Benn: "Jones dodged me", Eubank: "Roy avoided my calls", Collins: "Roy ran scared!",

[JUYJUY]

I bet Roy has made more money then them now, u mean they will never be a big name like Jones, if u ask a non boxing fan who Jones is they will most likely no, but ask them who Eubank is or BEnn, they will be like i dont kno. Roy woulda beay any of them at 168, he beat Toney and Hopkins 2 of the top fighters today and one of them is p4p number one and people say he never beat no one. it just doesnt make sense.

NOBODY has ever heard of Roy Jones here in Britain aside from boxing fans. Whereas EVERYBODY knows Benn and Eubank here in Britain, they are big celebrities (especially Eubank).

Im a brit too-but the way he quit on the stool against collins just disgusted me-a taste i never managed to rid myself of.........

In fairness he was a very good fighter, could **** and had a good resume. So i spose i must be talking bollox.........

post mclellen a man he turned into a vegatable, he had no desire for boxing mate.

sorry if i seemed harsh no offence meant.

Totally disagree with that, more like you could tell he was gone in the Nardiello and Perez fights! Benn looked slow, easy to hit and a shadow of his former self in those few fights after McClellan. So I predicted that Malinga would win (nobody gave Malinga a chance though, which I couldn't understand because Benn was clearly done), it was only Benn's awkwardness and 'whacking' ability that got him through the Nardiello and Perez fights - they just couldn't take Benn's whacks and crumbled. But Malinga had a solid chin and good staying power (even though he was knocked down by the frustrated Benn in that fight).

Maybe so, it's been years since I saw those fights. The Malinga fight's the one where I remember him looking truly awful for the 1st time.

Good thread.

[The Hammer]

Dariusz M. had similar experiences with Roy Jones in trying to get a fight as Benn, Eubank and Collins did.

[The Gully Gad]

I think Jones would of beaten Benn and collins on the same night
Collins dosent deserve to be even mentioned with Eubank and Benn
He beat both those guys when they were stiffs and even then he couldnt finish them.

Last time I checked, Benn got his ass reamed by Malinga. Jones KOed Malinga in his next fight. This thread is a moot point. No one listed will ever be inducted in the HOF and will be an afterthought in the history books. All the excuses come from the haters. Jones would have destroyed everyone you listed above during that period of time. To think otherwise would be nothing more than ignorance. Even if you hate Roy you can't take away from his ability and what he accomplished.

Well the problem is with Jones you can only predict and fantasize about who would win. I agree that Jones would have beat them 3 but the fact is he refused to fight these fighters because of the risk

Well It's no secret that Roy Jones has spent a lot of his career avoiding the best in each division.

I think the reason was because Gerald McClellan was a friend of his, and after seeing what happened to him, it changed Roy forever... He only ever looked for fights that he KNEW he could win, or fights agaist fighters that weren't dangerous.

He's been quite vocal about this... I don't wanna harp on about Joe Calzaghe, but Roy Jones openly admitted - "I'll never fight Joe Calzaghe coz' he's too dangerous, he's fast, powerfull, hungry, and unbeaten. I can make easier money defending my belts against easier fighters".

That really F**ked me off when Jones said that, and I lost a lot of respect for him.

he never said that your dopey prick, and his friends disability crisis was not too log ago, it's his reason for not wanting to knock people out, believe, he can still knock the **** out of alot f top contenders even today, quit bein such a hater, jealousy and envy are a *****
