Interview w/ Roy Jones (1996)

[JUYJUY]

Fair enough
its a good view to put out but the guys a hypocrit, ie. in one of his songs he glorifies himself for drinking and smoking drugs.

It's annoying, the guy lacks consistency with so much he comes out with.

I've heard about him drinking and smoking drugs between fights in the past, but on many other occasions he has said that he's never touched the stuff. What's up with that? There's no consistency.

Jones Jr seems to worship God judging by what he said there (or was it bull****? who knows with Jones Jr!), but you don't see Tupac or 50 cent going to Church too often do you? Neither do you see many Priest's or Pope's getting thrills whilst watching animal's kill eachother.

[Tony Blitz]

You're telling me this guy never touched drugs or alcohol? Haha, I really doubt that, nice speach he gave to the kids though but I'm sure they knew it was bogus

[RoyJonesJrp4pno1]

Roy has been ducking Calzaghe for years.

Funny guy. Is this the same Roy Jones who has fought Ruiz at heavyweight, Tarver, Toney and Hopkins.

Damn did rjjrp4pno1 forget to mention Glen Johnson who Calzaghe ducked with the famous "back injury" bull****.

[BadMagick]

thats a hell of alot to get through but an interesting read none the less. One thing i dont like was how he talked about not taking drugs and not drinking and not doing **** like that. Fair enough
its a good view to put out but the guys a hypocrit, ie. in one of his songs he glorifies himself for drinking and smoking drugs.
Another point he said he respected bernard hopkins for wanting to fight him again saying ' to be the best he has to beat the best', coming from a guy who apparently turned donw joe calzaggi because he was to tough of a fightl.
My opionion of the guy - great fighter with great skills but a fruad of a sportsman.

He raps, that doesn't mean he actually did the stuff. He still claims today to have never touched alcohol or any drug.

No, but I DO see Preists ******ing children...

You have to go by what ROY says, not what people say they saw him doing. Anyone can say something about anyone to make them look bad. According to Roy he NEVER drank, or smoked, why not believe it? Because he rapped about it?! Everything that's written in songs is true, right? I guess we better arrest Dave Mustaine for killing all those people with a sledgehammer then, huh?

Also, they might have been negotiating with Collins. Fights fall through all the time.

I dont think you ever have personally witnessed a Priest ****** a child. However I DO see you like to spread nasty accusations.

Okay, I haven't witnessed it, but I have heard of it. In fact, one of my cousins was approached by one of them when he was younger. Nothing happened, though. Basically, he and a friend got a ****o from some store, and his mom found out. The priest then asked the two, after church, (you know that Alter Boy training crap, or whatever) if they liked dirty movies. They thought his mom had told the priest, and said no, and left.

It never even got to the negotiation table according to Collins. Disgrace.

[BadMagick]

What makes Collins so much more credible, other than he's a Brit?

[Super Cruiserweight]

I dont agree with the ****fighting **** that Roy loves,i dont think its right and its banned in every state apart from Roys aint it ? I also heard that half of all the roosters involved in ****fights r killed ! also Roys not exactly the best of rappers lol.

But what we cant deny is that Roy was a admirable boxer and a legend. great fighter and so admirable
