Was Roy Jones a coward for not defending his title against Lennox Lewis?

Why are you that concern?

huh? this is the internet, a place for debate, discussion, no?

roy jones approached lewis face to face to talk about their fight, lewis told him he was gonna retire, roy announced this during an interview with jim lampley some time before it actually became official and lewis retired

Ruiz was a HW champ. Margarito has never been ranked as a top ten JMW. To make matters worse it was at 150.

Jones' HW strap > Pacquiao's JMW strap and it ain't close.

Maybe Jones' strap > Pac's strap if such a thing is measurable, but I'm not sure Jones had the better win.

Jones was a heavyweight BELT HOLDER. Just like Manny is a 8 time BELT HOLDER. Ur not a champ until u defend it.

Let me get this straight. Roy Jones Jr 200lbs maximum vs. 250lb Lennox Lewis. 50lbs is a lot to overcome no matter how fast you are. What happened to him fighting Holyfield is my question. I remember Jones really wanted that fight. What happened?

No!!! You dont need to be whining on here, We already have hundreds of articles that defends Pac from the media, Its like you dont want anything negative to be said about Pac, Do you make this same threads about other boxers? Do you go to this length to defend them? Nah..

You obviously haven't seen my bernard hopkins threads have you?

You're getting me all wrong comrade, it's not that people are being negative about pac, I don't care about that there is negativity surrounding pac all the time, my point is that it is an illogical argument that is being made. The same holds true for Floyd - if people start demanding floyd fights martinez and label him as a ducker for not wanting to fight martinez at 154, the same applies.
