What fight at Light Heavyweight showed Jones was unbeatable? :huh

He fought in an awful era at Light Heavyweight and never fought the champion of the Division.

Frazier.

Frazier could have beaten Kovalev from last night.

A skilful southpaw, who would have presented a stylistic problem.

You Roy Jones nuthuggers are all bat**** crazy. You inhabit an alternate reality to the the rest of us. A fantasy world where Roy's nauseatingly fragile glass jaw isn't forged out of the most brittle substance known to mankind.

You're all totally delusional. I think you all genuinely believe that if somebody were to swing a sledgehammer at a pane of glass it's the sledgehammer that's going to break and not the glass.

No one with a mandible as comically feeble as Jones is making it past the end of the third round against a puncher like Kovalev. A prime ie. roided Roy Jones was dropped hard by Lou Del Valle for Christ sake. Del Valle couldn't crush a grape with baseball bat yet he dropped Roy like a sack of potatoes with an innocuous looking love tap that made each one of Roy's chicken legs dance to two completely different pieces of music at the same time.

An Antonio Tarver who could only manage to stop a grand total of two other opponents in a seven year period, one of whom was a journeyman who was knocked out in every single one of his loses, dropped Roy like he'd been shot in the face with an elephant rifle.

I honestly think there's a very high probability that Roy's head would literally explode if Kovalev detonated one of his bombs on it. I'm being serious too.

Ya'll must've forgot.

Mods, ban this HATER!!

Ha!

Serge, did you enjoy the fight?

You're becoming one of my favourite posters on here.

You're moving up the P4P ladder, but Bailey's still at no.1

Thanks. lol

Yeah, I did. I'm really pleased for Kovalev. I'm also pleased for his manager Egis Klimas too. He basically paid for all of Sergey's living expenses out of his own pocket for three years while they were trying to hook up with a promoter. It's nice that they can both now finally enjoy the fruits of their labour.

I will reply to your post on the other thread soon.

I believe that what would keep Kovalev from executing a similar game plan against Jones is that Jones exploited positioning far quicker and with greater range than Hopkins. He'd explode from just outside reach to a well-leveraged punching angle, and then slide back out just far enough that it looks good to throw at him but you don't land. Dynamics seem to favor Roy pot-shotting with power punches over Kovalev seeking to preserve balance while cutting off the ring.

Now if Kovalev had exhibited a powerful and cunning Duran-esque pressure game against Hopkins we might argue a bit less toward Roy, but based on what we saw last night there's really nothing in evidence to say Roy has any problems here.

Another personality cult forms around a black American boxer.

We know they all walk on water, at least in their primes.

Prime Roy has no trouble with Kovalev. Probably KO's Kovalev in the middle rounds. I think people tend to forget how incredible Roy's skills were in his prime.

And I like Kovalev. I just don't think he could handle a prime Roy.

Roy was something else in his prime. I'm sure huggyboy Ruiz hit harder than Kovalev and he didn't ko Roy. But alas that was Roy's last great fight.

KOVALEV SHOULD HANG 'EM UP
He seems to be a family man and recently moved to Florida where he's
living the life of Riley
Don't go into the ring again, Kov, put your money into investments and get a normal job. I know you can do it, man.
Boxing's too brutal

RJJ toys with Kovalev in his prime.

Bhop beats Kovalev in his prime.

Did you actually watch Kovalev - Hopkins? Then you would've witnessed Kovalev getting stunned a few times by a 49 year old Hop who hasn't KO'ed anyone for 10 years. Now that appears to by a questionable chin.
