Who Belives Rjj Weight Lost Effected Him!!

Can you say over rated and GLASS JAW. I was so sick of listening to him talk about himself in 3rd person. Hey Roy, can you count to 10? I hope he fights again and gets dropped again!

he'd beat DM much the same way he beat Hops and Toney, with speed and distance, but i think mostly distance if he fought DM, he'd make sure DM was chasing him around the ring like Hagler chased SRL

Except for the fact that Hopkins at 160 lbs and Toney at 168 lbs don't have anywhere near the power that DM had at 190+ lbs.

so power dont mean nothing if you cant catch your opponent.

dm would have had to try everything in the book to find jones, then after tasting his speed and power would have tried to box from the outside and lost by dec.

I was feeling a little sympathy for the guy, and even tried to force a little 'respect' for him onto myself. OKAY, last night before the Mosley fight, did anyone else notice his lack of confidence? I call it that cause he missed NO opportunity to self promote, or to include himself in any way possible. Lampley and Merchant asked him if he thought it was right for the NY athletic commision to deny Holyfield the right to fight anymore, and he said something like "that's the way it is with fighters like us, me and him are both that way", etc... COME ON, nobody mentioned him, or asked him to compare himself to anyone. And he did that several times, in several different ways. It's was sickening and I couldnt help but think that he must be feeling pretty "unsure" about himself if he had to do that so much. It really made him look bad; like he was trying to validate himself or something. I'm use to his arrogance, and his 'self appreciation', but I've never seen him act THAT way! I honestly felt bad for him at first, then I started to get mad about it. He threw himself into the 'mix' when it didnt concern him in any way to the point that it looked so obvious.
I'm sure I just lost alot of 'buddies' in posting that, but I have to speak my mind on this and see if anyone else noticed it. It was shameless self-promoting. The press, etc... had finally stopped shoving him in my face and down my throat, so now he has to do it himself. (DONT HATE me for pointing out the obvious please!!!)

No you dont check out my latest post on the football thread...its important. You and pbds have something to work out, if I'm not mistaken!

Roy kind of stole the show last night, when comparing himself to Mosley saying, "If Roy Jones want to come back (made a noise) he can come back and whup some ass." Something like that...sorry for the misquote..

Not a misquote....very accurate. Just one of the many times that he tried to validate his greatness and it was sickening. THat noise was something like "oohhhwwww" you know HE gonna whip some ass"....whatever Roy, shut up and prove it PLEASE!!!!!

[Novirasputin]

It did for the first Tarver fight and he still won


the second fight (of which i only saw the KO)

probably not because he got KOed too quick

You really need to watch a DM fight or if you have, you really need to go watch him again and watch how many punches the guy takes. He is like a talented Lamon Brewster. His chin is granite. There is no way that Jones with a 60% KO % is going to keep DM off of him.
