Boxing News :: Articles : The Legacy of Roy Jones Jr. Roy Jr sat at the peak of Mount Olympus for so long that, in retrospect, it was almost inevitable one of the countless reaching hands desperate to take his throne would eventually get a strong enough hold of his leg to pull him tumbling back down to earth. Roy Jr gallantly hauls his wrecked body up at the count of nine, but, unable to reclaim his scrambled senses, the ultimate price is paid for entering into battle without the unwavering commitment that he himself had always expected...no...demanded from his beloved roosters. As a child, Roy Jr would sometimes watch a bird he loved fight to a vicious death in local cock fighting tournaments that he and his father, Roy Sr, regularly partook in. www.boxingscene.com /index.php?m=show&id=2704   (1152 words)

Doug Fischer Jones said he was in shape and healthy for the fight, but also stated that he just couldn't get up for fighters like Tarver at this stage of his career. Johnson, now 41-9-2 (28), out-worked Jones from the onset of the fight, attacking the former four-division champ for all three minutes of the first round before settling down and diligently working his way inside behind a strong jab, hard over-hand rights and steady pressure.

Roy Jones Jr. Roy’s ability to come out with aggression and attack Antonio Tarver &; as well as pretty much his overall ability over the entire course of the fight- will be mostly decided by father time and how intent he is on tightening the reins on Roy Jones as he again advances in age. If Roy continues to hold his left hand lodged by his side like a gun in a holster, he must be prepared to slip, duck and dodge Tarver& artillery while perhaps being aware he is going to take a good shot or two. I still think Jones is capable of performing at least to the same level of his first meeting with Tarver, and lets not forget he was looking pretty good for four minutes and forty seconds into the rematch. www.doghouseboxing.com /Dodemaide/Dodemaide093005.htm   (839 words)

Jones, who has a rocky relationship with the media even in the best of times, didn't show up for the postfight news conference. sfgate.com /cgi-bin/article.cgi?f=/news/archive/2004/05/16/sports1524EDT0161.DTL   (799 words)

The Boxing World Without Roy Jones, JR. He and Roy Jones were the two dominating forces in the light heavyweight division and it would have been great for the sport had they met in their primes, but it wasn't meant to be.

Jones would move back to the light heavyweight division to face the new king, Antonio Tarver, but the fact that he had to lose twenty pounds of muscle in such a short period of time took everything out of Roy. ringsidereport.com /McGahee1302006.htm   (1629 words)

Jones has always thought he was a champion, but now is the time that he has to show it with someone that is true competition. Jones realizes that his blueprint has to be top notch if he is to redeem himself and beat the man that many feel has his number.

Hot Boxing News! Jones first performed a rap tune, surrounded in a mist of fog, with music blaring, and dancers dressed in short silk attire, moving in unison as Jones rapped to the audience. After Jones' music number, he made his way down the stairway and into the ring, but not without making the crowd feel as if he was personally entertaining each and every one of them on the way down. But by the later rounds, Roy was picking Woods apart at will with clean shots, and bringing out his bag of "tricks" that included doing the "Bantam rooster" before launching a barrage of slick and quick combinations. www.hotboxingnews.com /fight090702jones.htm   (672 words)

Music Review: Roy Jones, Jr. It is hard to believe this a rookie effort by Roy Jones, Jr. Roy's lyrics, driven by a distinct sound, suggest he is bitter by the media's portrayal of him, and he is trying to convince listeners (seemingly himself also) into buying his ideas. Roy's diverse effort begins with hard-hitting rhythmic beats, highlighted by the pulsating seduction in "You Damn Right." "Ya'll Must've Forgot," his boxing autobiographical hit single, is a little choppy but infectiously energetic, nonetheless. www.eastsideboxing.com /phil0103.html   (621 words)

USATODAY.com - Jones-Tyson matchup could become reality Roy Jones Jr., his face still bruised and puffy from taking Antonio Tarver's punches, was nonetheless already thinking about his next fight.

Roy Jones Jr. ... Legacy Time For Jones it is to re-ignite the all-time pound-for-pound discussion and whether the names Roy and Ray should be mentioned in the same sentence. Jones was named outstanding boxer of the 1988 Olympics in spite of being robbed of Gold, and Fighter of the Decade for the 1990’s. Perhaps because Jones follow-up fight clearly showed that he was not in peak form, or perhaps because Tarver had his eyes shut when he landed the knockout blow. www.doghouseboxing.com /Harrison/BRC090605.htm   (1880 words)

Gutcheck for Roy Jones, Jr. by Tom Luffman (September 24, 2004) Don't be a naysayer and dimiss a third match because Roy must salvage his legacy and legacy demands that he redeems himself in the ring with Tarver.

IGN Boards - Roy Jones Jr Vs. Evander Holyfield All and all, Jones is just making a mockery of the sport and should be staying in his own weight class (unless he wants to contend in heavyweights only). He can't beat anybody as fast as Jones or Byrd because he doesn't have the power to put them away with one punch or the workrate to keep up with them, but he can still beat guys like Rahman, V. Klitschko, Oquendo, and McCline. I dont think that Jones will be able to "play" with Holyfield the way he has "played" with every other fighter. boards.ign.com /Boxing/b5492/36529819?7   (830 words)
