[@VCthaGOATdunker]

His face was also stone cold when Tarver and Johnson iced him.

VCGTdunker hating for no reason

[@Mistachill]

@@VCthaGOATdunker lol, good point. Roy acting hard on TV but in the ring cared more about not getting hit than delivering punches.

[@Mistachill]

@KingOfTek First off maybe you shouldn't put words in my mouth, I never called him a coward, those are YOUR words. Second, I would never call anybody willing to step in a ring a coward regardless of their boxing talent. The worst boxer in the world willing to step in the ring is not a coward. Third, it's pretty common knowledge that Jones was greatly impacted by the Gerald McClellan tragedy and became extremely cautious in the ring. Anything else I need to clarify to prevent more ridiculous comments from you.

[@Mistachill]

@KingOfTek Again, please don't tell me what I said when my words are posted. I said "Roy acting hard on TV but in the ring cared more about not getting hit than delivering punches." Roy had a very defensive style and didn't take a lot of chances in the ring, particularly in the later stages of his prime, especially when fighting dangerous fighters. Which, by the way, there's nothing wrong with his style, especially when you have a questionable chin.

[@KingJachai]

kpf63954 That’s assuming that in the world of MMA, he fought a guy that has mastered multiple disciplines, and therefore has the ability to outmatch an elite boxer, which is actually very rare in Major MMA promotions to this date. Most top guys excel in one department, can maybe do some good in other disciplines, but for the most part do not have a balanced skill set where all their attributes are elite level. Jon Jones for example has excellent kickboxing and wrestling, but lacks basic standup boxing technique, Conor McGregor has excellent stand up abilities, but lacks in wrestling, stamina, and frankly everything else, Khabib is a monster wrestler, but his overall striking ability is comparable to an amateur. I’d say Roy’s chances against an MMA fighter is a little better than what you’re talking about. That’s not to say if you put him against say Wanderlei/Anderson Silva, Fedor, or Mirko Cro Cop, then sure he’d be toast, but I do believe that elite/god tier level boxers are definitely thrown under the bridge far too often in the grand scheme of things.

Roy Jones jr. is a soldier and soldiers don't fear death.. These two reporters could never understand that.

[@00ghostcobra]

@HEAT1996 Throughout history there have always been soldiers that didn't fear death. That didn't make them crazy, just meant that they found something worth dying for.. The Japanese Kamikazze from World War 2 come to mind.

Roys dad was right. The dog attacked the sister and Roy wasn't going to put the dog down. His father did what Roy couldn't do. I would have shot his dog too.

[@BigMike_RTTV]

Brolick Scholar But to come on his property to do that tho without talking to Roy first?

[@brolickscholar3083]

Talking is pointless. When a dog attacks a human especially family and in particular my daughter! It's gotta go. Fuck what my son says. I've lived out back in the country too. It's just the way it goes. I'm the Daddy. Roy knew better than to challenge his father. That's why he still respectshis dad now. His daddy didn't take NO shit! Roy can talk all the shit he wants but he knows...... Daddy is Daddy!
