Comments Thread For: Roy Jones Willing To Face Oscar De La Hoya in Triller PPV Clash

[joseph5620]

Roy has never been a big fan of Oscar, he’s mentioned wanting to fight him back in the day and it’s possibly due to Oscar getting all the praise and big pay days while Jones was light years better than him. But since you seem to be sensitive about the topic and need a quote from Roy where he expresses animosity towards Oscar, here you go:
"I don't even think he's (Oscar) got enough respect to talk to me. I never gave up. He gave up to a smaller man (Pacquiao). I don't owe no explanation for that. I don't even think he earned the right to talk to me. I ain't never quit. Got cut and still went on against what they called pound-for-pound one of the best fighters out there (Calzaghe) and never thought about quitting. And he gonna tell me what I need to do? I'm the kind of dude that will fight him, Shane Mosley and Bernard Hopkins all in the same night. I don't care."

In all fairness Oscar started that. It had nothing to do with Roy being resentful of Oscar's popularity. I'm not even saying he wasn't. But that's not what set him off with those comments. Oscar was talking sh**t.

You “take offense to this” - there we have it. You are the one sensitive about it.
In my last response, I asked you why you have to make it personal. I did not dispute it, I actually think you are probably right. However, the quote you shared left out context, which was Roy’s perceived diss.
Oscar was not being disrespectful to Roy at all. Every single person said the same thing. Maybe not to Roy’s face.

So to be clear, you were correct, I just never heard of Roy not liking Oscar.

ok........cool

LOL definitely.

Roy must still need money. He'll fight anyone regardless of weight class, smh. Word on the street is, he's offered to fight the winner of Morales VS Barrera IV.
