It wasn't his performance against Hopkins, nor was it against Toney, it wasn't his behind the back punch of that other Glenn, nope...it was him getting his ass beaten.
    Roy your a great champ, for years I thought you were boring as hell yet unbeatable, thanks for the last two fights because everything before that was pretty damn dull. Hell I think you should continue to fight Roy you never have been more exciting than you are now!
    You got it all backward do you? You watch the guy for his losses? Do you attend ****** school?

      What a bunch of temperamental bitches we have here, ya know I wrote a while back about a guy name Gerald Mccellan and multiple people had alot of fun after that by making fun of G-man being in a comma, I never said anything bad about Roy Jones, I stated for a long while he was boring yet unbeatble and that his last two fights were his most exciting fights ever...what, you guys thought that him and nard treated the fans to a real eye pleasing fight, watch it again I have it, I will flat out send it to you in the mail if you give me address, I don't need it. Maybe I should not have said that he should keep fighting( I shouldn't of) cuz he shouldn't no doubt about that, but **** in a, jump all over me, nothing I said wasn't true, except yeah he should quit.
      As for babbylon killah, you wanted 5 fighters above 140 who are more exciting, ****-thats ****in easy! The last time Roy was exciting was against Clinton Woods, I was ringside to watch Roy beat up on a bum, tell me killah what Roy fight was just breathtaking to watch-I never critisize someone who is on this board by saying they don't know **** about the sport-ya know why because this sport should embrace every fan it has because lets face it its not the NFL or Nascar(both suck compared to the seet science) hell I have probably been following boxing longer than most who critisized me, but thats even ****** for me too say, point is you don't like someones post tell them why, don't tell them they don't know the sport because chances are they probably know more than you think. anyways lets see five fighters above 140 more exciting than Roy-note you said exciting not talented, here goes-Felix Trinidad, Oscar Delahoya, Lennox Lewis, Ricardo Mayorga, Vassilly Jirov, Mike Tyson, Joe Calzaghe, James Toney, Bernard Hopkins, ARturo Gatti, Emanuel Augustus, Teddy Reid, I could go on and on,(all more exciting none more talented) Roy was the best fighter for a decade, I think no one can argue that however he was boring, to show you how boring he was people have been talking about his one round destruction of montel griffin for nearly a decade saying man if you make roy made he montell griffin your ass(Roy fans and boxing cult fans desperately needed some new material but Roy never delivered anything like that ever again)-all of the fighters I have mentioned above I personally would rather watch than Roy fight another mandatory(even his self promoted undercards suck, ever been to a Jones undercard?) I am sorry for offending anyone witht this thread, I love the sport and recognize what a Roy Jones legacy is all about, again I apologize for offending anyone on this site!

        I gotta admit, Roy Jones Jr.'s legacy is so severely tarnished now that he has been knocked out in consecutive fights. His chin had always remained a mystery until he was ko'ed and left helpless on the ground against Johnson. An article had said this was Jones' worst nightmare, but it is also Jones' fans' worst nightmare, as he was adored by people who loved him, along with Tyson and "Super" Zab Judah. Roy Jones is no longer a value to the boxing community and should bow out before he is embarrassed further.

          he stands beside spinks in the history books because of his victory over ruiz. he was considered p4p #1 in the world for over a decade. he showed the world an akward yet brilliant skill in the ring that no one has ever seen before. no matter how much you haters want it, you'll never be able to keep roy out of the hall of fame and you'll never take his already legendary status.

          i admit that hes done now, and i hope he quits so he does'nt give yall anymore **** to talk. yes im a nuthugger. roys the man

            I agree his legacy has been tarnished, however he was still unquestionable the best fighter in the world for years, could somone have exposed him sooner, maybe, but they didn't(Toney and Nard had their chance). Ken Griffey Juniors legacy has been hurt too, but you can't forget that at one time for three or four years he was the best the game had to offer-Jones is the same.( ****,after getting ripped apart on this Site for sort of ripping Jones now I have to defend him) Tyson gone definately but even though I hate Zab I thought he beat spinks by a round, he could easily defeat him in a rematch making him Ring king at 147.

              Very true, which is why the Boxing Community employed Antonio Tarver and Glen Johnson to do what we couldn't.

                You don't really believe that, do you? Why didn't Jones fight Lennox? Was it his disdain for fighting quality competition?

                    Would it have mattered if Michael Spinks moved up and fought Mike Weaver or Georrie Coetzee instead of Larry Holmes?
