Roy Jones......ME ME ME?!?!? WTF!!!!

[Tha Greatest]

ya

damn leave tha guy alone
dont u guys got better things to do then hate on the guy

[Mr. Violence]

I used to be a Roy Jones fan until I started to see what a classless ****head he is. He did beat Hopkins fair and square but the truth is neither were in their prime when they fought. His commentary Saturday night showed shades of thinly disguised jealousy toward Hopkins because Hopkins legacy is now bigger than his. Like Roy's comment "Hopkins is the kind of guy that likes to stay in one weight division and dominate-I needed more than that that's why I became Heavyweight Champion- king of the mountain."...that statement is a half truth, because everyone knows who the true Champion was at the time...Lennox Lewis was the true linier champion. If Roy would have moved up and beaten the true champ Lennox that would have been a great feat no doubt, much like when Spinx moved up in the 1980's and defeated Larry Holmes. But instead Roy went after one of the alphabet soup belts and a much easier challenge than Lewis in John Ruiz. So Roy needs to stop hyping that as much as he does since he didnt beat the true Heavyweight Champion...he never was "the" Heavyweight Champion-king of the mountain. Oh well, Bernard now has a bigger legacy 20 title defenses...and counting so Roy "knock out victim" Jones is just jealous that Hopkins will be remembered by something great and he'll be remembered for getting knocked the **** out twice.

i hear ya elvis. just ask tracylee, im a huge jones nuthugger and i must admit i got sick of hearing him the other night. the huge delay was bad enough but all the bull**** made it worse. when roy is calm and talks about whats going on in the ring he's great cause he points things out very well but sometimes he gets to excited and starts yelling into the camera and talking out of his ass, i admit it got on my nerves enough to flip between channels until the fight started. all the best fighters have enormous ego's, lennox lewis is kinda the same way. i do wish emanuel steward would come back for a few fights in place of roy.

has anyone else gotten sick of hearing joy jones constantly talk about himself? it was just enough saturday night. everytime lamply would ask roy his opinion or any other question all roy would do was talk about himself. all i wanted to do was say to him....."hey roy......YOU GOT KNOCK THE FUG OUT!!!!!!" FRIDAY style. not one single comment that roy jones made did not include the words....I or me. what a loser.

One thing I didn't agree with Roy doing was when Lampley said 'Do you wish you did this' It sounded aggressive when roy almost yelled at him, "I HAD NEVER WISHED ANYTHING IN MY WHOLE LIFE" and continued on about himself..lol lampley just sat there with that smirk

i know lampley was thinking 'ok we gotta get this ******* off the air,'

"Hopkins is the kind of guy that likes to stay in one weight division and dominate-I needed more than that that's why I became Heavyweight Champion- king of the mountain.".

Ya, that pissed me off when I heard that. Can't believe he would say something so disrespectful to b-hop..

it was refreshing to hear Taylor's humble respectful interview though, "It's an honor to fight on Bernard hopkins card" etc was great to hear from him.

and yeah when he said that **** about being heavyweight champ, I laughed my ass off, thinking to myself "hell most good 140-175'ers could whip ruiz anyway, all you were doing was a circus freak show to say you beat a heavy" dking probably motivated roy to do it too

"Hopkins is the kind of guy that likes to stay in one weight division and dominate-I needed more than that that's why I became Heavyweight Champion- king of the mountain.".

I don't see how that is disrespectful? he basically just said what Hopkins is doing...that Hopkins likes to dominate his weight class!

he is a very good commentator...he IS a fighter with a history so if he has some relation to the questions or fighters he is commentating on, of course he will bring himself up...

don't you guys know Roy Jones Jr. already? this is who he is...I thought you would have been used to it by now.

I guess no one pays attention to to the MANY more times where he is professional and insightful in his broadcasting. He does very well and points out things in fights that the other commentators wouldn't normally notice.

Merchant just doesn't like any of today's fighters.

Did anyone notice after Taylor won and Merchant went up to interview him, Edoard was hanging on Taylor and said 'You interviewin us both' and merchant said 'NO IM NOT' in a mean way, lol I laughed pretty hard, he just sorta pushed ed aside and got the interview on..then right as it started taylor's like 'he was afraid of the jab, ' haha

With good reason.


Besides, where is Manny Steward anyways? I thought Roy was just going to cover World Championship broadcasts and it was going to be Roy doing a few fights here and Steward doing a few their? Just curious, dont mind because Steward puts me to sleep with his constant mumbling and him and larry doesnt mesh well so it turns me off...But just curious as to why he hasnt been on the programs in a long time.

hey so far i have heard good arguements from both sides but they are all just opinions. as such i still think that jones commentating is terrible. i bet any of the intelligent things he has to say about boxing are scripted for him and he has to practice them for weeks leading up to the fight.
