Was roy jones a paper champ?

[Neuraxis]

I am not saying DM isn't a good fighter - he is good, but he also has had the benefit of not having to face many of the top fighters outside his own country, even his home state if you will. He has almost always had the "homecourt" advantage throughout his career. In essence, he has had a very good promoter who knew how to keep his fighters' record in tact - and that included talking about Roy Jones, but not getting in the ring with him, even in a nuetral country...

DM is Polish not German.

Wrong

After what happened to Roy at the Olympics, would you go to DM's hometown and look to get a decision? Besides, Roy was the Champ, not DM. Roy offered to fight DM in a nuetral country but DM refused.

DM was the champ, roy was the fabricated champ. Look into it before you post nonsense. And if roy wanted to become a true champ he would have fought DM.

would you go to DM's hometown and look to get a decision

Well if roy would destroy DM like you said, he wouldnt have to worry

Looks like Roy is the Champ to me, show me a belt from a Linier Champ - I suggest you quit with the B.S. and admit Roy was a much better fighter than DM ever was. Who was the P4P king - it sure wasn't DM, who was the man who held the belts - again it wasn't DM....

O.K. - who said anything about him being German?

Roy Jones can beat DM anytime during his prime, man. His mistake was he was too greedy by going back down to LH division and we all know what happened.

You said he had homecourt advantage throughout his career even though he fought in Germany and he was Polish.

What would you have rather had him do? I'm guessing it isn't having his mandatory Vitali kill him.

Let me get this straight

Looks like Roy is the Champ to me, show me a belt from a Linier Champ - I suggest you quit with the B.S. and admit Roy was a much better fighter than DM ever was. Who was the P4P king - it sure wasn't DM, who was the man who held the belts - again it wasn't DM....

If you get a belt without beating a champion, that means you are the champ? And again if roy would have destroyed DM why not fight him? You have not given me 1 valid reason, all you did is post a pic of roy and his bought championships.

roy jones was an unbleievebale fighter in his prime, he was never a paper champ

papa420,

Just come up with 1 part of DM's arsenal that was better than Roy Jones - you can't do it so don't bother.

Roy was faster all the way around, faster hands, faster footwork, even his head movement - you just couldn't hit the guy.

DM has some power - sure

Roy knocked a guy out with a left handed punch that came from behind his back! One shot - ****, goodnight, that's speed and power.

DM gets hit - alot.

Roy didn't - at least not in his prime

Roy was a much better fighter, and he would have had target practice against Darius, just as he did with so many others. Darius would have been unable to land on Jones and at the time neither could anyone else.

Why did Ring Mag have Jones as the top dog? - Because he was the top dog....
