Nothing Rjj Did Was Ever Appreciated??

[acquitted]

im sick of ppl claiming rjj wasnt a great fighter and he didnt fight great fighters...its funny how james toney and hopkins get more respect then jones and he mad them both look like **** in their fight...when roy demolished montel griffin ..griffin was a very good fighter ..bottom ****in line..any boxer who goes 12 13 years and dominates every person is a great fighter...he has a super middleweight frame and he bet a heavyweight...hagler monzon mcclean or even most of u europeans boyfriends calzaghe and michaelski would never have the heart to fight a heavyweight..and once again RJJ haters go to hell!!

Whatever you see in this forum is an appreciation of RJJ, of sorts. Posters appreciate RJJ one way or the other.

it's true, i mean you can make an arguement that roy ducked so and so and what not, the bottom line is, in his prime he was unstoppable, without a doubt the greatest fighter of this generation.

Roy Jones is a great fighter but on the all-time great scale he won't rank real high. He's fast hands and tremendous reflexes will put him up their with the greats but the truely all-time greats will rank ahead of him always.

Oh shut the **** up.
Stop crying over RJJ.
He deserved everything that has happened to him recently and a hell of a lot more.
Nothing he did was ever appreciated by me.

Seriously, how can you type with RJJ's **** in your mouth?

While there have always been so much Jones-bashing, it cannot really be said that Roy was not appreciated. The money he has raked in over the years from boxing and direct residuals could not have all come from people who don't respect him.

I always thought Roy Jones was a great fighter and I still do. He is kind of like a Bernard Hopkins who picked a weight and stayed there beating all challengers for years. Roy only decided to really challenge himself a couple years ago when he moved up and fought Ruiz. I think its just his time. Too bad for him and his fans, he had to find out it was his time to go the hard way.

This is incorrect.
Roy Jones stared his career, in '89 at 154.
He beat Hopkins in '93, at 160.....Toney in '94, at 168....then he went up & beat a # of lt. heavies from late '96 until he fought Tarver this year.

Roy Jones has moved up & been very successful throughout his entire career.
