Was roy jones a paper champ?

[marvdave]

Why? Because Wlad is a glass chinned fraud just like Roy Jones Jr.

i'll give it to you..that was funny

Roy Jones has proven himself over many years. He was "exposed" at the age of 35 after 15 years of Boxing at a championship level. Wlad has proven nothing except that he has a very loyal fan base.

RJJ wasn't "exposed". So his chin isn't the best, but that doesn't make it glass. You can't suddenly take away thos 15 years of acomplishments cuz he got caught with a couple of well placed shots on the jaw and temple.

By the way, 15 years is a damn long time to keep a secret. Tells you something about the man's skills.

i think your arguing with the wrong guy. I was referring to someone else's description of Jones when usuing the term "exposed"...hence the quote marks.

Jones is a horses' ass, but I always give him his credit.

[Clay AikSkins]

He was a great fighter.....such a shame no one came along in his prime to challenge him...

Shouldn't RJJ have had to fight for the belt by beating Rocchigiani? Like I've been saying it wasn't lost, it was stolen.

The Rocchigiani thing, was a thing between the WBC and Rocchigiani. In regard to the paper champ claim: It was Jones belt to begin with! (and no way you can count the wbc belt into DM collection, since Rocchigiani did not have the belt 10 months prior to the fight (the belt that Jones had before Rocchigiani, the one Jones did not loose in a fight, and was vacanted to come into the hands of Rocchigiani))

As I wrote before:

Roy Jones WON the major titles (WBC, IBF, WBA). That some people (or their management) are too clumsie to hold on the belts they won is NOT Jones fault!

Jones won all of the belts by beating the holder of the belt:
- WBC: Mike McCallum
- WBA: Lou Del Valle
- IBF: Reggie Johnson

(Nunn and Rocchigiani fought for jones' WBC belt, that was temperarely away from jones, and in this process Rocchigiani was seriously wronged by the WBC).

So jones is not a paper champ!

[WidowTaker40]

He beat Reggie Johnson, Telesco, Gonzalez and lastly John Ruiz. Jones WAS the best light heavy, however he no longer is obviously.

Roy Jones is a midget. God only knows how how all these titles. Just shows how weak some of his opponants were.

Perhaps or maybe its because unlike Wlad, he is quick, he didn't fight the hardest hitters at LHW, SMW, and MW like Julian Jackson, Nigel Benn, Gerald McClellan, and Dariusz Michalczewski, and he only fought once at heavyweight.

Sorry but accepting stolen belts without fighting for them is something that a paper champ does.

I prefer WiDDoW MaKeR.
