    Yes, but he has livestock, real-estate, etc.

    He can always get the Black Angus cattle back.

    He can't get his brain-cells back.

    I think Roy should put pen to paper and write a book on his career. Could be a best seller.

    Oh relax REED, I was only half serious. By the way I was fairly certain you would respond to this, not completely certain though. I thought time might have softened your need to defend these arguments these days, but look at you, still at it after all these years.

    Jeez, another one? Why don't these guys pay their taxes? Is he really broke just cause of a 3.5 mil tax bill? Roy made a lot more money then that these last few years and from what it appeared he never lavished himself with a bunch of depreciative junk the way Mayweather does.

    Probably all those years wrapped up with Murad Muhammad. Guy makes Don King look like a philanthropist.

    Plus Roy has never been smart with his business dealings outside of boxing.

    True, but if it had anything to do with Rooney's skills as a trainer, you would suppose that he could have produced another champion or even a top contender in at least one weight class during these 25 years. Instead, he became a miserable old drunk

    true. I don't think anyone is saying that Rooney was some HOF trainer or anything, just that he was good for Tyson.

    He kinda like Tom Hagen from Godfather:

    "I have a special practice, I represent only one client"

    A shouting, fat-faced, brain-damaged Tom Hagen.

    Hagen would have taken Arguello out.

    I was never much of a Jones fan, but it's sad to see him to continue to fight way past his time at the top.

    Remember when Hearns tried to call him out years ago?

    He might actually have a chance to beat him now. :pathetic::lol:
