Did Roy Jones start losing at LHW when his competition stepped up?

Bailey I would take you more serious if you didn't suck off Calzaghe. All your threads exist because of Calzaghe, so your objective or agenda is solely based on some fanboyism of him. For instance, if RJJ was a English fighter, you'd be talking about how he is one the greatest ever. Or if RJJ was never ever in the same weight division as Calzaghe, didn't fight him when he was old and washed up, but was lets say, a WW or a cruiser weight... just anything but SMW, you would never make such threads.

It's really weird, how much people suck off fighters. RJJ was a great fighter, a real ATG... and his resume is quite solid, had Calzaghe had this resume, you'd be making the argument about how he is top 20 ATG or more. Calzaghe's resume is decent, but despite his resume, subpar power, and big nose, he had ATG skills.... even though people say he slaps, he was quick and had a lot of swagger when he fought, unlike most of the British fighters. And it wouldve been a absolute hell of a fight if RJJ and Calzaghe happened to have fought at their prime.

 

Amazing mauling from Team Elite. Champagne posting.happy

 

Anyone can do this to a persons resume. It's easy. Toney was superb win and Toney beat some good fighters at SMW, whom if they were on Calzaghe's record you would be overrating them. Toney was being picked to beat RJJ btw, and some seen it as a toss up.

Another good win for Jones at light Heavy weight that is often overlooked is Merquei Sosa. The stoppage was premature, even though Sosa was falling over and getting Knockdown, he had a good chin and good recovering skills, so he should've got a chance, despite getting pummeled and being really dazed in the 2nd round.

 

you can use boxrec to try and make any boxer look bad.

You making the point that RJJ's losses came because his competition stepped up.

I agree with that partially, but I reckon the main reasons were:-

- The drop down from HW to LHW.
- Over the hill.

RJJ was a fighter that relied mainly on his athleticism, and less on his boxing brain. When he showed signs of him not being in prime form, he didnt know what to do because all he relied was on his athleticism throughout his career.

I can see this because I watched RJJ's fights instead of boxrec'ing.

- Shaky chin
- Confidence shaken up by Tarver KO + Glen Johnson KO.
- Shot fighter.

When RJJ cant KO a WW Felix Trinidad, that shows he is shot. And Prince Badmu and that other brear Harding. These guys would have been slaughtered by a Pre HW RJJ, but RJJ only UD them.

 

I've been conducting some scientific research at the team elite laboratory's in moscow today and have come up with the following findings Bailey.





when analysing roy jones career, you must distinguish between

firstly we must understand why a fighter takes banned anabolic steroids in the first place = a boxer takes banned anabolic steroids because they are scared to fight on a level playing field, they feel the need to cheat to gain an unfair advantage over their opponents because they are too cowardly to fight off a level playing field without manufactured advantages.

now look at the appalling level of fighters jones faced after being caught red handed for banned anabolic steroids in the hall fight

- eric harding
- derick harmon
- gonzalez
- glen kelly
- clinton woods
- john ruiz (handpicked heavyweight, slow, no power)

absolute bog standard level of opposition - even a clean jones could beat this standard of opposition


then jones gets slaughtered when he steps up his level of competition for the 1st time as a clean fighter versus tarver and johnson

after these defeats as a clean fighter, jones again fights low level opposition, just like before in his disgraceful 175 reign and surprise surprise . . . . . . he wins

- ajamu
- hanshaw
- washed up trinidad


a clean roy jones then steps up his competition again v calzaghe and is systematically dismantled by joe calzaghe in one of the biggest one sided beatdowns ever witnessed on american soil


then jones goes back to his usual level of competition and the victorys roll on just like his appalling 175 reign

- washed up lacy
- sheika


if the performance that roy produced against lacy was from before he tested positive for banned anabolic steroids, roys fanboys would hold it aloft alongside his performances against the likes of the legendary dave talesco or 135lb bum vinny pazienza. the lacy performance was 'superman' at his very best.

You don't post facts, maybe facts in your own mind.

 

Right so a prime Roy Jones would struggle with Anthony Hanshaw?
Headbanger - tbh I think Jones still takes roids but he's clearly past his best.

 

why u hating for

You cant dispute the facts i told, because you aint watched RJJ fight until he fought Calzaghe.

**** you never knew RJJ was black until the RJJ Calzaghe press conference.

Those facts i layed out cant be dealt with by a person who only watches boxrec and no fight footage.

Watch these instead
