Joe Rogan - Michael B. Jordan, Don't Fight Roy Jones Jr.!!

You know we were preparing for the tapings and he never text me back and I'm like we're walking by this And I'm like just come in and look and he literally looks at the iPhone like it's the enemy of the people You hung it with disdain. I have an iPhone also I got the guy goes you could do anything on this you could text you can make a point you could do anything you can Write your shows and Dave goes should we really play God? I had a couple of good lines, but I don't go past an iPhone 2 I feel like you know that's pushing it because now it's like up to 10, right? You have an iPhone 2 like yeah, how many are like how many iPhones compared to baby burst? How many iPhones compared to how many rocky movies are there? Rockies cuz now we have dose creeds the same thing is act now I guess it is because it's working off of the actual narrative of rocky Do you hear Michael B Jordan is talking about boxing Roy Jones jr. Yeah, cool. Oh god. I hope it's a joke Just straight-up boxing not like a Muay Thai. Listen. Don't do that Michael just don't do that. I'm sure he's a great athlete He's a beautiful kid. He's got a great body It looks like he knows how to box when he throws punches. It looks like he really actually knows how to box I'm sure he's a really good athlete. He's built a brick shithouse, right? Boxing Roy Jones jr. Is a preposterous. I don't know how to get what's the upside you never work again or You become a box. Yeah, you hang in there with them and you look like a hero I mean you clip them and hurt them I mean it is it is a humanly possible thing like when two people throw in punches at each other that one of them Can hit the other guy but the downside is the downside is just ruined Roy Jones jr. Is one of the greatest boxers of all time and still to this day Knows how to box. It's not like he forgot. How old is he? He's pushing 50 49. Yeah, he's pushing 50 Do you think you think somebody's somebody? Whose idea was I think he was just talking shit. He was just probably being asked like who would you like to box? Who's your hero? How many rounds though? Did that to go a certain amount? He said he would he asked him who would you want to fight today? And he said Roy Jones he would probably beat me in his prime But I'd probably fight him to death probably just like that is an outrageous thing to say It's an asshole thing to say George Foreman Listen, he probably would kill you in his prime when the idea that he would just beat you I mean Roy Jones jr. When he was in his prime you were just waiting to see he was in a Nas song they said Roy Jones is in the new Mike Tyson's Roy Jones It's in this is like in the 1990s people forgot how good Roy Jones jr. Was he was putting his hands behind his back? And then knocking people out he was doing ridiculous. She knocked out light heavyweight champion Virgil Hill with a body shot doing here It's so we so we can hear the context. Okay Let's listen to it After all your training for the Creed me you can hold your own in a fight I mean, I could do my thing a little bit, you know, I've been working out with Rocky looking out with like, you know Say like Apollo Creed. I'm gonna go my thing Absolutely. So now who all time would you want to step into the ring with whether it's a boxer wrestler? You know, I didn't like anybody like Roy Jones, bro. Right? You're a joint. That's my dude Do you hold your own I could do my thing a little bit? Yeah, I think right now but in his prom now He'll probably knock my ass out. But like right now I could do my thing Why answer that question? That's a He was hey Joe. Were you funnier than George Carlin in his prime? Can you just answer that? Right now since he did I know you've had a few drinks in the restaurant Worst question is something right now. I'm on coke cocaine. Let me answer some questions Roy Jones jr. Up But he said he was training with rocky that was the best part The black guy the black guy I mean black Panther too, he's awesome plays a good superhero. He's a great guy I love his movies. He was a good bad guy in that movie. But you know, it's like You just shouldn't answer that just made a mistake, you know young cocky Full life. Everything's going well, you know, and again built like a goddamn superhero. Yeah thinks you could box the world There's just a different thing that's gonna be happening if you're standing in front of Roy Jones jr. It's a different thing He's got a computer. That's many many times More robust than yours when it comes to box but just taking the punishment it's not like, you know, it's like, okay, that's enough It gives you a concussion and you never act For you By the way a 50 year old boxer looks at this actor pretty boy and it's like when they bought that when they brought What's his name out of the box and Pulp Fiction? Yeah, I mean he's Jack though. Look at him. He's built seriously built Wow But see the thing is like there's such a giant difference between learning how to box and being a good athlete like