When did Roy Jones become everyones *****?

[theironone]

I don't really get to hear too much of his commentary, has he really changed that much and become humble, could be age too

[theironone]

Yo man.....thats the difference of America and England. Over here theres no such thing!

Hahaha you really have to have watched bo selecta to have got that

[Riptor]

Not really, hes a fighter, and hes proud of himself, hes accomplished alot, more than any of us on this board in his respective field, he has every right to feel that way and i dont blame him, because id probably be the same way if i made a living beating the **** out of people, and i only failed at it 2 times in my whole life.

Yes Jones can be happy about being an accomplished fighter and he has probably accomplished more than any of us on the board when it comes to boxing only. But I am sure that everyone here has their niche in life that they excel at. Jones trains 8 hours a day seven or six days a week. I am sure that if the rest of us had done that since the time we were five or six years old that we would be outstanding fighters too. I am sure that there are many doctors, lawyers, engineers, teachers or whoever else on this board and they in their respectvie fields excel beyond jones capabilities. Besides that you never know one of these very members could be Floyd Mayweather or Vitali Klitchko (who in the eyes of many members is even greater than Roy)

The differences, thousands of people dont gather in a stadium/arena/venue to watch a lawyer defend someone, doctor perform surgery etc. Thousands of people admire Roy Jones for what hes done.

Im gonna assume after reading a hilarious post you made about VK in the Gatti thread that you were joking.

And no, none of these members are those fighters, they dont have time to be sitting here trading nonsense with us. When they do, its usually a featured thing anyway. The point is, Roy is accomplished, he can say whatever he wants, hes earned it, period. You may not have to like it, but it doesnt make him a ****head for thinking he has a chiseled figure.

hmm

The fact of the matter is, Roy on TV after a fight and Roy commentating or in the street are different people. The fact is, none of you know Roy, so stop bitching and get a life. Wow. Roy is the kind of guy to talk to any person who comes along, and that's not arrogant.

If you can't deal with athletes talking in 3rd person, you shouldn't be hatin on just Roy cuz about half of all athletes out there do it, and maybe you would too in their situation...



Some of you take Roy a little too seriously, obviously.

take a slice of your own advice, "Stop bitching and get a life" Roy's career is O-V-E-R, he's a decade past his prime, and never fought a single competitive opponent until his last 3 fights where he went 1-2 with the 1 win being controversial

That has nothing to do with what hes saying. Hes saying dont cry over roy talking about himself, when hes earned the right too. Yea, Roy is probably ****in gone and shot, but hes still Roy.

you don't have to "earn the right" to talk about yourself, anyone with a pair of lips can talk, the issue is that Roy's a better talker than a fighter at the present time, so his words don't carry any weight any longer....the 3rd person nonsense is just a consequence of the copy-cat society we live in, somebody thought Ali and Sugar Ray sounded super-duper-cool when they did it, so chumps like Karl Malone and Roy Jones copy their act and try to pump up their already inflated ego's

[DiegoFuego]

Roy is the best commentator in sports today. He knows boxing better than any commentator knows their respective sport. But we'll leave it at that.

He's not so hot in the ring.

Dont pull this "copy cat" society ****. Black people in the slave days were talking just as good **** as Ali did in his prime. The difference is, Ali had the mic in front of him. Ali isnt the first black man to talk a good game of **** and he certainly wont be the last.

Dont try to pull the "society of sheep" card, please, accomplished people at high eschelons of society have been speaking in the 3rd person for years.

OH NO, YOU SAID SUGAR RAY LEONARD! How dare he call himself Sugar Ray! After the great Sugar Ray Robinson! How dare he, in this copycat society call himself that.

OH WAIT, Sugar Ray Robinson is a copycat too! because wasnt even his real ****ing name!

Get over that, everyone is a copycat, unless you invented the ****ing wheel or whatever, people emulate things they like. Im sure you didnt make your own clothes, so stop copycatting society by buying clothes someone else made.


Your not original, your not clever, and your not above anyone else, and your sure as hell not any better than anyone else in this copy cat society we live in, its a copy cat world, people see something they like, they get influenced by it and work off it, every great musician, artist, designer, sports star had an influence.
