Thats just tough luck
Why on earth is it a shame?

He's made his money and is pricing himself out of fights that he knows he has no place being in anyway. He has always had competition. Look down his resume and you will see he beat plenty but also left out so many more!

Jones was good, but he makes me chuckle somewhat sometimes
Its a shame for him and a shame for the fans..

We miss out on seeing him in big fights again.. He still has skill.. But im still uncertain whether he can ever recapture what he had..

So like who did he leave out?

What Nigel Benn? Rematch with Bernard? Benn lost the eliminator to fight roy against Sugar boy malinga, Roy had every right to ask 60 / 40 at the time..

Yeaa roy doesnt have the credentials and the momentum to price himself out and call the shots quite like he used to.. But at the end of the day ..If people want to fight him badly enough he still has the right to ask for what he likes.. Its his problem alone if the fights dont come together

Of course i know Roy beat many good fighters..A hell of alot more then people want to give him credit for.. Mainly because most dont know enough on boxing to know how good come of his competition was..
Roy hasnt beaten a meaningful opponent in a LONG time

And you know it.

He doesnt have the right to ask anyone for what he likes. He is a guy approaching 40 and without a meaningful win in years. He cannot get what he wants and stays on the sidelines. It will continue....
Whats with the attitude? This is a debate and you talking to me with this..' And you know it' thing..

No i dont know it

How has roy not beat a meaningful opponent in a LONG time.. Last i checked Ruiz and Tarver are plenty meaningful..

3 years is not an incredibly long time.. Its not a short amount of time either

And who is he calling the shots against..I said he dont have the same stuff to back his arguement as such.. But of course he has the ' right ' to..
Hes a man.. his own boss, his own fighter and if he wana do that then its his right.. I aint saying it'll get him where he wana go but nobody gona bust into his house whip him and stick a gun to his head and say NO roy Bernard gets 60/40

And whats more roy and bernard were supposed to get it on again last year for 50/50 But bernard pulled out and started talking 60/40 again.. And if thats not roy swallowing his enourmous pride for a fight then nothing is
