Gotta love Roy for speaking his mind. I always liked him as a commentator and I hope he gets back in there once he retires.

I think the best part was the look Roy had on his face once he finished talking. He was PISSED!
Excellent stuff from Roy. No point pissing about and mincing your words, telling the truth is what makes a great commentator/analyst who the fans can respect.
u gotta respect the guy for that
I was never a huge fan of Roy as a fighter, but I always thought he was a very good commentator on HBO. He really knew how to analyze a fight, and he had no problem criticizing fighters, promoters, judges, etc.
Fair play to jones . He called it like everyone else saw it. I remember staying up to 5am to watch this fight and i was nearly physically sick when the draw was given
What a lieing SOB Jones is LOL He whined like a baby when he was robbed in Seoul. He made his career out of that robbery more so than if he'd won gold. He refused to ever fight abroad "in case he got robbed again" lol One thing he did get right was that Lennox did get robbed and still acted like a man.
The worse part about this scenario is that Eugenia Williams, the blind or corrupt judge you choose which, gave the fight to Evander is STILL poluting ringsides as a judge. She now hides under the name Gene Williams though
hehe Roy made Don King out to be the devil in that clip. Well later on he made a deal with the devil then.
All about the green
Agreed he was blatently robbed but so were many others, but they didnt bleat whine and cry like Jones did. His being robbed of gold brought him more fame than if he'd actually won gold. Of course if he'd got the gold he wouldnt have the excuse not to fight away from home country.
Has he ever fought outside the U.S?? Nah he stayed here and fought postmen and garbage collectors while ducking his real contenders
i will watch the clip as soon as my daughter turns the thriller album DOWN!cant hear the clip

I remember watching Roy lose in the Olympics and tears came to my eyes when Roy began wiping tears from his eyes in the ring after the decision was made. I also remember the Korean raising Roy's hand and pointing to him, basically acknowledging tha Roy was the winner. That was truly class in any language.
I always thought that Roy was a pretty good commentator, especially when commenting on what was going on in the ring during a fight. If you want proof of this, just pull out the tape of Trinidad vs. Mayorga and you will see what I mean. Everything Roy said that night came true by the end of the fight (while Larry Merchant kept jabbing Roy about getting KO'd in his recent fights, which, by the way, Roy took in stride and joked about it, showing his good guy qualities)
Where can I find the fight Rican, any idea? I've always wanted to see it.
