I keep Jones muted most of the time, I can't stand listening to his voice or his "expert" bullshit, and these days to make things even worse, he tends to dominate the mic.

To be fair I'd rather listen to a boxer talking than a glorified spectator like Lampley etc anyday... like George, Roy can wear thin after a while... but most commentators piss me off from the get go.
Honestly, I'd much rather see Roy behind a mic than in a ring nowdays anyway (just as long as he's not fucking rapping!!)
To be honest watching Wlad last week has got me thinking about how the Roy who completely shut Ruiz out would have done. I'd give him a shout. I think he'd be more effective at getting in and out than Haye was and would hopefully take the risk of throwing in bunches too.
Not sure about the size as he is a touch smaller than Haye was, but Haye boxed scared and even still, Wlad was very tentative. If Roy could sting him a few times he might get his respect.
The advantage he'd have had over Haye was that I don't think he'd have thought that he could get Wlad out of there in one shot so wouldn't have spent about 95% of the fight waiting to land one.
:vd: Poor kid. The same thing comes out cuz I'm only pulling your strings in one thread, stupid. I pull your strings in a different thread it's a different topic. Jesus Christ how stupid are you really? Don't act like it don't make your day when I respond to you. The fact that you post a damn near full page every time you respond, commenting on everything is a dead give way. Fucking loser. The Julius Rains comment* only further shows how you keep track of my postings. LOL. You actually think I even remember or know what the fuck you posted in other threads? Fuck no. I'm not you. I don't keep logs of your posts nor do I have my mom read them to me at night as a bed time story. "Mommy, Mommy. Please read the Calzaghe posts again. I promise to be good" :LOLATYOU:
* We are in 2nd week of July. Which means it's my turn. So for the next 7 days I'm Julius Rains father. My duties end on the 17th at which point either Shawn Wade a Florida fire fighter or former Tennis Great Stefan Edberg take over. I need to look at the list to make sure. But it's one of them. So your damn right I'm a perform my father duties and keep track of my sons actions. It's what dads do. The boy has been molested several times before. But it ain't happening on my watch.
Good god... Are you still fucking here?! Shhhh... The grown ups were trying to talk about boxing :rolleyes:
I'll be honest, half of your post made little to no sense to me, I don't know which planet you're on... but it sure as shit isn't this one. Bed time stories about you, fire fighters, tennis greats, boys being molested?... Jesus Christ, you slip further and further into your ego pleasing, weird little fantasy/persona with each post. :-X
Other than that, we got the same shit (again...) about 'tracking posts'... I told you, if it makes you feel better about yourself then keep believing it. But it's hard not to notice if your dog has taken a runny crap all over the house and your posts (sorry, 'postings'... Haha do you work in an Indian call centre now?) are no different.
I love how you justify 'tracking' Rain's posts with a fabricated fantasy... Hahaha, 'nobody will see through that' :rolleyes: Typical VD.
Oh, PS you get long posts in reply because it's so painfully easy to pick apart the stupidly high ammount of holes in your hollow shit. Hope this helps.
To be fair, I finally got my girlfriend to watch the fighter with me last night... Roy's voice is used in it quite a lot... and by the end of it I was thinking "shut the fuck up roy!!" hehe ;)
If you've ever seen 'I-Spy' with Owen Wilson and Eddie Murphy, Eddie's character 'Kelly Robinson' is a dead ringer for a Prime Roy Jones Jr..
He speaks about himself in the 3rd person, he has very quick clever insults for his opponent, and is completely unaware of anything going on that doesn't involve him.
I loved that movie for Murphy's performance alone...hilarious.
That being said, I have a hard time listening to Roy when he's talking about another fighter. It would be like asking Picasso his opinion on Salvador Dali or whoever else. Roy competed with the highest level of skill in a sport where 1 mistake ends a fight and can ruin a career and he did it so effortlessly for so long, I just think every fighter he sees he judges too harshly or judges in comparison to himself.
Also I think there are fighters that know the sport that aren't great communicators and guys that are entertaining to listen to but aren't good at giving the insight into the sport...hell its hard to find a good entertaining fighter that can do color commentary. Shane Mosley might be one I'd look at in the future, I've heard Tarver is good although I don't like him, and hell Foreman does a decent job.
Tbh david haye sucks, He fought just like he did against Nicholai Valuev... utter bullshit. The guy only cares about his bank balance nuff said.
Thats a good point.
He's still a twat though.
