Roy Jones emulates everything wrong with boxing

[Neuraxis]

leonard snorted *******, duran was an alcholic and ali refused to fight for his own country. im a big fan of all these guys but trying to say that anyone is perfect for the sport is just ******. the roy haters are just thrashing him with everything in the book now that hes vunerable to be critisized, he was a great fighter and deserves to be mentioned in the "same breath" with a hell of alot more great fighters than shown here. let the man retire in peace.

This was going on a long time before he lost to Johnson.

im not a fan of war myself but if someone told you that you had to kill a person or that person would kill your family, what would you do? if you dont help your side in the fight, then its possible that your side can lose, do you want that?

[puppy_dogg]

Then you did not understand the original article.

i remember you used to ride my **** a long time ago about ****** ****. for some reason you used to have **** starting comments towrds me, then i did'nt see you for a while. why are you back?

No one in the US was in any danger of being killed or even hurt by the Viet Cong.
The only americans who were, were the ones who went over there starting **** without any real information.

That war was complete bull****.
It did not need to take place.

I don't think that in any of our wars (excluding the 9/11 incident) that any US citizen living in the US was in any danger from outside forces or countries that we were in war against.

Even if we decided to do nothing, do you really think some third world country could take over the US?
It's not possible.

I never talked to you before, and, obviously, I will never talk to you ever again.

great trivia right here cause most people dont know it. did you know that part of WW2 was fought on american soil? the japenese invaded one of the alucian islands off the coast of alaska. thats why to this day there is still a roadway connecting alaska to north america. we had to build it to help get supplies to the troops in alaska.

Ah well.. I never said I was a history buff.
I thought the only US soil that the Japanese attacked was Pearl Harbor.

It was mostly a single, small island, though they did take 2. The US spent months building up supplies and troops for an amphibious assualt and expected to take high casualties.
They spent quite a bit of time on a naval bombardment of the island, then landed troops, only to find the island deserted.
The Japanese slipped off the Aleutian Island of Kiska under cover of bad weather 2 weeks before.

Your missing the point - This view has surfaced quite a bit since Jones lost to Tarver and the best version of it I read was the article entitled "Libertaion" in the Ring Magazine with Bernard Hopkins on the cover - The issues that covered the Hopkins Allen, DLH Sturm fight.

The Liberation article gave Jones his due for skills - But noted that there are a fair few qualities of Jones that wont be missed - Namely all the tough talking and then taking lame mandatory title challenegers, holding HBO to ransom for crappy matchups and not really fighting in a manner of a warrior, more of the reluctant hero.

As usual at this point in a career - Its easy to come out of the woodwork and hate on the guy - But the bottom line is Jones WAS the best fighter of the 90s - And for all the good and bad experiences he provided us with - He's now not really in a position to fight on.

I hope he takes stock of an awesome career and retires with dignity.
