Illegal wraps? have i missed something? If so care to elabrate?

[SoldierWarrior]

So who speaks the truth Roy or Green?

If Roy loses to Hopkins like we all believe he will, I guess he is setting himself up for a Green rematch... Boxing is all about money to fighters in higher weight classes.

Man, Roy Jones Jr looks ancient old. My dad did construction most of his life and my dad looks the same age as Roy and my Dads in his mid 50's....

I don't believe you. When your dad takes off his shirt, does he also display a ripped 6-pack???

I want Roy to win, I truly do. But I am done thinking he can "turn back the clock"

My dad is ripped not as ripped as Roy of course, but I was comparing facial features.

There were NO illegal wraps.

It's really pathetic for old Roy Jones to make excuses like that!

He can't face up to the reality that he's shot.

I think his team brought it up in the locker room before the fight.

But anyway.

Not many fighters can admit they are past it. They go on and on until they are completely forced out.

I remember hearing that in Japan, in Sumo wrestling, that if a Yokozuna (and maybe any wrestler at that...not sure on the rules)...but they can be forced to retire if they lose to much.

Roy was already on the decline even before his move up to HW but he was still ahead of the game where it didn't matter as much. But after he came back down from HW, his body was ruined and so was his career. He should have retired after Ruiz or stayed at HW and fought another big HW with a title...like Lewis...who more than likely would have knocked him out so maybe not the best choice either.

After the fight Roy issued a statement apologizing for getting beat and that he very well might retire. A few days later Hopkins said he kind of thought Roy was stopped early and out of nowhere Roy started talking about rabbit punches and illegal wraps. Pretty pathetic.
