This would of been awesome, but Mr Jones ****ed it up..

[SliqueJab]

ROy Jones never fought anybody?, rudy are you another idiot. Roy Jones have beaten Lights out Toney and Hopkins. Are you gonna tell me Barkley and McClellan is better fighter than those two? Barkley is just another slugger, a good one but overall a decent fighter while McClellan could have been great but he did not. Hopkins and Toney are two of the nest boxers in this generation and Roy Jones beat them and they were not over the hill. If JuyJuy gonna make excuses like Benn was not the same post McClellan fight, well so does Roy Jones.

RJJ was a fraud in terms of his opposition ( purposefully so) and it will be increasingly difficult to defend him as time goes by.

[SliqueJab]

I don't think he was fraud or anything, he just took less risky fights. Remember he had paid his dues beating Hopkins and Toney before he went to safety mode. If you gonna belive Benn was not the same after McClellan fight then so doe Roy Jones. If you gonna call somebody a fraud then start with Dariusz. That dude never had a career defining win that's why crtics are heavy on him.

[Super Cruiserweight]

Yeah it's just a shame that Jones couldn't beat McClellan to the punch when McClellan beat him soundly at the 88 Golden Gloves.

Juyjuy always brings up this Gman beats Roy bull **** but ive heard seen it newhere apart frm Juyjuys posts, if it is true (which its prolly not) then atleast back it up wiv proof , i just dont see how the jones of the 88 olympics can be beaten an if he did lose to gerry mac it couldnt of been 88 musta been when they were 13 or sumthing

[MrUnstoppable]

Tell me what in here is "propaganda" Mr Uneducable? Are you going to deny that Rochigiani was awarded 30$ million dollars in damages for being illegally stripped of the WBC Lt Heavyweight title and it was awarded to Jones in an eliminator? Are you going to deny that Michalczewski was stripped of the IBF in the same way Rochgiani was the WBC and awarded to Jones in an eliminator bout. ARe you going to deny that Michalczewski was stripped of the WBA merely for holding it at the same time with the WBO. ARe you going to try to explain to me why Jones gave up the IBF 160 lbs title to avoid fighting Nigel Benn? Are you going to attempt any counter argument at all or merely just label what are facts as "propaganda." . Is this how youdefine "propaganda". Which US TV network do you work for? Is it Fox News or Cnn? Get your f***Ing head out of your ass, and wake up. QUit being such a pitifull ignorant ballsucking b*tch. And admit at least to yourself that Roy Jones is the biggest f***ing Paper Champion ever.

You can kiss my ass. You talk a lot of **** on a message board but I guarantee you'd crawfish in real life. Pu$$y.

I've had this argument way too many times on this board. Darius, Benn, Rochigiani...none of them deserve to be mentioned in the same breath as Jones. Everything you guys spew is biased propaganda that is only backed up by heresay. NOTHING MENTIONED IS BASED ON FACT! You can't back up **** you say with any factual evidence. What fighters say in interviews is not fact. All you have is opinion.

Ya'll better stop running you mouths about the 'roids unless you have legitamite proof. It's easy to say "roids" all day long but no one here knows the facts. Can't say a damn thing without proof. Nobody here has that so I guess you all should just STFU! If Roy actually visited this board and felt the need to do so, message boards are not immune from the law and that includes libel and slander.

Jones was the greatest fighter of the generation and there isn't a damn thing you can do about it. You guys can whine and cry and bring out your little interviews and all your excuses but you can't change history. History will show Jones to be one of the greatest to ever lace up the gloves regardless of what a waste of ***** has to say.

Later on in 1988, at the National Golden Gloves, Roy won his first three matches. The first one was a decision over Thomas Tate. He also scored a 3rd. round stoppage over defending National 165 pound Champion and Future NABF Champion Fabian Williams. Those victories set up a fight that someone should have taped for obvious reasons. The semifinal match was Roy Jones taking on Gerald McClellan. Gerald won the US nationals in 1987 with an impressive final victory over USA favourite Tim Littles, Gerald was awesome but so was Roy, Roy had won the last two Golden Gloves! This was Gerald's Golden Gloves debut. You would expect this fight to be very exciting. It was more than that. It was a WAR. One of the greatest examples of speed and power that I have seen in an amateur Boxing match. I remember that Roy was forced back to the ropes often in the fight but that's what made the fight so thrilling was the way Roy would FURIOUSLY fight off the ropes with flurries. It was like watching two Olympic athletes fight for the Gold Medal or two guys going for the world professional championship.

Omaha World-Herald: "Two 1987 Champs, 156 pounder Roy L. Jones of Knoxville and 132 pound Donald Stokes of Louisiana, were eliminated last night.

Gerald McClellan of Milwaukee crowded Jones most of the first two rounds in pounding out a decision triumph. The 156 pound McClellan was there to slug with Jones from the opening bell, and carried the first round. Jones spent a lot of that time along the ropes.

Jones showed some movement in a fairly close second and then scored well in the early part of the third. McClellan was stronger at the finish when he again pounded Jones along the ropes and in a corner."

I saw Gerald a month later at Sugar Ray's training Camp in Maryland and he told me he wouldn't be able to spar for a while longer because his jaw was still hurting from the fight with Roy

That's from Iceman John Scully's book, a chapter was printed on ********boxing.com.



Also..

One year later in the National Golden Gloves in Omaha, Nebraska I saw Roy attempt to win his third straight National Golden Gloves title. He beat Thomas Tate by decision early in the tournament and stopped Future NABF Champ Fabian Williams later on. But it was his fourth fight of the week that caught everybody's attention. Too bad nobody filmed it because it was a WAR. I was getting ready to go into a different ring in a few minutes (there are three fights going at once at a National tournament) but the fight between Roy and Gerald McClellan was so exciting I hardly had time to warm up. I remember Roy being backed to the ropes a lot during the fight but he would fight off hard with furious flurries. Gerald was strong too, though, and would retaliate the same way. Nice flurries and combinations of hard punches for all three rounds. It was like a professional fight. Those two together was like a world class professional match. The decision was a close one and hard to call but, in the end, Gerald won the decision that would end up as the greatest victory of his amateur career. The fight was tough for Gerald, though, so much so that a month later in camp with Sugar Ray Leonard, he wasn't sparring yet because his jaw was still sore from the fight with Roy
