roy jones should have retired while he was ahead

[bsrizpac]

Okay, first of all - scrap all the Hatton talk. He AIN'T my boy. Just because I'm saying that Floyd is overhyped and undermatched does not automatically mean I'm saying that Hatton is a P4P great with a peerless resume. You know how you don't have to like every fighter on the face of the planet just because they're an American? It works that way here too. A little less perjorative prejudice if you please.

As for Floyd's competition, you have to go back FOUR YEARS for his last serious challenge. No, I don't consider a bizarrely overrated Zab Judah (who did better than expected, and had five rounds on my card) to be a great operator. This is the thing that bugs me about people like Floyd and Roy... they have the god-given talent to take on anyone, but they choose to go through the Sharmba Mitchells and Arturo Gattis of this world. I like both, but in terms of a meaningful career it's like they're throwing it all away...

So which fighters do you think have faced serious competition?

If Castillo, Corrales, Hernandez aren't good competition (even four years ago) then who is?

Who is the fighter who's faced great competition day in and day out according to you?

Jones will be respected.

Ray Robinson lost 5 of his last 11-doensnt change how people view him.

[Mike Tyson Jr.]

No.

And I don't believe you for a second. Most people in school don't even know who Roy Jones is. If they truly laugh then that's too bad for em. They know nothing of RJJ in his prime.

many people my age know
who jones is because he
was invloved with the hip hip
community. i'm tellin you
people laugh when you mention his
name. the rapper fat joe even
clowned him in a rap song.
the mention of roy jones brings
up much laffter to people.

Fat JOE?? Hah. Roy punked Fat Joe about that, and almost made his fat ass 'lean back'. Fat Joe is a sloth of a man with no place discussing anyone in the boxing world. He'd lose to butterbean. When Roy confronted Joe about the song, you know what Joe did?

Apologized.

I assure you the mention of Roy only brings laughter to those who were never too bright to begin with.

You can believe what you want. That's not what happened at all. We already have threads on this issue.

Who cares? Hip hop stars are all talk and no substance. In other words...

Moving on.

in OTHER WORDS GO SUCK FAT JOE. I ain't even a Roy Jones fan but I know whay he showed us in the ring was special. People only have a few year s in their prime, and many people, even the greatest of great fighters falls of their horse. Ali is half ******ed now cuz he kept fighting way past his prime. And we call him "the Greatest". Roy will always be remembered as a special type of fighter than was rare to have wtinessed.


Fat Joe would crap his fat pants if Roy ever punched him the stomach. **** your Hip Hop community. So if it is in the hip hop community it is credible?

People who laugh at Roy in yoru school are too young to have marvouled at his unbelieveable speed and skills in his prime.

I swear he punched so fast it was like nothing amnyone had ever seen before.

You and you Hip Hop community hold no bearing in any circles of importance. Fat Joe and the likes are just a bunch of poser gangsters singers that make money off people like you who think these guys have a clue what's going on.

oh yeah? i guarantee roy jones
wouldnt say jack **** to fat joe to his face.
that why fat joe punked his ass\in that
song. fat joe got mafia connections

[DiegoFuego]

I'll never deny Roy's ability, but I will always deny his self-proclaimed status as one of the greatest fighters ever. He stepped it up too late. Nowhere near it, Roy.
