You know when Roy Jones fought all those bums....

[Scott9945]

Jones was scheduled to make his HW debut against James "Buster" Douglas in the summer of 1998. A fight he should've taken. When he pulled out, he returned to LHW and agreed to fight the winner of Nunn-Rochigianni. Rochigianni won. Jones signed to fight him. Rochigianni pulled out of their January 2000 meeting, after disappearing for weeks, to the point where trainer Emmanuel Steward had no idea where he was. Anything else?

So if Rocco did as you claim, how did he win a monster lawsuit against the WBC and get a multimillion dollar settlement from them? That sure sounds like a very generous award to someone who supposedly pulled out and disappeared.

He got it because he deserved it. The belt should've never been stripped from him in the first place. But that's what the lawsuit was for, not Jones ducking him or Nunn. Which is false. And yeah, it was quite a reward but that's life. Rochigianni had serious alcohol issues then. It happens to many.

Well we've gotten past where Roy refused to fight Michael Nunn. Jones always talked about fighting big heavyweights like Lewis, Klitschko, Douglas, and Corrie Sanders. But he never did, and it was just a ruse to avoid Nunn who had a difficult style and was entitled to more money than Roy liked. He wasn't interested in fighting the Roccogianni-Nunn fight until the winner wasn't Nunn.

That's all I have to say about this in this thread. Have a good evening.

Why are people still jumping on Roy? No one on here even talks about the guy anymore. Give his career a rest.

yo it was funny when he fought rick frazier...rick stepped in there, realized where he was and ran for cover...lol...what was even more funny was when merchant said in the postfight interview, 'we bought you junk'...murad muhammad look pissed....lol

Merchant said that? lol
Its fights like that that have harmed his legacy. Frazier, Kelly, those are the guys he should of avoided

He would have been stripped of his title if he didn't fight Frazier.
