Steve Collins vs Roy jones jr

[imp]

Why should roy have to travel?

I know its ego that have prevented alot of good fights from happening but surely the guy at the top of the hill gets first choice/preference.

Roy jones is stuck in greed mode and will take any named fighter.
Jones has been finished for so long its a joke.

What has become so frustrating with boxing though is that the top guy hasn't wanted to give himself a challenge by giving up those advantages. When you're that good, you don't need them and the fans want to see the top guy prove himself. I think people loved Ali for this. He had no qualms in coming over to the UK for the Cooper fight. He didn't need to but he did it anyway. Taking a chance like this can only help your fan base grow as well.

If you can make more money fighting at home though, why wouldn't you do that?

i was a big fan of roy jones when i was younger and more naive... now i see he was a bit of a bitch pussy. knowingly fighting bums and claiming to be the best in the world all the while dodging credible opponents in favour of "ranked fighters" and bullshit mandatories that were utter garbage. being protected by and hiding behind the belts. kind of looks like a joke now when you compare him to other blood and guts all time greats.

Nonsense.

Roy dominated a guy named Reggie Johnson. Former two time champion and embezzeler extradonaire. Collins was quite familiar with him.
