Nothing Rjj Did Was Ever Appreciated??

[Dr Cynical]

Cynical you are an idiot.

Nope.
Just someone who has never bought into the RJJ bull**** machine.

if only you would quit with all the rubbish you have been spilling about Jones, we respect an opinion but do you have to force yours on other people with such obnoxiousness?
some of us value Jones and like him as a fighter and as a man, respect our opinions and shut up.

I can see as how you would value Jones as a fighter, but how someone can possibly value this guy as man is just flat out dumb.

[Cleary23]

why cant we value him as a man either.

He stay quiet on his ranch most of the time and hes flamboyant in interviews. The first thing that I liked about Roy when i seen him was his showmanship. He made boxing entertaining.

You ****in Roy haters are relentless. You act like people who like Roy only like Roy. That isnt true I like lots of fighters inclduing Tarver. Roy haters are a waste of time and they jus love disagreeing you sound like ****in two year olds.

So what would you think about a fighter who is supposed to be a non biased commentator for HBO who makes comments like these when a fighter gets upset and loses. Let's just say that someone on HBO said this after RJJ got KTFO by soft hitting Glen Johnson.

"Its not so much of his chin as it is his heart though. He's like a dog that can't fight from the bottom. Nope he did not (ever have heart), because he never had it, its just that he was so big that you never got the chance to see him fight from the downside...Probably it (retiring) would be a good idea for him to because he's only a six round fighter and only Butterbean can really handle that...They cannot take what they dish out." Talk about kicking someone when he is down.

Are you people a real boxing FAN?

You can love him or hate him . . . but one thing sure this guy has skills and he has contributed to this sports . . . so give him the credit that is rightfully his.

Why do you find pleasure on pulling a FIGHTER down when he is already down?

Wake up brothers . . . don't get caught in your HATRED.

Maybe you should ask RJJ that exact same question.

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!!

I never actually responded to this so here it goes. RJJ v. Griffin I was 77-75, 76-75, and 75-76 before RJJ felt the need to be cheap and hit Griffin when he was down. Being behind on 1 scorecard and 1 and 2 points up on the other two is hardly demolishing an opponent. Who exactly did he beat at light heavyweight? A ruined Hill, a nearly 40 year old McCallum, and an injured Harding. Fighting the weakest of 4 heavyweight champions especially when the heavyweight doesn't do what he normally does is hardly an accomplishment either. RJJ could have gained a lot more respect had he fought one of the other belt holders which were Wlad, Lewis, and Byrd. I wonder why he chose Ruiz? Yes Roy was the best fighter at lower weightclasses, ie middleweight and super middleweight, but he was hardly the best light heavyweight of the past decade. I'm really interested in knowing exactly who RJJ beat at light heavyweight that made him such a great fighter. Please tell me.

The cheap shot was a freaking love tap my mother could of took,Griffin took the easy way out and stayed down, you seem to forget Jones destroyed Griffin in the rematch, freaking near launched him out of the ring with a bazzillion punch flurry.
Fighters have big ego's but I imagine when you have everything, have made more money than my entire linneage has it takes an ego to get in the ring.

That's what Roy did on Wlad ! Nonetheless, we still appreciate Roy for defeating Hopkins and Toney.
