David Tua's Legal Issues Cost Him Roy Jones Jr. Bout

[Chr0nic]

Please. At the height of his popularity Roy could have set up a fight with ANY fighter on ANY NIGHT OF THE WEEK if he chose to do so. I give him credit for challenging and beating Ruiz, but his HW career began and ended with Ruiz for a reason. He talked a lot about fighting the best HWs, but it was all talk; nothing more.

jim lampley and larry merchant disagree, saying ''jones has been so dominant that the competition has run out on him, two 168 belt holders, steve collins and frankie liles, have rejected big money offers to fight with jones. At 175 pounds he hopes to lure Virgil Hill, the recognised lightheavyweight champion. Happily, the only prizefighter out there that seems positively eager to fight roy jones is montell griffin''

Jones would have died.

Lol. By decapitation, most likely.

Chris Byrd had fought in the heavyweight division for a few years, so was used to fighting big men. He was also a good 15-20lbs heavier than the Jones who fought Ruiz. Byrd also showed that he had a decent chin, and a big heart. Jones could have done the same thing to Tua as Byrd did, bit I don't think he could have done it for 12 rounds.

Also, while Jones went to the ropes often, he really wasn't as great at fighting off the ropes as Byrd was. I can't imagine Jones going against the ropes fighting Tua and being able to hold him off.

He would have to use the jab and foot movement constantly and I'm not sure if he could have done that at 35 years of age against a bigger, stronger David Tua.

The story of Roy Jones' career.

The sequel will be starring Mayweather.

Hopefully not though.

[VipersThunder]

this is what people dont know about roy jones, he actually tried to fight the best, he was crazy serious about takin on douglas[/B] before his father stepped in and his middle-supermiddle competition bailed on him, not the other way around, franky liles and steve collins ducked roy jones at 168 and that's why jones moved up

people should pay more respect instead of yapping their mouths about **** they dont know sayin he avoided every credible fighter

STFU! Douglas was so fat and washed up at the time it wasn't even funny. Tua would of put Jones in a body bag.

[EL ANIMAL]

lets just hope he dosent have these issues in the near future,, cause really tua dont have the time...

[WhoreUs]

I would not have put Jones anywhere near Davie Tua, but that's some interesting ****.

prime jones would have schooled tua 10 times worse than byrd did.

only problem is if tua landed something.

think tarver-jones 2 and imagine it was a tua left hook landing.

and you know tua would have followed it up with something as he was going down like he always does......
