Comments Thread For: Roy Jones Takes Exception To Klitschko Criticism: Why Would You Target Me?

[Lance98]

What does Jones have to do with any of this though? Klitschko should worry about the war, yet has time to run his mouth about Roy?

Kyiv is not under russian siege as all of the fighting is in the east of ukraine as of now, so he has time. You are the one who draw the line on he should do? You think he has to live in fear and be worried about the war 24/7, every single second?

Well, it's something we deal with everyday, everywhere. It should go the other way more too. Just take a look at NSB and the strong racism directed at African Americans and the Blacks in general.

That's a depressing mindset. Racism shouldn't be promoted or encouraged imo. It doesn't do any good.

The idiot Klits scare to help fight for his country but he wants to fight Roy Jones

Why lie about it when the article plainly says NO such thing. It is Jones who suggested, only half seriously I'm sure that they duke it out. It may not be your fault, you just may not beb able to read.

Wlad’s open rebuke of Roy Jones, Jr at the HOF ceremony was very personal and calculating. That was neither the time or place to take a shot at a legend such as Roy Jones, Jr.

He’s obviously holding a hate grudge against Jones for some odd reason. I don’t care what he says about Roy; Wladimir would never be remembered or as popular as Roy Jones, Jr.

One hundred years from now they will still be talking about Jones talent. Whereas, Wlad’s career was just mere fart in the wind

I’m so surprised that this thread turned racial towards Foundational Black Americans. I’m just so ultra surprised. Had that been Joe Calzaghe, Darrin Van Horn, or Greg Haugen you’d not hear race mentioned at all. I swear boxing has a segment of its fandom that is just extremely low rent, poorly educated, bitter, and extremely toxic and given to scapegoating

Klitschko is so up his own arse, it's embarrassing.

Kinda hoping that he does come back so i can watch him get chinned again.

Wrong klitschko

Whatever...

Klistchko asks whether Jones is on the side of the aggressor or the nation subject to aggression.

Well one could ask the same of both Klitschko brothers with their historical support for Israel, and perhaps they’ll start decrying the trend for big fights taking place in Saudi Arabia while it’s a human rights death zone and aggressor of Yemen.

What does that have to do with Russia illegally entering the borders of a sovereign nation, executing thousands of civilians, destroying thousands & thousands of homes, hospitals, schools & maternity wards, displacing 5 million Ukrainians and committing war crimes?

You make too much sense. But some Americans are too ****** and blinded by their favorite network and political ideology. If you catch them without google, you will see some of them are clueless. They just parrot comments someone else said.

In America, there is no seeing reason from the opposing side. Every idea or pov is a bad idea as long as it is coming from the other side.

In a nutshell, this scenario shows just how bad it is in the US in terms of picking sides:

********s/left wingers/******** slammed Donald Trump for his announced troop withdrawal from Afghanistan. Right wingers were in agreement with Trump and cheering him on for “bringing the troops home.” This was negotiated by the Trump admin.

Fast forward: **********s/************* were mad at ***** for withdrawing the troops, even in a delayed timeline that surpassed Trump’s deadline. With Trump out of office, and now an “enemy” in office (a ********), the right wingers called it a terrible idea and said the troops should stay. ********s now called it a great idea, of course, because it was being enacted by a ********ic president.

That’s US politics in a nutshell. Basically: As long as my side is the one going through with an idea, it’s all good. They don’t know what they are arguing for and have no actual point of view of their own. A bunch of sheep.

Great post. Kudos.
