    There is an old saying that I personally had a hard time with until the calender brought visions of Father Time sitting on a Harley. Roy had his day and he's over forty and the last time he was any good was when he beat The Octopus John Ruiz. You can be the Lightweight Champion on the world and have a truck driver of two hundred fiftty pounds or more sit on your head during a street fight but like some people say, size matters. The last time I saw skill overcome bulk before Roy Jones and Ruiz, there was Larry Holmes and Mike Spinks. Some people thought the Larry won the rematch but he never should have said anything about the icon Rocky Marciano not being good enough to carry his jock strap. The most important comment I can make here is not about size but severely diminished skills of Roy Jones Jr. and the fact that time forgives nobody and I'm still a fan and even someone as untested as Fury can hurt Roy.

    I think more people on this forum are starting to twig that Fury likes to get a response and that him stating he wants to fight Jones was done just to annoy people.

    Beating Jones holds no value to anyone of any level at any weight now.

    I keep telling everyone Ross is right but they do not listen to me either.
    Do not let success go to your head and do not let failure get to your heart.

    What do you mean other contenders? Loads of people here criicize other contenders. I've criticized Wilder, Helenius, Scott, and a few others too. It's just no one uses retarded logic to try and make
    Them out as some messiah of boxing

    How can anyone take this fight seriously?

    "Please be seated. My name is Park Si-hun. I beat Roy Jones. I'll be your waiter this evening."

    Iv never said how good I think he is. Right now I think he will be very difficult for anyone to beat because he does have guts and will actually throw punches and in combinations and has very good stamina. I thought and still think if he and Haye fight that he stops Haye. Iv never rated Haye and the Wlad shows why. His best was to not get involved in a fight and last the distance.

    He could well be too much for all of them. He beats Chisora again for sure. Unfortunately for everyone his progress has been stunted by having 2 fights cancel on him. Thats not his fault. It has set him back and will jeed to start again with a relatively easy fight, along the lines of the opponents that Chisora has been facing.
