In Roy Jones' 1st time facing adversity he folded like a lawn chair...

[Clegg]

Getting knocked out isn't the same as 'folding'.

Folding is when you wilt mentally, even when your body can go on. Folding is accepting defeat when victory is still a possibility.

Roy got hit and was physically unable to get up in time. Whether he was the mentally strongest guy in the world or the weakest, you cannot do what your legs/body won't allow.

Roy had a very tough upbringing from his father, you don't come out the other side of that as a world champion if you fold easily.

It was close, but he lost the first fight to Tarver, imo.

[The Badguy]

and here i thought the general consensus of jones first fight with adversity was tarver one

truth is has faced adversity many times before that, he was also slightly drained and broke his wrist mid-fight against hopkins, playing basketball then having a proffesional boxing match on the same day pushed his stamina, fighting with a fractured wrist against telesco, fighting with a torn bicep against trinidad and the most famous, being heavily weight-drained against tarver

and as for jones chin, he got tagged a couple of times against harding, a guy who broke tarvers jaw, and 3 ribs

How the **** can you even mention Trinidad... Tito best weight was 147... Didn't he fight jones at 170 or some ****. Tito has been done since Hopkin knocked his ass out...smh

how does that negate the fact that fighting with a torn bicep is overcoming adversity? his bicep has looked wierd as **** ever since then

When was the first time you saw Roy face adversity?

[T.McGrady]

LOL haters... I'll say the same thing i said in the other thread WATCH TARVER VS JONES I then we can have a conversation.

[Vadrigar.]

lol, have you even watched jones' career?

Jones had the heart of a lion.

[johnm is...]

When was the first time you saw Roy face adversity?

I'm curious to see how many times he's going to avoid this question.

He is probably one of those haters, who started watching Roy late in his career.

Me too. You can tell he's annoyed because he's so confrontational in his responses but he is really ducking this question.
