Roy Jones Jr to be on Pros vs Joes on Spike TV!!!! Basketball & not boxing.
"I didn't think it would take this long," says Roy Jones Jr., sipping on coffee while he wears his boxing robe. "There's a whole lot of waiting around going on here."
When it's time for Jones to take off his robe, he doesn't step into the ring, but rather a basketball court setup near the concession stands at the stadium. The former champion, who once played a professional basketball game and fought a boxing match in the same day, will be hooping it up alongside Tim Hardaway in a little game of two-on-two against the Joes. While the Joes take an early 4-0 lead and maintain their advantage through the first half of the game, it isn't long until Hardaway starts crossing over the Joes and dishing to Jones for some open lay-ups. "School is in session and it's an open book test," screams Smith from the sideline after the Pros win. "And you still failed, playa."
"I heard so much about Roy playing with a CBA team but I had never seen him in person," Hardaway says after the game. "I wanted to see if he really had skills and he does. He's got some skills. He knows how to play the game. He knows how to play the game the correct way and we showed these Joes how it's done."
While Jones and Hardaway were supposed to win the game, Jones picked up some motivation when the Joes started talking some trash after Jones launched a couple of early air balls. "I love it when people say I can't do something," he says. "I'm the best athlete in boxing and I want to show that boxers are versatile and can do more than one thing."

Re: Roy Jones Jr to be on Pros vs Joes on Spike TV!!!! Basketball & not boxing.
Say it ain't so, Roy.
If you needed money you should've just come and asked me.
There's no shame in asking.
We're all friends here. We take care of each other.
Don't do it, baby.
We'll work through whatever problems we have.
Re: Roy Jones Jr to be on Pros vs Joes on Spike TV!!!! Basketball & not boxing.
When is this suppose to air on tv?
Re: Roy Jones Jr to be on Pros vs Joes on Spike TV!!!! Basketball & not boxing.
This is actually a pretty cool show. It sports a lot of juiced up has beens like Canseco, Rocker and Romanowski, but it also has had people like Jerry Rice, Jenny Finch, Herchel Walker (who absolutely TRASHED this one dude who thought he could have made the NFL) and Clyde Drexler.
They showed RJJ letting go a combination to the guy's body on the teaser, hillarious.
Re: Roy Jones Jr to be on Pros vs Joes on Spike TV!!!! Basketball & not boxing.
Randy Coutre took part in the show too, though I missed that episode. And Randy is a classy UFC fighter, who was both the HW and LH champ, and will be challenging the current HW champ very soon. So don't act like this show is just full of has beens and all that crap. Even if Randy did retire recently. My buddy was tellin me today about this new episode with Roy Jones, and it is gonna rock. On the info for the show, it says "A round with Roy Jones", so that should be tight, none of these Joes could go a round with Roy if he didn't want them to, so ya know he takes it easy on em.

I didn't say the show was all hasbeens and jerks. I said it's half and half. Jerry Rice is my favorite football player of all time.

I wasn't accusin you. I was just makin a general statement about what some people have said about the show. For the record I like Jose Canseco too, he's a good guy. He was on the Surreal Life a couple seasons back.

Re: Roy Jones Jr to be on Pros vs Joes on Spike TV!!!! Basketball & not boxing.
This show is AWESOME!!!! ;D
Re: Roy Jones Jr to be on Pros vs Joes on Spike TV!!!! Basketball & not boxing.
I hope somebody posts it on here... those joes deserve it because they are way too cocky considering they are nobodies... I have no problem with a trained athlete at a sport demolishing a cocky prick who tries to step up to the plate... I am sure Jones won't go all out.

Roy's not like that... always played the game on his own terms... even if his PPV wasn't as high as some fighters he walked away with more money.
He's just doing this for the public, keep em interested etc.

Oh man Bo Jackson i haven't talked about that guy in ages. I do agree I think he could of definately went to the pros right out of High School he was sick man. I wish he never got hurt because he would have been a legend in the nfl I think.
Re: Roy Jones Jr to be on Pros vs Joes on Spike TV!!!! Basketball & not boxing.
Wacko dunno where you heard, or this source heard about the basketball, maybe on a later episode, but there was NO basketball on the episode. Just Roy boxing all three of the Joes, then avoidin gettin hit by two of em in overtime. Roy IMO took it way too easy on these guys. I know he doensn't want to hurt anyone or get sued, but come on. They were wearin pillows, at least 16 oz gloves, and head gear, he could let loose a little bit, you know dig the body and make the suckers quit. Its absurd that two of the Joes went 3 full minutes with Roy, even though he was totally playing with them and just slappin him. AND even more absurd that one of the Joes hit Roy in the head 5 times in 20 some odd seconds. I know its all for show and Roy let him, but come on...
