Comments Thread For: Maccarinelli Knocks Roy Jones Jr. Out Cold in Four!

[.:: JSFD26 ::.]

Hopkins fought way beyond his economical needs. He could've retired ten years ago if he wanted. I doubt Roy has money problems. He already has a spot on HBO as a commentator.

Marvin Hagler once said, "If they cut my bald head open, they will find one big boxing glove. That's all I am. I live it."

I believe that's the case for a lot of fighters - especially the ol' school throwbacks like Hopkins, Toney and Jones Jr.

Comparing Hopkins to RJJr? Hopkins was obviously a fresh fighter who was barely getting hit even way late into his career and winning EASILY. We can't say the same for RJJr can we?

There should be a couple of weight classes between light heavyweight and heavyweight. Roy is a prime example - too small for cruiserweight and too big and slow (now) for lightheavy.

You better get the context right.

He said Roy is only fighting for money, not for the love of boxing. I used Hopkins as an example to show that fighting for the love of fighting actually is plausible.

damn. Roy is gonna die in that ring.

Jones is a absolute ***ing IDIOT continuing to be brutally knocked out! He complained about neurological issues many years ago and then gets in the ring to be repeatedly knocked out! That is like someone complaining about headaches and then ****ing their head against a brick wall!

Roy gon' Roy, him getting wacked isn't even news anymore.

Why? This is not even sport anymore, this is sick. Roy must not be allowed in the ring anymore. That KO is thee saddest thing I've ever seen in boxing. Worse than the Ali beating against Holmes. He's one more fight away from ending up like Gerald McClelland. Enough, this is sick.

Roid should just wear a gas mask with an air hose right in his ass so he can live in a cloud of his own methane, then he'll have no reason to keep fighting chasing the dragon.

First off, hello to everyone from Bulgaria.

The reason I'm posting is that I wanted to ask - Since I can't quote, on page 4 there's a video of the knockout without commentary. Now, right after the ref waves his hands you can hear a moan from Roy and then he's saying something. Can anyone make heads or tails of it? I have my thoughts, but I'll share them later, because it's so hard to hear and I don't want to put ideas in anyone's head about what it might be. It sounds horrible though and seeing him writhe around wasn't easy either.

It's sad seeing a gladiator like Roy Jones Jr going down like that. And while I'm sometimes annoyed with how out of touch he seems and how ****y he acts, I think he deserves our respect if for nothing else, at least for the fact that he was always a clean fighter with sportsmanship, who always got up and held to where his body gave up. Farewell, Roy, you are an inspiration!

Embarassing fight. Predictable result.
