    Default Re: Will there ever be another Roy Jones?

    RJJ left questions, that should've been answered.

    Even though I am one who states names he didn't fight, I still felt he would've won, yet he didn't fight ALL the names.

    My 1st knock on him is that...Guys like Ray Robinson had over 120 fights before his talents and skill deteriorated.
    The second knock on RJJ was his testing positive for a banned substance, the 3rd knock was when he came back to LHW, the title was stripped of the one who won it in the ring- wreaked of favoritism. That fighter sued ...and won, proving RJJ should've fought to get the LHW title back.

    RJJ's talent & yes skill can't be denied. A bad mofo, but his rule consisted of too many ordinary Joes: Lastly when he chose to fight vinny Pazienza, I felt cheated. Paz, seemed to roided up...when comparing him to his early days and came back from what was it? A motorcycle accident? I expected Michael Nunn or Rochiaginni, but after Toney, the names were pretty weak, if not awful. Maybe credit to fighting the body snatcher McCallum, but... this was 96? a dude who had been fighting since 1981?!

    I agree with what Manny Steward said: Roy is probably the most waste of talent ever. So much skill so much speed & power and who did he display it against? Thorton, Sosa, Lucas, Brannon, Griffin was a good fighter, but few knew him. Hill was always considered protected. Then Devalle, Grant, Reggie Johnson , Telesco? Richard Hall?! A who's who list of WHO are these guys?

    Great talent, unique skills, but a horrible manager of his own fights.
