Have you ever seen a fighter looking as 'shot' as the current Roy Jones?

    Good shoutout for Bowe there. If the guy he faced that night had been anywhere near a good fighter, Bowe would've been carried out on a stretcher that night.

    And I've seen plenty of horrendously shot fighters in my time, but the one that stands out the most is Antwon Echols. Saw him fight some mediocre journeyman on ESPN2 a while back and his legs wobbled around with almost literally every punch his opponent landed. What was equally as depressing was the fact that he seemed to have lost all his power at that point. Sad for a man who was probably the most powerful puncher at 160 in his prime.

    Usually those posts start off with "My god, the greatest boxer of all time, untouchable, immaculate, who could beat anybody that ever lived with one hand tied to his waist, has come to this!?"

    He looked absolutely terrible... No legs, horrible balance, even his hand speed seems to be slowing down.

    Power is the last thing to go. When a guy loses his punch, you know he has lost everything else. Roy is at that point now, just like Tyson against McBride or Echols, as someone mentioned above.

    Even the version of Jones that beat Hanshaw would dominate today's Roy. It's sad and incredibly depressing. Just file for bankruptcy, if necessary. I won't watch his fights live but did watch the replay, and this definitely is the most decrepit he has ever looked in the ring. Please retire, Roy.

    no, he's in peak form, it's just his competition is finally stepping up (cf. bailey).

    Let's make Toney v Jones 2 if they are gonna keep fighting. We could make up an ABC title for them too. Winner fights Enzo Mac.

    :rofl bailey is by far the worst poster on this forum... at least some of the chinckeckers are funny, bailey is completely delusional, and his man crush on Calzaghe blinds his judgement.

    Toney has to be the definition of shot.

    I don't have the heart to look up the video where he is slobbering and spraying as he speaks.

    Honestly, Roy Jones even now has some moments in his fights that impress me and teach me something. His performance against Ledbedev (before the KO) was a testament to his fundamental skill-set and Ring IQ. He looks shot 90 percent of the time, and it's sad, but I've seen worse.

    Now Mosley, that's a fighter that looks absolutely hopeless in the ring and can't even throw punches right anymore.

    Mosley can't pull the trigger but he can still take a shot.

    Unfortuantly I agree. He seemed- fragile.
