    Somthing roy jones said that shocked me.

    During the gatti fight roy was asked what should of gatti done to win the fight roy's words "Gatti should not of taken the fight with FMJ" To me those are cowards words.I hate when boxers duck each other from fighting. Most of the fighters nowadays are p@#$%.

    In fairness to Roy maybe he meant that because he just feels sorry for Gatti being peppered like that. That's Just IMO. peace bro.

      I am not, Roy has always called it down the line. Roy shoots the straight facts regardless of how harsh they are. Gatti had no viable reason to bein there with Mayweather.

        I think he said that with a bit of sarcasm. He didnt mean it literally. The same question could have been asked prior to the fight and he would have given a completely "analyzed" answer...

          RJJ has been there done that. gatti didn't have to take that fight, he wants to fight tho. he doesn't care if he loses, obvously he wants to win. but he wants to always prove himself

              Roy based the entire 2nd half of his career on not taking dangerous fights. Why are you surprised he said that?

                Give credit to Gatti for even wanting that fight. I mean..truthfully his chance of winning was real slim..but he took on the challenge and lost. But..at least...hes out there, willing to fight anyone.

                  GREAT CALL, the list of guys that Roy coulda/shoulda fought (Darius, a prime Hill, Nunn, Brewer, Benn, Rocchiagiani) is more impressive than the list of guys that he actually did fight, it's no surprise that he would encourage and accept other fighters ducking quality opponenets

                    you're saying a super middle weight fighting a heavy weight isn't dangerous?
