Nothing Rjj Did Was Ever Appreciated??

[jack_the_rippuh]

Whether you like Roy Jones or you hate him, we can all agree on one thing...he's finished. So can we leave it at that? Moving on.....

I predict Tyson will clean the division ...

You are being sarcastic, I hope.

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.

My bad. What i meant was he choose to stay at light heavy and dominate that division. Similar to Hopkins dominating the middles.

He stayed at 175 for a very long time. He unified part of the crown (against Regiie Johnson).
He made a ****load of defenses there, also.

Listen....I've never been a "fan" of Roy. A lot of what he did was a turn-off....but I refuse to listen to people knock how good he was or what he accomplished.

Be objective, people.

[guru]

despite his accomplishments and talents, i cant put him in the same league as leonard, hagler, duran, hearns and to a certain extent hopkins, a man he beat....

[bmoney]

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?

Cynical you are an idiot.

[lapulapu]

Hey, the fans really appreciated RJJ. Who made him rich anyway?

Its the paying fans. RJJ got so much money, he just wants to sing. So appreciate his singing!!!!!

We all gave him credit when he beat the weakest heavyweight title holder of the 3 in John Ruiz for the WBA title. We also gave him mad credit for getting ko'ed by a longshot underdog and giving me a $175 payout for my skepticism. Roy Jones simply hasn't done anything worthy of credit in 10 years, so why now?

Roy got alot of **** done. He was an accomplished middleweight (especially when we look back on his win over HOpkins), probably the best Super Middleweight EVER. And a maybe top 10 all time lightheavy.

All in all, he is a first ballot hall of famer, no way around it.

True, but he will never be the best pound for pound champ. Sugar Ray Robinson gave Lamotta 6 fights, Jones ducked Toney for 10 years. Roy is simply not a great warrior, a great boxer, but no inspirational story. He makes Frank Bruno look like Jake Lamotta.
