Luckily for us.... Ironmike's ranking don't mean much to the Ring.

Even his own network was sick of it, he should of just vacated those belts

(Roy Jones) who continues to take advantage of a contract that allows him to maximize his earning potential while eliminating his risk.
Hey, it's a great gig for Jones, keep collecting these $4 to $5 million licensing fees while taking on the likes of Woods.
Even HBO, which in the past has staunchly defended Jones at all cost, is getting fed up with this racket. They are making no bones about it, Jones-Woods is being aired on their network -- not because they want to, but because they have to.
"Our attitude is we're reluctantly airing it," admits Xavier James of HBO Sports. "The bottom line here is I don't know how Clinton Woods became a top 10 light heavyweight and I prefer not to telecast it. But, contractually, we have very little latitude in that regard. As far as I'm concerned, I'd prefer Roy to fight a more competitive fight."

Yes, that was when he was offered a fight against Jirov and turned it down to fight Woods instead. Pretty bad.

Nunn, Tarver, Harding, anyone would of been better than Frazier

That's when you start to notice, that Merchant and Lampley seem to be much more critical of Jones opponents after that. I remember when I first watched Jones-Woods and I thought damn, Merchant is really ripping into Jones here.

"Stiffs, no hopers, now lets talk about Jones's next opponent"-Merchant

Huh? Are you just throwing names out there? He fought Harding in 2000 when Harding was at his peak. Tarver had like 10 fights when Roy fought Frazier and wasnt even on the radar. Nunn? In 1999? Are you serious? Come on, man you're reaching.

Definitely Fraud Jones Junior.

Yeah...except he fought Ruiz next.

Roy flagrantly ducked Michael Nunn. Not taking his title away for it nearly put the WBC out of business.
