Is Roy planning to fight on or is he done? I haven't heard a peep from Roy since the fight with Green. I was hoping one of you guys would have some info.

He's been claiming green cheated, illegal hand wraps, and that the blow that stopped him was illegal

The guy is delusional and needs to retire

I guess Green hit him harder than we thought.

Serious? I have tried to like this cunt but he just seems to make me hate him more & more.

Well Roy was always a piece of shit. Fuck him & fuck his mother. Hey fuckhead the fight would not have been stopped if you returned fire you chicken hearted chinless cunt. Go back to playing with the cocks like you always have Roy.

Put a sock in it Steve...

Put a sock in it Steve...

Agreed. Anyone who calls Roy heartless is blind. I think the man has too much heart for his own good.

Are you serious? I can maybe accept if someone says that it's bullshit saying his heartless, but to then go to the other extreme and say he has "too much heart for his own good" is going way too far. I think that is further off the mark than saying he has absolutely no heart.

Myself and everyone saw the 3rd Tarver fight. This is not the face of a guy who has "too much heart for his own good"



In that fight, half way through the fight was probably dead even. Jones folded and instead of trying to win the fight, he just tried to survive the fight. He fought it as if lasting 12 rounds was a victory in itself for him.

First of all...most men who step into the ring and put their life on the line have heart.

Secondly...Jones has proven in his career he has tremendous heart time and time again. I'm not a Roy fan, but I can give credit where it is do. Jones has attempted to pull himself from the canvas when it was probably best to just stay there.It irritates me when the fans of the sport call these fighters heartless and try to analyze why they think that. It's ignorance.

I see you are another one of those guys who think anyone that steps into the ring makes them have heart. Yeah compared to the average Joe they have heart for stepping into the ring. But please compare them to their peers, with guys like Gatti being the benchmark for heart. When you have guys like that, I'm sorry that description you gave doesn't fit Jones. So Golota and Ortiz have heart as well I suppose according to you.
I'm sorry, when I think of fighters who have too much heart for there own good. I think of guys like Gatti, Morales, Holyfield, Mosley and Hagler. I'm sorry, Jones does not belong in the same league as them and not even remotely close. It's actually an insult to fighters like these to say Jones has "too much heart for his own good". If that's the case, what the hell do you say about the other guys?
Like I said, I could accept if you just told someone that it's bullshit to say Jones is heartless, but please don't ever describe him as if he was a warrior.

I personally agree that Jones does have too much heart sometimes. If u know anything about boxing when Roy went up to heavyweight and then tried to shed all of that weight back down just to fight Tarver, that was pure HEART.

I think people here are confusing "ego" with "heart" when it comes to Roy Jones.

If u know anything about boxing when Roy went up to heavyweight and then tried to shed all of that weight back down just to fight Tarver, that was pure HEART. That was the biggest mistake of Roy's career because you lose strength when you do that, plus he sat in the steam room for 8 hrs a day to lose weight and train at the same time. If u saw Chris Byrd's first fight back to light heavyweight from heavyweight a couple years ago you would see what im talking about or better yet when Tarver fought Hopkins after Tarver gained all of that weight for the Rocky movie. What did Byrd and Tarver have in common? They both looked slow and weak, so give Roy a break man.

As funny as it sounds Roy showed heart in all of his KO losses by his attempt to get back up. LOL

To say Ro is heartless is way off.

We must have different definitions of heart. What Roy did is stupidity not a show of heart.

Heart is Gatti battered bleeding & crying but still begging to be allowed to fight.

Heart is Marquez climbing off the canvas 3 times in the first round to go the distance with Pac.

Heart is what Corrales & Castillo showed in their first fight.

Roy has not & never will show heart like that because he is not capable of doing so.

Just how many human beings would you enjoy seeing permanently disabled, tough guy?

Your definition of heart is pretty warped.

Come on, when you think of fighters with great heart, Roy Jones doesn't spring to mind. I'm not a hater either, Jones was pure brilliance at one time, in my eyes, but his heart was never an attribute to brag about. His heart was never tested at his best and since his obvious decline, his fragile chin has negated the need for his heart to be a factor in any of his latter fights.

The comments Jones has made about Green's 'illegal' handwraps, further lowers my ever declining opinion of the man. He got spanked.

If he had any heart, any balls, any decency, he'd hold his hands up and admit, "I was surprised by Green, he got me, and he got me good."

OK, he hasn't gotten the backing from the majority of Americans on here for his bullshit claims about handwraps and the country he was boxing in, but it gets sickening, and fuckin' pathetic, the way Americans blame defeats on the basis that they were boxing abroad.

