Roy Jones' Greatest Excuses!!

[italianmafia23]

Are you serious. Hmmmm, how about Corrales after his loss to PBF then Casamayor had a tremendous run with wins over Casa, Castillo and Freitas and made it back on to many peoples p4p list. .

How about Duran after losses to SRL and Benitez won a few good fights and put himself back towards the top. He then lost to Hearns and Hagler but made it back to the top again and beat Iran Barkley.

Winky Wright after losing to Vargas. Went and became a p4p after that loss.

Barrera had a few ups and downs in his career.

So before you call a great fighter ****** why dont you look sit down and think about what you write.

Don't forget Foreman before winning the Heavyweight title at age 45. Or Evander Holyfield. How about Bernard Hopkins after losing his first fight? Oscar De La Hoya after Trinidad and Mosley. Shane Mosley after Forrest and Wright. Vernon Forrest has had a rocky career as well. How about Ricardo Mayorga after losing 3 out of his first 11 professional fights, losing his first fight by TKO in the 6th... Up and down careers are nothing new to boxing. Losing isn't necessarily an indefinate indication of decline.

Since when do fighters have up and down careers? The only example I can think of is Mosley who was down from 2002-2005 basically and is now on top again. Other than that, fighters don't just rebuild themselves. They suffer 3-4 rushing losses in a row and they are usually done.

fighters do have up and downs for example Baldomir with 19L, Ali, Bradrock (the cinderalla man), Roberto Duran

anyway in boxing when you are down people dont want to see you anymore and that is the nature of the sport one bad night could spoil the whole career

but Roy Jones was unbeatable long time ago but know he with his 60% speed and he is still fast for some

[Diablo]

Jones was great but the 3rd Tarver fight changed the way I view him. I have always been a Roy fan up until that night. The comments he made after the fight made me sick to my stomach.

I was so pumped for the fight since I truely dislike Tarver and wanted to see Roy shut his mouth. So the whole month prior it was all I talked about at work and with friends. I invited a bunch of them over to my house that night(majority of them didn't know a lick about boxing) and I was feeding them info. about how they could see one of the most talented boxers ever for probably the last time. After the fight let's just say I was pretty embarassed and pissed off.
