People don't understand how that killed Roy Jones career. He was trying to make money, but in doing so he ruined his body. You have to look at time frame in which he went back down to light heavy weight. For a boxer at 34 that's too much weight and too soon to drop down. I run my butt off, but I can't get back down to my natural weight without killing myself. During my injuries I packed on so much muscle, so I understand what's going on with Roy.
@130kali james toney was over 200 pounds after Prince Charles William's fight and came down to 168 to fight roy after 4 months. he lost and that is roy's biggest victory after defeating the worst heavyweight ever! im not tarnishing Roys career, its comments like ur that make me wanna pick apart roys career. i love roy, but dont protect him too much, cuz it leaves you open. if toney lost fair and squar against roy, then roy lost fair and squar against ever opponent thats ko'd him.
You obviously are. James Toney situation is totally different. After the Roy fight he went up in weight and kept going up in weight. Roy Jones packed on muscles to fight Ruiz, and had to cut back down in 8 months. It was obvious before, during and after the Tarver fight that he wasn't the same. He was clearly weight drained and his body didn't look the same. I am not making excusing I'm stating a fact. BHOP said it himself what kept him fighting for so long is that he never played with weight.
@130kali man, i know ur right, everything with the weight cuttin u said was correct it does affect you BIG TIME! what im saying though is wen toney cut down in weight and lost to roy, he was never giving his just due, never given the rematch.. however i do agree roy losing weight affected him BIG.
Watch toney vs Lebadev, in russia. toney is figthin at cruiserweight, hes cutting alot of fat to meet up for this fight.... its just like roy situation against Tarver.
Don't get me wrong Toney is a great fighter, but he ruined himself. At 5'8 he should'nt be 245 lbs. The reason why I don't cut him any slack is because I'm disappointed in him. The man was getting ready to blow, but he threw it away with lack of discipline just like Roy. But I see what you're saying. I'm sorry I didn't get it at first.
Bernard Hopkins milked the middleweight titles 20 somethin' times against B, C, D level fighters, waited for the smaller name fighters to move up two weight classes to get their names on his resume, then waited til Roy was completely shot to get his name last. Bernard Hopkins is a con-artist. He never ever defeated someone who is his size that was great.
@Beatbyawhiteboy Roy depended on his athletic abilities too much. he forgot his fundamentals, as far as being an athlete how they were 15-20 yrs ago theyre both shot. Bernard stayed with his fundamentals, thats what won the fight. plus a few dirty pot shots. but eh it happens.
If your not already - why not start training? Today! Just 30 minutes of boxing training a day will give you an excellent all round fitness, without interrupting your social life. I started in october last year 2009 and already i feel, fitter, happier and more confident , and more enthusiastic than ever. I know i'll never be world boxing champ but i really feel i need to encourage some others to take it up. After all , Humans are built for ACTION! Check out my video Boxing routine 3mins.mp4
@adamrod999 I beg the differ, Hopkins came to fight....but you can only fight if ya opponent fights back. Hops is a counter puncher...But Jones simply was too scared to throw...
@tonybonez Tarver is a B-level fighter, Pavlik is a hyped up C-level fighter and Winky is decent, who moved up 2 weight class from his natural weight class to fight Hopkins.
OK maybe Pavlik is hyped up a little, but he beat Jermaine taylor didnt he??
Winky is decent---Winky has massive talent and so does Tarver. Hopkins would have an impeccible record if not for the 2 losses to Jermaine taylor (what ever happened to him).
I notice you didn't refute the fact that BHOP is butt ugly hahaha. Dude just looks like a boxer!
That's the problem I have. A lot of his well accomplished fights were fighters who had to move up in weight to beat him. When he went on that long reign of fights, Bernard wouldn't fight anyone. I watch this man fight Antwon Echols twice. He was a dirty fighter his whole career. I'm not saying he wasn't good or technical, but he was never prize fighter in my opinion.
I just can not see Roy Jones winning this but who knows miracles are made in heaven but bet your lucky stars Roy is in for a bruising train hard fight hard join the health is wealth movement.
I agree and this is why i have no respect for Golden boy promos. They duck you until they feel like they can win. The Boxing Comittee should set up fights the champ should always fight the #1 Contender. Nobody wants to see this fight it should be free.

I'm kind of disappointed in B-Hop because he is fighting Roy Jones knowing that he's over the edge in his down slide career. Bernard is awesome but why fight Roy now! Roy Jones at least in 2005 would of been a great fight but I feel that he feels that Roy is no good and he can finally beat him... Roy is getting worst with age and B-Hop is getting better with age so I wouldn't be surprised if B-Hop beats Roy but Roy Jones is one of the best fighters ever win or lose...
@CameronSoFresh what are you mopes talkin about hopkins has been trying to fight roy for YEEEEEEEEEEAAARS. roy was always the one that didnt want it, i remember like right after the hopkins trinidad fight roy was on the radio in philly sayin the only way hed fight hopkins is if it was a 60/40 split and hopkins CALLED IN and said fine winner gets 60 loser gets 40 and roy said no. roy jones is a bum with the weekest chin of all time hasnt fought ANYBODY in almost 20 years
Bernard is still Great, Roy just got stopes in the 1at rd. in his last fight. Roy needs to retire, Hopkins is going to break him down. 7-8 rd k.o. Philly
Wow this fight is growing! I think people see the Story but are afraid of the outcome lols your going to see Roy get EXECUTED AND THERES NOTHING YOU CAN DO HA HAAAAAA!
