Comments Thread For: Roy Jones Urges Fedor Emelianenko To Face Him in Boxing: We're Both Russian Athletes!

[wrecksracer]

Yeah. Russians made him a citizen just to make the US government mad. Itīs not the Soviet era but still there is a beef. Jones should have benn stripped of his US citizenship. Nobody in Slavic Russia would even remotely consider him a Russian, nor does he have anything to do with Russia.

They made him a Russian to train their boxers. Roy is such a benedict arnold. POS

Dumb, RJJ. Just dumb.

Roy is African. His accomplishments belong to the black people of sub-Saharan Africa. You think Joe ***** gets to feel more joy and inspiration from Roy Jones Jr's career than Vladimir ***** because Joe and Roy were both born on the same strip of land?

So youre saying it matters less where he was born and lived all his life and was trained, and more where his ancestors are from and he has never lived?

He's not african. Hes american, or I guess Russian now. Im not Polish or Irish; Im american. RJJ doesnt know any more about Africa that you do.

Ethnicity & nationality is 2 different things Roy Jones jr is African American his nationality is Russian & American. Russians are mainly slavs ethically with the tan Russians usually being Tatar(Turkish) or some mixed slav & Asian(Korean) like demitty Bivol

Jones lost a nod in July to an amateur, Anthony Pettis. Somebody stop this this guy, a fatality waiting to happen.

I missed that, now I got to go look. Or maybe I shouldn't.

I'm curious why does Roy Jones accomplishments belong to anyone but himself? He's the one who put countless hours into his craft not others. People should be inspired and feel represented but not entitled to the success of another purely due to sharing the same skin colour.

Roy jones needs to stop this ****. he is beyond shot. I saw him in an interview the other day and he looked pretty good, no sluring his speech and very mentally alert... he needs to stop pushing his luck and needs to stop sparring hard and taking these silly fights. Even if fedor doesn hurt him, heavy sparing he can get brain damage from that and at his age and with all the KO's hes had he needs to stop pushing his luck.

Is RJJ the ultimate Russian spy? Who would suspect a black Russian?

Erm, Pushkin……

Exactly, Roy’s ancestors are centuries removed from so called “sub-Saharan” Africa. And by the way, many foundational black Americans actually do have Saharan/Sahelian ancestor particularly from Mail, Mauritania, Morocco, etc etc
