Comments Thread For: Danny Green Crushes Roy Jones in One; Hopkins II Off

[DD09]

Welcome to the world of us Hatton fans...

LMFAO that was the funniest post I have seen on here..

Jones never threw back and he was obviously hurt from the knockdown,correct stoppage.
The man is 40 yrs old and doesnt need to be taking shot after shot.

His legs were gone, he was obviously hurt and was absorbing a lot of punishment to the body. It was just a matter of time. He would not have survived another minute of that relentless attack plus he wasn't throwing anything back at all. Good stoppage. No need to be blood thirsty.

Exactly, good comments.

As a RJJ Fan not only should he retire but I don't know who would be interested in watching him fight again. I was still skeptical after Lacy, now I am sure.

As a fan you always want and hope to see a glimpse of the old RJJ, and the Lacy fight did that. Unfortunately it was deceiving...RJJ needs to retire.

It didn't help to have a UK referee either..referee jumped in too quick in my opinion...typical UK stoppage

BULL****. It was a good stoppage.

Roy Jones Jr. wasn't great because he had mastered the fundamentals; he didn't have technical brilliance or a boxing brain to overcome obstacles. He was the greatest athlete to ever step in the ring. A physical specimen, pure and simple. Coupled with the confidence he had in his youth, we witnessed a meteoric rise of one of the best pound-for-pound fighters in history.

Unfortunately for us (and Roy), athleticism is one of the first things to go with age, and coming back down from heavyweight didn't help. There was nothing else for him to fall back on. He needs to hang 'em up. He's already damaged what would have been a top 10 all-time p4p status by dragging it out this far.

sad day for boxing,a legand getting beat like that,i hope he hangs up the gloves now

It was a sad day seeing Roy get beat that easily by a limted fighter. Green was a solid puncher with good fitness and heart, nothing more. Even do Roy was past his best, I still thought he had enough left to box the ears off Green.

The same Green who was given a boxing lesson at the hands of fellow Aussie Anthony Mundine, who although is a good fighter is nothing special, and who had suffered a KO defeat to Sven Okkte and a points loss to Manny Siaca.

But it just shows me how much of a washed up fighter Roy is. His punch resistance has faded and he has no legs or reflexes no more. It also goes to show me how washed up Jeffy Lacy and Omar Sheika are, two men who Roy destroyed this year.

But I will remember Roy at his peak. Jones at the peak of his powers, attempted things no boxer had ever attempted before. Whether it was Jabbing from a distance, or hitting and slipping from mid range, throwing fast explosive combinations on the inside.

At his best Jones threw the Boxing textbook out the window, but he was that gifted he could probaly wirte his own on the art of boxing.

Jones possesed uncanny speed, reflexes and ring intelligence. On his best day, Roy would of been a problem for any fighter around his weight classes.

In his remarkable career. Roy was a 4 weight division champion, which included winning titles from Middleweight to Heavyweight. Thanks for the memories Roy.......

when someone is as dominant as RJJ was, unfortunately it seems, that sometimes this kind of loss to precisely this type of opponent is exactly what it takes to force that seemingly difficult call of retirement. that call will surely be made. respect to RJJ

Listen to you all, "in his prime this, in his prime that" who gives a ****, he just got wasted. i told you all green would destroy him and all laughed at me. after the lacy fight u all said he's back to his best, he will kill green. back to his prime again!" now u all say he's over the hill again and excuses excuses etc etc. Green will make his mark in the US and if hopkins got the balls he will under-estimate and be destroyed by Danny Green aswell. My "C" class fighter as you call him just killed your legend. Hopkins is smart though. He wont want any part of Danny.

You're a ****in' idiot. Nobody said Roy was back to his best. They were saying he looked better after Lacy and still had enough to beat Green. You know damn well prime Roy ****s all over Green and his premature stoppage ass win over an already twice stopped 40 y/o legend.

You need to pay respect to the man. Punk ass.

[Chase8400]

LOL! Right on! I never liked Roy,I always thought his constant showboating & disrespecting his opponent was a disgrace! I don't mind the odd look to the crowd but dancing & gyrating like a *** was ridiculous.I always knew eventually someone would shut him up.I was so happy when tarver & Johnson knocked him out but this danny green guy totally embarrassed him & it was ****** for Roy to look past him to a Hopkins fight...LOL! ****** is what ****** does! **** off Roy! You are rich,so disappear & shut your mouth.you had a decent run even though you carefully handpicked your opponents & never took risks...LOL! See ya you clown!

Get the **** outta here prick

[SkillspayBills]

Green is supposed to be the type of fighter Roy plays around with, carrying several rounds because he doesn't really want to hurt him. Wow..............it's over man. It's over.
