OMG......I can't wait!!!

If he looses and blames the loss on this injury. He looses what little crediblity he has left in my mind.

[Zeroflip1]

Did anyone find out what the problem was with his hand? If its serious he shouldn't risk it.

hmm

Yeah, I read that also. Makes me feel good.

But...what if Roy really is hurt? That's going to affect his training I would think. He did say it was pretty bad. I mean, it's hard to pick Roy to win even IF he is at his best (whatever that is these days) so with the injury, if there is one, man...

I hope to God he isn't hurt. If he is, I sure hope he's got the painkillers to train through it. I'm tired of seeing Roy hurt...just want him healthy. Most people know he was wore out for his recent losses anyway, so if he loses it won't hurt his legacy but legacy isn't the only thing important in life.

Roy making excuses already...

Roy making excuses already...

HE GOT INJURED!!!!Borikua, your a cool poster...c'mon don't be a Roy hater.

[Manny_P]

I'm definitely rootin fo Roy, but ma smart mind tells me Tarver takes tis one. We'll see. Go Jones!

[Super_Lightweight]

hmm

Honestly, brother, as the only press type to speak with Roy Jones Jr. during this "promotion" I'm going to tell you the truth, I believe the chances of the fight happening are 50-50. If Jones isn't at his very best why he should he return from a year off and two consecutive knockout losses to Tarver? The Magic Man will make him disappear for real if he shows up at anything less than 110%. Roy sounded like he wanted to fight, but also sounded like his hand was hurt pretty bad. Our conversation also ended with Jones saying he'd hit me back as soon as he knew if he had to pull out over his hand. Either way, we're going to do our best to get you another update with Jones.

- Greg Leon from **********...that's what he had to say about Roy and his injury, so it is legit. Leon seen it for himself apparently.

And McGay, no one cares what you think of anyone. You are not exactly the poster-child for credibility around here...

Real fans should worry about a fighter's health. If Roy is ****ed up, he should postpone or just retire. He has plenty of money and his legacy is secure. The man ain't fallin off the totem pole just for two losses at the tail-end of his career (Ali, Robinson, etc.)

Your smart mind? The same one that took Morales
