Did visiting mcclellan ruin Roy Jones Jr??

[Kev]

The most dominant boxer of the last 10-20 years seemed to almost go into his shell after meeting gerald and never quite recovered.
It was almost as if roy had a sudden realisation and had a fear of getting hurt.
Just off the back of rewatching that 3rd tarver fight and it was almost as if RJJ just didnt wanna fight anymore and had lost that desire to be champ.

My man,
I bet you have NO idea that the G-Man was hurt prior to the Benn fight.

G-Man was already hurt and going through things by the time he faced Benn. It was always rumored that DK then G-Man promoter did an inside job and new G-Man was hurt but still had him fighting. Again this was all rumors until Tarick Salmici a once sparring partner and stable mate of G-Man did an interview and just let it all out from over hearing a conversation between DK and members of his team to sparring with G-Man and noticing G-Man blinking rapidly and acting strange.

If you knew the history behind this whole story you would know that RJJs visit to the G-Man was just him being a friend and I too believe it did not scare RJJ and even more so RUIN, RJJ.

I mean if that was the case RJJ would have never fought on past Art Serwano whom after RJJ lands a sick right hand to the head leaves Art on the floor in a minor seizure with his eyes rolling and body shaking/cringing.

Every fighter who has ever lost a big fight has some behind the scenes drama and exuses made for him. I doubt it was relevent at all.

Bilbs, have you read the interview?
The one with Salmici where he talks about everything I typed.
About Salmici over hearing a phone conversation with DK and his people about G-Mans condition at that time.
Salmici after hearing this packed his bags and asked to be released from DK because of what he had witnessed.
DK released him after that.
I would strongly suggest you get the full scoop on G-Man and his story.

I get what your saying here Bilbo, but this ain't like G-Man went onto fight after that and he made this an excuse. It's reality and if you can't see that then your fucken blind.

It does appear that way because Jones just doesn't seem to want to finish opponents. He would much rather go the distance.

[Mr140]

What mess up Roy Jones Jr was the fact that he got destroyed by Taver then beat around by Johnson thats what got him. Getting beat like that can really humble a guy and make him think not a god anymore that is why he is not the killer he used to be.

[Beanflicker]

When did he visit Mcclellan? I thought he said he wasn't going to until he retired

[porkypara]

Its hard to know for sure but Jones is much more likley to have long term health problems by fighting on so long past his prime.


It amazes me the number of boxers that have not learned the lesson of what taking to many punches does to you long term off Muhammad Ali.
