Roy Jones Jr: "Watch Me and See The Master"

intresting title

[Hulk]

Nice to see that Jones is not going to face Manfredo, or anything foolish like that, least not yet. But who is Manny Siaca? I like to think I know who the contenders are, even in the LH division right now, but I've never heard of the guy. Jones is right, at his prime or anywhere near it, he was light years ahead of Jermain Taylor, and Kassim Ouma, but he's not in his prime. Nonetheless, I think I'll probably watch the Roy Jones PPV, gotta see if Jone's comeback is for real, the Ajamu fight proved something, but not enough.

[p4pking]

Siaca shouldn't be ranked at lightheavy I don't think.. Although I have no idea who he's fought there.. He was a super middle, who was KOed by Kessler for the WBA title, which he won from Mundine(but shouldn't have, Anthony stunk the place out and still it was razor thin). Good showcase kind of fight for Roy I guess but it doesn't prove a thing, noone should buy this PPV. Watch the replay and decide how you think Roy looks, because that's the only thing this fight will offer imo.

CC. Thanks for the info on Siaca. But who's gonna replay the PPV? Isn't it another one time only, small promoter PPV like the Ajamu fight was? And besides it'll probably be like 30 bucks not 50. And the Taylor vs Ouma fight will for sure be replayed.

Hmmm, "Watch me and see the master" -
My immediate thought was "Has RJJ got himself a tattoo of a really good fighter?"
Or possibly a tattoo of himself at his peak some 4 or 5 years ago.

But that's the only way we'll see the master any more. Can't he just leave us with the memory of him at his very best, a true great?

Sure, but he can still make for big fights against the best now at super middle and lightheavy.. Would you really say it's impossible that Roy Jones could make a comeback and beat the likes of Thomas Adamek or someone like that? Who the hell even has any of the belts at light heavy. If he looked great in this fight, then won a title at light heavy, would you not pay to see Calzaghe move up and fight him?(I say this because he cant make anything under 175). I think he looked pretty good vs Ajamu, and although I was really, really dissapointed in his performance against Tarver in the third fight he still looked to have his physical tools, maybe the gunshy thing is something he can overcome if he trains and spars hard enough. There have been lots of great fighters to come back from KO losses, if he thinks he can do it I say good on him.

[Majesty]

Roy SHOULD change his style just a little bit like the Ajamu fight where he had his hands up more often.


And Siaca is ranked 2 at Light Heavyweight.

OK, well he does have a chance at it, but he can't go shooting for the stars anymore, he's gotta turn down his ambition a bit, and stick to fighting guys like Siaca and Manfredo Jr. I don't see him able to beat the guys like Calzaghe, Kessler, Johnson. HE could beat Tarver, or Adamek maybe, if he's willing to take a risk on them.

WHO'S THE MASTER!?!?!?!

I guess we just disagree then.. There aren't any huge stars that he'll be shooting for, and I think he does have a good chance of beating those guys possibly at 175.. At the very least they are intriuging fights. Jones vs Kessler or Calzaghe would be bigger than anything those two will do besides face each other. Im almost positive of that. I say if he's going to stick around he may as well fight the best, because there's not a whole lot of depth at 175.

[NuthaPug]

Jones can have only one goal, and that is to fight the best and be the best. Clearly he's not going into this with a goal of being a gatekeeper at 5th or 10th.

He may end up there, but only because the top fighters make it so.

Let him get as sharp as he can, and take God into the ring with him, and face Joe. Why not?

Sentimental old romanticist that I am, I believe in Roy and think he could beat Joe. I have the same attitude toward Holy ...

I was rooting for Mercer too when he made his comeback efforts and he did himself proud but you see where that got me in the end. Romantic follies.

[Pugilistic]

roy jones is the main boy.

"Watch me and see the master"?

The ego in him wont let it go! He is old and is way past his best. If he couldnt even work a decision against Tarver in that 3rd fight then that said it all there and then. For this charade to be continuing even now is just silly.

He is now fighting guys with many losses against them and its really proving nothing. At his age he isnt going to get any better..

I just dont see the point in this charade...
