How shot do you think Roy Jones is now after recent fights?

RJJs last great fight was against Ruiz, which ended his career due to the weight gain and subsequent weight loss.

He would have beaten Tarver handily in his prime.

 

..............

 

He's clearly not shot. Glen Johnson would have always had his number. Danny Green would have been too much for even Ali that night and Lebedev showed how great he was by destroying ENzo Maccarenelli.(welsh boxers are just the best, regardless of resume or notable wins.)

 

And while Jones was past best going into Tarver 2 (not to mention dealing with weight issues), that KO pretty much ruined him. It took away his mental edge in all subsequent fights.

 

He beat him fair and square in the first fight even though he looked like **** psychically.

Bailey if Jones Jnrs run before Calzaghe was so **** how come he never got back into the p4p ranks after the Johnson loss?

and how come Calzaghe didnt want a piece of him when he was schooling policemen? Even Clinton Woods had the sack Joe didnt because as he said directly about Jones Jnr he knew his limitations and would need the crown jewels.

Name a fighter today that would get off with saying that about a prospective fight? Floyd comes out and says i won't fight Pac i know my limitations???!!! he'd get violated on here and rightly so.

 

:rofl:rofl:rofl that's exactly the answer bailey's looking for!

 

bailey i cant even tell if your a troll surely its clear to see that since roy jones was knocked out hes gone dramatically down hill and thats all there is too it.

 

:rofl:rofl:rofl

 

I dont think you understand what the term shot means.

 

Jones lost his hunger for the ko long before Tarver1 therefore he wasn't prime anymore.
His stamina,legs etc was shitty at Tarver 1
Tarver 2 his body was healthier but his punch resistance gone, Tarver couldn't touch him in the First round barely landed like 5 punches, mostly jabs.
Round 2 knockout, Jones gets up in time, but refery waves off the fight.
Tarver 3 Jones was mentally broke, in the fifth round he showed glances of his former self and for the rest of the fight he was punch shy. He managed to average 25 punches a round, if you don't count measuring jabs you land around 15-18 punches per round and those had no intention in them.

Jones still can beat some b fighter at light heavyweight. Cruiserweight is definately not his weightclass.
Remember he went as a pro from super welterweight up to heavyweight and 200pounds.
After that he went down to 164 at Trinidad time, thats 36 pounds. After that he again went up to 200 pounds Lebedev time.
In my pinion Jones should have stayed at super middle weight, he was a beast there and could knock everybody out.
Beating aging Benn,Eubank,Collins would have cemented his legacy anyways. Micalcewski and Calzaghe would never be as hyped as today, still they are solid world champions.

 

beyond shot

 

well jones scraped through against tarver at first ask was hardly a dominant jones we were used to, jones beat a fat out of shape blown up trinidad, as for sheika hes the type of fighter a prime jones would master with ease so now hes old and shot he can still put a beating on the guy doesnt seem out of the norm to me, now id say jones never had the best chin, his athleticism and skill kept this from us now hes aged and slowed down its exposed more often so i say hes very much shot

 

Oh God. Jones is beyond shot now. Aside from embarrassing himself and detracting from his legacy, he's seriously jeopardising his long term health.

Quit now Roy - you're not going to miraculously improve now.

In his prime, Jones was simply stupendous. I just wish he'd rematched Hopkins and fought Calzaghe in 2002. He was already past his prime then, and no guarantee he would have won. Good fights though in 2002, particularly against Calzaghe...