It's a global sport, America is losing its grip and that is life. Suck it up Roy. You're faded and right now I don't see any dominant American out there.

Shit is changing.

Ok what about when Roy fought Tarver in that first fight and CLEARLY didnt have the stamina or strength to compete like he normally does and still pulled off a victory. That was the worse Roy ever looked and still won, and if u followed roy's career u would know he has always been one of the most well conditioned fighters out there. he stood in there and took a beating against (well alot of the shots were hitting his arms) the ropes all night long. Even more than that he went up to heavyweight to fight a guy who was 20 lbs heavier than he was and coulda probably got knock out by a jab. say what u want about John Ruiz but that takes alot of heart to fight a heavyweight especially when u came from starting ur career at 158. He also just got done fighting Calzaghe half of the fight with blood pouring in his eye and chose not to quit. I can go on and on cause i've seen every single Roy Jones fight.

LMAO at Stevenski...junior haters, study his posts and one day you may be able to hate as well as the master.


On the real though, Roy has never been a 'blood n guts' type fighter, like Gatti, Holyfield or Corrales. He's never going to display heart in the way they did, but I'm not gonna say he's a chicken, either.

A chicken would have quit after the Tarver-Johnson fights, not come back for more punishment when it's clear you don't have it. And although Roy gave up winning the third Tarver fight, I actually thought he showed guts to come through the tenth round.


But I agree that Roy is not a guy you'd credit with being 'brave' or 'tough' in the ring, not compared to the names above, any way, the same as whilst Gatti is skillful, you'd never say he's got more skill than RJ Jr.




Black

That said, I cannot think of any fighter that I would like to see disabled, including PBF. I think that Floyd is in your head. I don't especially like him but I respect the fact that he lives life on his own terms, which cannot be said for most of us.

After 6 rounds, the fight was in the balance and Jones had all the momentum and in a poisition to win. After that, he literally stopped everything he was doing. He wasn't even hurt at any point up until then for him to go in a shell. He was in his most defining fight of his career and possibly the most important. He went into a shell, and just went on to survive and lose a decision rather than go out on his shield, dig deep and try and win it. He was in a winnable position half way through and he LITERALLY gave it away.

Cry me a river. Roy is so brave Roy is so strong & handsome & he is a damm fine rapper too. I am sure you have seen every one of Roy's fights too many times.

How about a reality check. Roy was a opportunist of the first order & rather than take on the true recognised champion at the time he chose a weak psuedo champion in Ruiz. Got the W & then left the division when the real champion called his punk ass out for a whipping he sorely deserved.

I do actually give him credit for finishing the Calzaghe fight but I think that had more to do with the fact that Calzaghe is such a total fraud & poor finisher rather than anything Roy actually did.

Getting back up is not a good definition to prove someone has "too much heart for their own good".
To say Roy is heartless could be off, but to make it out as if he is a warrior is off as well.

Hey hey Fitz you must remember he threw that fight away on purpose because he didn't want his dad to get all the credit.

By the way Ruiz did beat James Toney during that time so he wasnt a bum.

Who said that he was a warrior? I said Roy was NOT heartless. Roy had heart. But for most of his career he really didn't have to display his heart.

I was referring to xxxx. He said Jones "has too much heart for his own good", which is another way of describing him as a warrior. He wasn't.

A number if I am honest. Most not fighters admittedly but really there is only one fighter I want to see permanatly disabled & that is Mayweather if I am really honest. There are a number I would like to see get beaten to a pulp but it is only Mayweather I really want to see bleeding from the ear & being strapped to a gurney with his kids screaming & Ellerbe crying knowing his meal ticket will be in a wheelchair.This is not some lighthearted banter this is real undisguised hate & perhaps people would be better if they let theirs out a bit instead of bottling it up.

Ellerbe would still be massaging his chest with lust in his eyes.

I'm kinda leaning toward him getting stabbed in his larynx. Then he wouldnt be able to talk or better yet, he'd have to use an electronic voice box that would make me laugh.

Thats the spirit Keith.

And you're the one that likes getting sucked off by a leech.

Taking away Woods' and Witter's BEATINGS from our up and coming C Team talent, you have....


1. Calzaghe retiring, his so called "Legacy" gets exposed.

2. Hatton getting annihilated AGAIN, reaches Joke Status.

3. Froch gets Home Country Gift of The Year, looks to be on his last legs. I thought Cobras struck quickly with precision...

4. Khan's glass ass bein' protected....surprise, surprise.

5. Haye bein' a PUNK....and for the record....IF he ever lets his balls drop out of his body and fights The Klits, he will surely die.
