Comments Thread For: Roy Jones Jr. Defends Himself Against Errol Spence Criticism: 'I Don't Hate Nobody'

[siablo14]

Crawford undefeated across 3 weight classes and while Spence may have the best opponent between the two (in Porter) I'll take Crawford's lineal accomplishment at 140 along with undefeated reign through 135, 140, and 147. Also, Crawford has NEVER had a close fight. Spence had a tooth and nail fight with Porter and a competitive win against Danny Garcia...Porter beat Garcia more clearly than Spence did tbh. And let's not forget that Spence got away with like 100 low blows against Porter...Haymon refs, you know?

Crawford needs a promoter though. TR makes fights but they also should PROMOTE their star fighter. Crawford is going to be a ATG that never was because he couldn't get fights. Part of that is due to promotional division but most of it is due to TR not understanding how to PROMOTE fighters. Crawford could've been talking smack these past 3-4 years about PBC ducking him which would've built mega fights with ANY of PBC WW stable. Bud don't like talking smack? Well neither did GGG but Abel and Tom Loeffler talked enough for him. Arum just doesn't know how to promote. . .

You can't change perception. It is what it is.
People see Spence as the one holding up the fight.
For a guy who got involved in a life-threatening accident,
you'd think the sense of urgency would be inculcated.
It didn't. Nobody knows what the future holds for us,
even more so on fighters. They win, and they lose.
They may or get injured, inside or outside the ring.
They also lose their primes.

And this Spence guy thinks the fight will always be there for him.
The car crash did nothing. He thinks he has nine lives.

Always there for him? Spence is not the one struggling to get good fights so what does he have to worry about?

I agree with Roy Jones on this one he makes sense..

[The Old LefHook]

Jones was one of the greatest duckers of all time, and here is criticizing other duckers.

[archiemoore1]

Roy doesn't hate Errol, he just hates the other side of the street

Michalczewski? That euro phag wouldn't fight roy outside of Germany

Hopkins rematch?

Plus

If Spence fought Bum’s opposition he would never come close to losing

The irony and hypocrisy of Roy saying it's bad for boxing with those not wanting to prove who the best is. Roy spent his whole career ducking all the top fighters. Anyone who thinks Hopkins at the point he faced him, was one of the best, or even thought of as one of the best, clearly doesn't know boxing back in those days. As for Toney... Roy knew he was having serious difficulty with weight making, and that is why Toney is the only big name fighter he pursued. He never went after another name like that.

Spence doesn't want to fight Crawford. He's made that clear. He wants the easy road and all the plaudits for never having to prove it. He just wants to fool idiots he's a top fighter like the rest, when it's clear he hasn't beaten anyone worthy. He lost to Porter, beat a badly damaged Brook, and beat a long time loser in Garcia who hasn't done anything in his career other than take advantage of a Khan who was foolish with that move to bring about the KD after spanking him silly beforehand. Garcia made sure never to give Khan the opportunity he gave him because he knew what would have happened.

Anyone thinking they're going to fight the best in North America should know better by now. It's so boring having the same discussions for years with nothing to show for it. You should know it isn't going to happen unless the fighter they're supposed to fight looks way past it or is in bad circumstances. They're not fighters, they're vultures and cowards. Biding their time and waiting for that moment, otherwise they're not interested.

Both Hopkins and roy has 21 W at the time

Both were fighting for the vacant title

The ibf chose them to fight for it

You act like Roy picked Hopkins because Hopkins was inexperienced

Dumb f@ck

And you wanna pretend others don't know what they're talking about

Roy Jones stuck in his division for years and fought almost every top 10 175 fighter in his division

He didn't need to cherry pick

He fought everyone in 175 that would fight him

Michalczewski was too scared to lose his 0 to fight Roy outside of Germany

Or do u think Roy should go to Germany instead of fighting in Vegas?

Roy is right, he wants to see what the paying public want to see.

After getting blatantly screwed in the Olympics Roy vowed never to fight over sea again. Michalczewski refused to fight outside of Germany and not because he couldn't make more in Vegas but because it gave him an excuse to avoid RJ.

In context....During Floyd's prime, Roy was the P4P king, not Floyd... wrap your head around that!
