51. Fight Antonio Tarver, Tarver landed one jab in the first round and landed a lucky punch with his eyes closed in the second wow

52. Fight Antonio Tarver well you can’t win a fight if you throw just 8 punches in some rounds, don’t get what happened there to Roy .

As you can see, many of them were champions or still are champions after their roybout.

I don't care if i got something wrong, but i would love to show you, that many of your favourite boxers hadn't better oppositions.

yeah good post, i was thinking of doing one of this myself

for example

julio cesar gonzalez was the first man to beat Dariusz Michalczewski(controversially, but still...), beat glen Johnson(controversial too)and still roy gets no credit for embarassing him...

merqui sosa went 12 competitive rounds with michael nunn, he lasted two rounds with jones

toney gets more credit for beating a competetive mccallum in 1997 than jones for beating him easily in 1996, if anything jones gets dissed for fighting "old as ****" mccallum.

eubank lost when he couldve fought jones in 1995, so Jones wouldve got nothing for beating him(besides eubank never wanted to fight him)

benn chose to fight mclellan while Roy fought Toney, and after the tragic ending, was done,lost to thulani MALINGA(Destroyed by Jones) and clown Steve Collins, has accepted he wouldve got beat by Roy


Collins had already lost to Reggie Johnson and McCallum (both lost to Roy)when he fought shells of theyre former selves Eubank and Benn, then in 1997 they couldnt agree to terms and Collins retires......

nunn... maybe a bad style match up for jones but i think jones wouldve beaten him.........and he wouldnt even get recognition for doing it. seriously he didnt NEED to fight, and no one really demanded that fight at the time it couldve meant something...

Dariusz didnt want to fight Jones(maybe Jones didnt want to fight him too, a legitimate threat for him as Dariusz was a big strong light heavy...)

so really i think the jones haters just bring this names up because they cant resist the idea that Jones was so good

I read your post, my comments werent to your post it was to the alot of the responces this thread was getting

Then im sorry

[Xcel]

Where were these fighters in relation to Jones career at the time? Its like Saying Jones didnt fight Floyd.

[McNulty]

Jones was offered fights with every single one of those guys and turned them all down. He defended his titles against some real **** opposition who had no place sharing the same ring as him. And when people said he was 'greater than Sugar Ray Robinson' for beating Richard Hall it was a kick in the teeth for boxing.

Eubanks was old and would have been a a brutal beating. Michalczewski actually turned down RJJ after seeing him fight. Do the research. I loved Julian but he had a bum chin and we know what would have happened there. Calzaghe priced himself out. Whos he to git all the money?

theres alot of other things going on that alot of poeple dont know about and ya cant blame RJJ for it.

Alot of guys fought some **** fighters...doesnt make them any les of a great. SRR fought alot of bums too but look @ his record...174 wins and like 120+ KO's.
