    You're the one who needs to bash on Jones because he gets more credit and acclaim in the boxing world than Benn and Eubank.

    I don't see how it gets anymore simple than that.

    I think they're both great fighters, and I'm glad you like them and that they make your world more exciting.

    It doesn't justify al the time and effort you've spent cutting down Jones though.
    Can you shut the **** up for a second? Geoff wasn't even mentioning Benn and Eubank, your dumbass is the only one who thinks he was. He was cutting down Roy Jones because it's his opinion. Just shut up you basement dwelling loser.

      Considering he's going down in boxing history head and shoulders above Eubank, I think he's fine with that.

        Funny how you were arguing with him about it a page back, and are now focused just on me.

        Some things never change.

          No, your brain is just too small to comprehend that not all boxing fans are "spitefull" and full of "non sense bias".

            Your doing it AGAIN.

            Benn and Eubank get no acclaim in American boxing at all, while Jones gets tonnes, you've made your point. It doesn't change the fact that Jones was a major dissappointment who fought pathetic opposition.

            This is not about Benn or Eubank. This about Roy Jones. Read the first post of this thread...

              He's bitter and sour graping because Eubank will not even make it HOF.

                I'm sure he is.

                It doesn't change the fact that he tried to be Eubank, but didn't come close. There was only one Eubank, like it or lump it.

                  You telling anyone a thread isn't about Eubank is quite funny.

                  If you want to continue discussing his opposition, that's fine. It wasn't the best opposition, but it was solid. There were enough names on it, and current or former champions, that when you add that to all the titles in different weight classes you're not left with something that writes off the guy from being an all time great fighter.

                  He was one of the best fighters of his generation, and an all time great. That can't be denied.

                    You don't even know who Eubank is.

                    Really, you have no clue. I'm not wasting my time on idiots who didn't follow boxing back then, or American's.

                      Can you make up your mind?
