Do You Feel Roy Jones Jr Carefully Selected Opponents In His Prime?

[Reloaded]

They all do and they all always will .

When your on top lots of elements determine who you fight , you gotta think past the macho thing , when your coming up you want the fastest road to the money , and thats with the top guys , then its like a game of poker because the money goes if you lose , so its a constant juggle between fighter , manager , trainer , promoter to get the elements going right so you can please the paying public , keep winning , and then , when those two are right you make big money and thats why they in the sport to make money , they dont give a **** about fans " really" , to a fighter fans are just the partner you got to have to be successful .

RJJ was on that HBO welfare for a long time especially @ lt HW

A policeman, sanitation worker, substitute teacher, etc.. All while in his prime and under a lucrative HBO contract. I'd say YES. Roy was the man in his day, but he took on a few too many soft opponents while in his prime.

Hopkins in 93 meant nothing

I feel that Roy ducked Terry Norris at middleweight when Terry was willing to move up to 160. It would have been great to see Roy fight Gerald McClellan, Nigel Benn and Chris Eubanks. It would have been a big fight between Roy and James Toney after Toney beat Holyfield. Roy and Holyfield would have been big.So yeah, Roy most definitely hand picked his opponents in his prime. I honestly believe thats why he's still fighting now. He knows his career was shady, now he's trying to make up for it, but its way too late. I also think he's having money issues.
