It's Official - Roy Jones Jr. is a Has-Been

(1/5) > >>

Sikotic™:
I've been tellin y'all this forever, this cat has built his career off of his big mouth and by fighting C-class fighters.

He got knocked out again by Glenn Johnson. The poor fool was laid out motionless.

He's only 35 so he should have a few years left in him, but I think the Tarver fight devastated him so bad mentally, that he's scared to take chances again.

It's time to make rapping your day job Jones.

Shallow:
I just saw it. Man he got fucked up. It was more so the canvas than the punch but the punch was strong too. Well it's about time people saw this guy eat his words. This was supposed to be a warm up fight for Jones/Tarver 3 but it looks like it's gonna be Johnson/Tarver instead. That should be a good fight.

In other news, I heard Foreman wants to come back again. At 55 it should be interesting. If he wins a title at this age then he should go down in history as the greatest ever.

Don Jacob:
fuck roy jones i'm glad he got knocked!

and about Foreman....he's already the greatest IMO . I think he could've beat Ali in rumble in the jungle if Ali didn't play possum for most of the fight, smart move by Ali , making foreman tired, but if they were to throw down for reals ....GEORGE!

To be honest, I always thought the fight was fixed. Whether it was by doping, a pay off to George, or his corner (for not telling him to stop wasting punches). I mean it was a huge upset and there was no rematch. If Foreman won that fight, it would have been over for making money in boxing. Big George had already beaten everybody, and he was sen as a bad guy. The smart move was to make Ali champ and promote the sport. That is why I thought it was fixed.

Ali is only the greatest ever to those that don't remember anything before the 60s. The greatest ever for me is between Louis (Joe) or the Rock. But if Foreman comes back at this age and does it again then I'll place him above those two.

Don Jacob:
^yeah i honestly don't see why Ali is seen as the greatest either....i mean i've seen some of his fights and it's like what's the big deal. I agree about Joe Louis too dude was  a bad ass. BUt yeah i wish foreman would come back and win the title that would rule more than his little grills.
