View Full Version : Was he one of the greatest? Arminius 10-09-2005, 01:55 AM I dunno about the UK heads, but for my Americans who watch boxing what are yout thoughts on Roy Jones Jr. Do you think he deserves to be placed among some of the best fighters? What were your thoughts on Jones Vs. Tarver III? Do you think it is now time to hang up the gloves? I just want to know what others think about Jones. Vokals 10-09-2005, 02:09 AM no.. b.c he looked like shit in all of his losses and he had a free fall like crazy.. same as tyson.. he woulda been.. but he just didnt know when to quit.. all they are in it for is the money Arminius 10-09-2005, 02:16 AM all they are in it for is the money I'll co sign with that one, but arent all athletes just in it for the money? Vokals 10-09-2005, 02:18 AM not all, there's alot of people that will take that pay cut... ie shaq took a huge one.. alot of others in the nfl do.... but the greedy ones outweigh the generous ones alot of people would pay just to have that one day on the field to play again.. whether its pros, college or back in high school.. just to have that chance Arminius 10-09-2005, 02:21 AM alot of people would pay just to have that one day on the field to play again.. whether its pros, college or back in high school.. just to have that chance Yea I wish I could go back to high school football. Those were the fun days...Anyway I just forgot about Shaq...Even look at Elway back in the ladder days of the Broncos. But it's like you said the bad outweigh the good. Yur Worst Enemy 10-09-2005, 08:52 AM Jones said he was gonna hang it up now. At least he didnt get knocked out this time though. I respect him. He is one of the greatest because he was undefeated in his prime. He lost his last 3 fights but he's smart enough to know that it's time to stop. He doesn't wanna be like a Jordan, or Ali, or one of those guys :mad: The*Realness 10-09-2005, 12:18 PM Jones at his prime is one of the statistical best ever, but its clear he hasnt fought enough great people and won to categorize him as one of the greatest. he went out and tried out for the nba, made rap albums, and fucked around everywehre else besides training for the actual sport he plays, so fuck him he doesnt deserve shit. i do admit at 1 time he was incredible and i didnt think he was ever gonna lose Ender 10-10-2005, 05:22 AM Even thogh he lost his last three fights...he still has to be considerd one of the greatest Arminius 10-10-2005, 01:27 PM Yea but did yall see the way he got layed down the last couple of times...Talk about 'fall back' C-Kret-C 10-10-2005, 01:42 PM yup tarver almost fellout of the ring i would have busted my ass laughing if he did |
