Roy Jones Jr: "BERNARD, YOU JUST AS BORING THEN AS YOU ARE NOW"

[VipersThunder]

Im a fan but Roy obviously hasn't watched his 3rd fight with Tarver. That was straight junk.

He must of forgot how bad Calzaghe was smacking him all over the ring too.

[VipersThunder]

a little bit more excitement than the usual one punch, clinch, lowblow, headbutting affairs...

When was the last time Jones beat a world Champion? 7 years ago. OK then, Looking good against a punching bag is a tad different then dominating a ring champion.

Here comes the Roy bashing in 3.....2....

He really brought it on himself with the boring comments.

[VipersThunder]

because toney and rjj are both shot and irrelevant.

But Jones beat Lacy, That practically makes him undefeated again.

[Bhopreign]

Roy has had plenty of boring fights.

[VipersThunder]

not for nothin, but shotroy still seems to be a major player marketwise as long as he can beat b and c fighters...thats something popkins has to deal with because shotroy still holds that decisive win on him...

Marketwise how? HBO won't even wipe there ass with his Christmas cards.

So Hopkins is a PPV attraction? Is this what you are saying?

[PittyPat]

I need my fans to be entertained so I will take a chance. I will gamble. I will drop my hands against the best of them because I want my fans to make sure they entertained and enjoy themselves so I will do that.

I agree with most of what he said, except this part. Against Trinidad and Calzaghe, he didn't do **** (barring a few KDs). Why only now, having fought 2 of Calzaghe's leftovers, has he decided to take a few more risks and let his hands go?

By rights he should've had Trinidad out of there after the first KD, and likewise Calzaghe.

from a marketing standpoint that don't mean jack...

you know you hopkins nutthuggers don't comprehend well do you...as long as jones can beat b and c level comp and look spectacular doing it, he can make a big fight happen for himself because he still has some star power left...plus its not like hopkins dominated calzaghe, he got a decent win (not a ko) against a slow fighter whose weaknesses he can exploit...

....he did pretty good with trinidad and calzaghe...ain't like nardo is putting a gazillion asses in the seats...
