Roy Jones Jr says he didn't beat Tarver on Purpose

By DHB (June 19, 2006)

At a press conference this weekend at the Peabody Hotel in Memphis to hype Roy Jones vs Prince Amaju on July 29th, Jones suprised the media by showing up. Although Jones was 45 minutes late, he is famous for not showing up at all for press conferences. Roy Jones Jr made a startling revelation on why he lost the third fight against Antonio Tarver. Jones Jr blames his father for that loss, saying he made a conscience decision to loss. He made that choice in the fifth round of the fight. Jones says that is when he decided that he wasn't going to win the fight.

Jones Jr is quoted by Tim Smith of the New York Daily at the conference as saying: "If I had won the fight my father would have gotten all the glory and he didn't deserve it. If I had knocked out Tarver they would have said it was because of him. My father don't deserve this. Where were you the last 12 years? He's a sharp guy. Having him was more bad than good. He's a good boxing guy. He taught me. But he's not good for me.''"

I don't know what you're laughing at Homie...If RJJ says he lost to Tarver on purpose, then I have to believe RJJ. Why would RJJ make up any excuses? please edit your post

RJJ is delusional. Even if it was true, all of that would go out the window once you start getting hit.

5

Roy Jones is definitely punchy. On that note, I hope Ajamu beats him so he can invent another good excuse.

6

craziest excuse eva!

7

Bwahahaha!

Gotta love RJJ; lately he's more entertaining with these delusional comments than he is in the ring.

8

All we need now is RJ's excuse.

The old saying is that you learn more about a person after losing and I believe it. We have all learned some things about RJ and Roy, whichever hat he is wearing today.

"Have you got any excuses tonight Roy???"

"Yes..."

10

LOL @ U4EA

11

LOL, thanks for making me laugh before I leave for work hahahah

12

Does anyone remember RJJ talking about his juice, and how if he ever ran out he said he knew where to get a whole lot more?

13

Wow. That is one crazy comment.

14

Jeff and I actually attended that press conference.

Roy had alot of of the wall things to say but that was certainly the worst.

He was most passionate when asked who he thought would win the NBA Finals. That shows you where his priorities are at. I'm puttin money on Ajamu.

15

"I'm puttin money on Ajamu. "

I did right when the odds went up on the fight

16

I would definitely bet ANY live body vs. Jones. His legs are gone. And he doesn't like getting hit any more than he ever did.

17

why criminal?

18

Sounds like he's baiting a 3rd fight with Tarver.

19

you mean a 4th fight with Tarver.