he clearly is and Being Roy Jones jr. The the gap is so wide It's so it's like if I did a movie about playing basketball and then I wanted to you know Play a one-on-one versus Kobe Bryant, you know, I've been playing this movie for a couple years now I'm feeling good. Even though I never did any competitive basketball You were in the white shadow looks like he got beat up He's got fake blood on his welts that was in the movie, I'm sure he knows how to throw his hands I'm sure he does. He looks good in the movies. He looks like he really knows what he's doing But Roy Jones jr. Is one of the greatest of all time. He was a Phenom he knows how to box in a way that you're never gonna understand So how long has he been since he boxed 10 years? I mean Roy Jones had a fight within the last two years Well, I think his last fight was I want to say it was two less than two years ago I think he retired he had a bunch of fights over in Russia. He actually became a Russian citizen Is that it this year Jesus Christ play some of it Play he's not just challenging a retired boxer. He's challenging a boxer. He's fucking Roy Jones jr. All right, just This is a different thing. It's one thing if you're like a top-level pro right now Wow, you feel like you would have got knocked out by Roy in his prime, but you can give him a go right now Okay, that I that is that's believable your professional boxer You've been honing your craft in the gym for years and years you've been sparring work with high-level coaches. Look at him He's still Roy Jones jr Still Roy Jones jr. Even though he's 40 He's boxing one's a boxer But Roy Jones is in a boxing match here and he's looking good I mean, he's obviously not fighting a guy who's the best in the world. So if you're right John's jr Do you call your your agent right now? See if the kids serious what's the money? He's already been doing all these interviews He said like I don't want to get out of bed early in the morning But if you know if he wants to really do this we could do this I mean for all it'd be a wonderful opportunity to show people what boxing is all. Oh, let me see what he said I would love to see that here. Let's hear what Roy says Of course, I saw the video First thing is, you know, I never ducked a fight in my life. I don't know nothing right never know Hurricane to come down here. So I am running from nobody if my compete was just real contact Roy Jones And we will make happen. Yes You got my number. He can contact you and get my number. So there's no question about how can I find? Get what's up from TMC let's make happen right now. He said in the video He said I think he would probably have killed me back in his prime That's true Though do you actually him any kid beat you now, even though you are 49 Roy? I know he can't beat me still because I Mean, I know he's probably better conditioned because he's younger He's gonna go probably think he can go longer and probably thinks he may be able to even out working now But I'm a bit of a oath. That's right. Oh, that ain't going out like that to have the heart I love you. I'm standing so I don't understand what boxing is So I'm not that's just take my right away because you don't get the experience of the box I'm a professional like I am and I know he's big and strong because you got strong for the movie Yeah, I should be able to pull all that Take him in a deep water. So he understand what a boxing match really? Yeah, he comes out He don't what I said. Oh, I got my first round. He wouldn't give his home. No, no, no, no I see what ladies I'm gonna need five six rounds at so I want you to see how it really feels So that's why I'm talking like that not because I think he can really match my skills I really don't even at 49 How long would you need Roy to get right to where you could step in there? Like what's the soon as we could make this fight happen? Probably for him about four or five weeks Dude, it's on It's on Michael. Please listen to me. Don't do this someone call stuff hub. Just don't do this This is this is not gonna work out Well, especially if they're I would assume both of them are not gonna be drug-tested I don't think either one of them wants to pee in a bucket If they if they just let Roy They let Roy go to dr. Feel good. Yeah, pop him up with hormones. This is gonna be a route This would be terrifying imagine. This is a new getting that call from this agent. Hey, we have an offer for you to do this Like new superhero movie. It's gonna be amazing. Michael's like I booked that whole five weeks Five weeks I got a train for Roy Jones jr. Like don't do it But this is a new this is a new genre of TV show of the real guy versus the guy playing in the movie I want to see doctors against guys who played a doctor. I see astronauts against guys who would think they're an astronaut I want to see it all Dinosaur versus chicken. I want to see it. Isn't that what Mark Wahlberg said if he was on the plane? Five versus did he did he really say that though? Yeah, that's what everybody says. I never heard
