    Because I could give 2 ****s about red K? I say what I believe knowing damn well it will get me red k. I knew all the British Lennox fans with a blind loyalty to their phony champion would come out of the woodwork to defend their hero and hit me with red k, and I didn't think twice about red k because I would rather speak the truth and be red than not and be green.

    Believe what you want about Lennox Lewis, those who know boxing and followed his career know the truth about Lennox and he is not what his British followers believe him to be. He is a phony champion who never fought fighters at their best. He waited until they were shot, or outright never fought them - that's the way history will remember him, unlike Roy Jones, who will be remembered as an ATG and arguably a top 20 P4P atg.

    Jones' technique, skills, and overall boxing ability FAR trumps Lennox Lewis.

    And to the idiot that brought up Vitali taking right hands - How can you compare Vitali to Roy? One stands there like Dr. Roboto and moves like the Terminator and the other is an out of this world freakshow of power and speed that the boxing world has never seen before.

    Roy Jones Jr. is far greater than Lennox, will be remembered as such, and has a great chance of knocking Lennox out had they ever fought when Roy was fighting at heavy.

      I can't even imagine what Roy would look like after Lennox landed that huge right hand.
      I take it you never saw either fight.

        roy announced this in an interview with jim lampley ages before lewis himself
        Roy wanted too much for the bout and HBO preferred Byrd. They settled on Tyson but that fell through. Then Holyfield and Jones agreed but Evander pulled out of the scheduled November bout with Jones over a financial dispute with King. And thus...Roy moved back down and fought Tarver.

          Interesting.

          Considering Hatton didn't move for 10 minutes.. and Roy got on his feet by the count of 10.

          But uh.... sure.

            Roy vs Holyfield or Chris Byrd would have been good fights if he would have stayed at HW.

              Dude is always talking out of his ass. I don't even know why he has a neck. Jones was counted out standing UP (barely).

                I agree, Chris Byrd would have been a great matchup for Roy.

                  Holyfield and Thomas had been negotiating for three months to get a bout with Jones, who recently turned his attention to Lewis. Holyfield refused to sign a new agreement with King to make the Jones fight.

                  "Yes, I had the chance to fight for the title, but I'm not going to let someone abuse me," Holyfield said. "I'm not going to sign another contract with Don King and give him options and let him take advantage of me."

                  King is the promoter for Hopkins and Jones, as long as Jones holds the WBA heavyweight title. If Jones decides to ditch the WBA belt and fight Lewis for his WBC title, King will be farther out in the cold.

                    A lot of people sleep on this fact, All i see now is how RJJ ducked so so and so but you tell them to name who RJJ ducked and they cant name one.
