Author Topic: The Richard Jones Comeback - 2009 Ironman? (Read 3987 times)

They just said on PBW that Richard Jones is on the comeback trail. Seriously thinking about the 2009 Ironman. Wasn't he Shawn Ray's prodigy way back when? Why did he quit so young? (maybe because he's smart?) How old is he now?

I heard he quit to go back to school and get his MBA, not a bad choice at all. He looked unreal at the 2002 USA and I hope he can come back and look as good as he did then.

there as been a rumor about his comeback since early 2005

I doubt it will happen

He doesnt look tall enough to play in the NBA.

Saw him at the 04? NOC, he was good but couldn't beat Darrem Charles and def. not Melvin Anthony.

If he comes back he's gonna have to bring something new because lots of guys are improving.

Richard Jones should stay retired. He curses getbig the last time he posted here. He melted down here the last time he posted. He would be a damn fool to come back

It was nice seeing Richard Jones again, and yes, he completed his MBA and is doing well. He came to visit the Fit Expo because he is interested in competing again, but has not completely made up his mind yet. If he does, it will be for the 2009 Ironman.

How did he look Ron ?

Saw Richard at the Expo shooting the shit with Melvin Anthony at the Weider booth. Didn't have a chance to meet him though. There were lots of people around him alot. But he looked good & healthy. Didn't look too big standing next to Melvin though.

Personally, I'd like to see him up there again.

since you saw him, would you say that he is still on the sauce?

bigmikecox · « **Reply #15 on:** February 19, 2008, 06:32:36 PM »

He had a great physique. Very classical, no gut, great shape.

Livewire · « **Reply #16 on:** February 19, 2008, 06:42:51 PM »

No, I think someone melted down, because he didn't. And because the females were giving Jones a lot of love. He was as chill as all get out

he said we here, at Getbig, don't give him no love. If someone could find that post, it would be nice

well, I do remember him saying that he won't post here anymore, because of some idiots here making smart comments about him. I think he was taking it a little too personal here. after all, this is the Almighty GETBIG, lots of love.

I don't think you're retiring for good however; you shifted your priorites for a while to accomplish something beyond but it'll bite again.

Conclusive proof Alex has been back to the future.

Heath will destroy him.

The time is right for Rocco to come back. The 202 weight classes are popping up and Rocco won't have to destroy his internal organs to compete. Team Rocco is back.
