How often did you have to remind Kellerman and Lampley that they've never boxed?
parysoski6 karma
do you think success is more determined by hard work, or natural talent?
Do you believe most people can be great at anything if they truly dedicate themselves to their craft?
RealRoyJonesJr5 karma
It's about defining your craft. Once you define your craft, you have to find God and he will take you to the top of where you need to go.

Hey Roy, a fight that never happened was Bernard Hopkins vs James Toney. Who do you think would've won? Also, I love that HBO has you call fights, interesting to hear what you're able to see that Jim and Max don't see.

Merqui Sosa hit the hardest. Toughest fight James Toney. Ha ha, hit in the neck

Hey Roy, in your opinion, who will be the face of boxing in the next few years?

Is there any boxer from the past you wish you had the opportunity to fight?

Hi Roy, I've been a huge fan of yours since I was little kid and I've always wondered, after having such an amazing career and being considered one of the all time greats, what do you think was your greatest achievement in this sport? Thank you.

Hello, if you could go back to any moment in your boxing career, what moment would you want to go back to?

Fellow Pensacolian here! I went to Brown Barge Middle School (I’m 30) and one of our custodians had a pair of your gloves hanging from his cart. I don’t quite remember but I think he grew up with you?
Will you ever run for mayor here?
What’s your favorite spot to eat in Pcola?
RealRoyJonesJr9 karma
I don't know if I will ever run for mayor. But there are several places I like to eat in Pensacola, but my favorite place is at home.

Hey Roy, it's been a big fantasy match of mine to see you training Vasyl Lomachenko! Would you be open to training him and what benefits do you see yourself giving him by being in his corner?
RealRoyJonesJr12 karma
Of course I would be interested in training him. It would be beneficial for me and the viewers because I would be entertaining the crowd.
RealRoyJonesJr11 karma
Very terrible to get into and it takes a lot of money to get into it.

Hey Roy! I've met you a couple of times at the dog track back home a long time ago! Nice to see you on reddit! Do you still have the body head painted whip? haha

What are some interesting things that go on behind the scenes at some of the fights that you get to see as a commentator that others rarely get to see?
Also, how/when did you know that "he not getting up, Jim"?
RealRoyJonesJr10 karma
Interesting things behind the scenes is mostly in the fighter meetings during the conversations. You mostly know if a fighter is getting up by the way they go down.

What's your thought on HBO's Boxing lack of quality matches so far this year? Also what's your perspective on PBC and will you ever work as a commentator for PBC if you were offered the opportunity?
RealRoyJonesJr10 karma
If PBC offered and I wasn't under contract I would consider it. But I think HBO has a good selection of fighters on their network

Roy, big UK fan here.
My question is this, and I hope it doesn't come across as shitty, I don't intend it to be that way.
Why are you continuing to fight at this point? Are you not worried you may tarnish your legacy? Enzo Maccarinelli wouldn't have been fit to face you at any stage until recently, he wouldn't have lasted a round in your prime. You are a successful rapper, a record holder and in your prime an absolute all time fighter, AND a successful commentator.
Why do you carry on fighting at this point? Is it pride, or search of a cruiserweight title? Would like to know.
Thanks, Roy!
