Haye gets the last laugh

I keep Jones muted most of the time, I can't stand listening to his voice or his "expert" bullshit, and these days to make things even worse, he tends to dominate the mic.

To be fair I'd rather listen to a boxer talking than a glorified spectator like Lampley etc anyday... like George, Roy can wear thin after a while... but most commentators piss me off from the get go.

Honestly, I'd much rather see Roy behind a mic than in a ring nowdays anyway (just as long as he's not fucking rapping!!)

To be honest watching Wlad last week has got me thinking about how the Roy who completely shut Ruiz out would have done. I'd give him a shout. I think he'd be more effective at getting in and out than Haye was and would hopefully take the risk of throwing in bunches too.

Not sure about the size as he is a touch smaller than Haye was, but Haye boxed scared and even still, Wlad was very tentative. If Roy could sting him a few times he might get his respect.

The advantage he'd have had over Haye was that I don't think he'd have thought that he could get Wlad out of there in one shot so wouldn't have spent about 95% of the fight waiting to land one.

Not a big deal. I mean it's just you we talking about. Nobodies don't come any bigger than you. Still I do my best to give you attention and acknowledge you. Yes I will admit I have been falsely accused several times in the past by several posters of just patronizing you. I don't see it that way. I like to think me humoring you as my good deed of the day. But that's as far as I go. I'm not gonna go through the trouble of grading your posts or keep track of your movement to know what thread you in like some loser named Adam does.

Go head. You can have it puppet boy

*sigh* Venereal if you're going to say such predictable shit then don't even bother posting it. I already knew you'd come out with the 'tracking my posts/stalking me' line if I said I spotted one of your posts. *yawn*

Quite hard not to spot you when it was the most recent post in the forum and incidentally right next to this one...

I'll let you have that one, if it makes your sad little ego feel more important then go ahead... you believe that you're important enough for me to 'track' your posts.

hahaha

Can we stop with the double standards please?

First you call a shit Joke D material - then post it yourself
I call your posts weak, you then call mine 'idiotic'. Yet somehow I'm grading your posts... but you're not grading mine too?

...and now Julias Rain is a 'coward' for not replying immediately to your (weak) posts about sig bets (sig bets are serious business for hard men appearently...

) and such shit when he's online. - But it's cool for you to do it?

I've been winding you up since I replied to you, you copied my own 'david haye on his knees' post... but I'm your puppet

hahah too much!

E-Thug/Street Fighting man VD... doesn't seem to be able to keep to the tough principals that he wants us all to think he has... Not unless it suits him. As usual - your shit is weak.

You're patronising me? lol, again... it's almost sweet that you actually believe that... you're like an excitable little puppy that won't stop pissing on my feet... irritating as fuck but funny with it.
So far I've managed to chase you away from actually debating anything topical (due to the fact that you're full of more hot air than Naseem hamed talking about a comeback), gotten you to admit you copied a shit, D Material (your words) joke, highlighted your numerous double standards and fuck... even taught you how to differentiate between your and you're... like some fucking 10 year old in a remedial class.
...but you're patronising me?...

haha OK. If it helps the fragile VD ego then believe it. This joke of a persona is probably all that's stopping you from completely flipping, it would be unkind of me to take that away from it to.

You've been repeating the same shit over and over for posts now (we get it... I 'grade your posts' I'm stupid bla bla bla) and you've ran away from debating anything remotely on topic due to a lack of material to answer back with.

A kind referee would have waved it off by now as you clearly can't respond to the punches being thrown. I think we're about done here... seems a bit stupid to keep kicking this up just to repeat the same shit for the 5th time... you know were the PM button is. X

Poor kid. The same thing comes out cuz I'm only pulling your strings in one thread, stupid. I pull your strings in a different thread it's a different topic. Jesus Christ how stupid are you really? Don't act like it don't make your day when I respond to you. The fact that you post a damn near full page every time you respond, commenting on everything is a dead give way. Fucking loser. The Julius Rains comment* only further shows how you keep track of my postings. LOL. You actually think I even remember or know what the fuck you posted in other threads? Fuck no. I'm not you. I don't keep logs of your posts nor do I have my mom read them to me at night as a bed time story. "Mommy, Mommy. Please read the Calzaghe posts again. I promise to be good"

* We are in 2nd week of July. Which means it's my turn. So for the next 7 days I'm Julius Rains father. My duties end on the 17th at which point either Shawn Wade a Florida fire fighter or former Tennis Great Stefan Edberg take over. I need to look at the list to make sure. But it's one of them. So your damn right I'm a perform my father duties and keep track of my sons actions. It's what dads do. The boy has been molested several times before. But it ain't happening on my watch.

**AdamGB** · 07-13-2011 10:09 AM

Good god... Are you still fucking here?! Shhhh... The grown ups were trying to talk about boxing

I'll be honest, half of your post made little to no sense to me, I don't know which planet you're on... but it sure as shit isn't this one. Bed time stories about you, fire fighters, tennis greats, boys being molested?... Jesus Christ, you slip further and further into your ego pleasing, weird little fantasy/persona with each post.

Other than that, we got the same shit (again...) about 'tracking posts'... I told you, if it makes you feel better about yourself then keep believing it. But it's hard not to notice if your dog has taken a runny crap all over the house and your posts (sorry, 'postings'... Haha do you work in an Indian call centre now?) are no different.

I love how you justify 'tracking' Rain's posts with a fabricated fantasy... Hahaha, 'nobody will see through that'

Typical VD.

Oh, PS you get long posts in reply because it's so painfully easy to pick apart the stupidly high ammount of holes in your hollow shit. Hope this helps.

To each their own, I've just never have been a fan of "PPV" RJJ, and I like him even less as an announcer, but that's just me, more often then not I have to mute him.

To be fair, I finally got my girlfriend to watch the fighter with me last night... Roy's voice is used in it quite a lot... and by the end of it I was thinking "shut the fuck up roy!!" hehe

If you've ever seen 'I-Spy' with Owen Wilson and Eddie Murphy, Eddie's character 'Kelly Robinson' is a dead ringer for a Prime Roy Jones Jr..

He speaks about himself in the 3rd person, he has very quick clever insults for his opponent, and is completely unaware of anything going on that doesn't involve him.

I loved that movie for Murphy's performance alone...hilarious.

That being said, I have a hard time listening to Roy when he's talking about another fighter. It would be like asking Picasso his opinion on Salvador Dali or whoever else. Roy competed with the highest level of skill in a sport where 1 mistake ends a fight and can ruin a career and he did it so effortlessly for so long, I just think every fighter he sees he judges too harshly or judges in comparison to himself.

Also I think there are fighters that know the sport that aren't great communicators and guys that are entertaining to listen to but aren't good at giving the insight into the sport...hell its hard to find a good entertaining fighter that can do color commentary. Shane Mosley might be one I'd look at in the future, I've heard Tarver is good although I don't like him, and hell Foreman does a decent job.
