    oi Joe.Boxer

    Man up and answer this.

    Who was the best LHW in the world, DM or RJJ?

    State your answer and get owned either way.

    No one outside of Germany ever gave a **** about DM and if it weren't for Roy Jones haters nobody outside of Germany would have said his name in the last 10 years.

    I believe Roy was always taking advantage of his weak competition. I seriously don't see how dropping weight whether it be fat or muscle coukld permanently deteriorate someone's reflexes, stamina, power, speed etc. I think it's bullcrap. He went up in weight and picked the worst, most untalented Heavyweight belt holder in recent years to fight and somehow expected people to regard him as the best ever. Ru frikkin serious??? Thatn goes down to light heavy and gets KTFO. Roy was like the harlem globetrotters of boxing, a whole lot of flash but when it came time to face a good boxer he could'nt step up. One of the best entertainers ever though.

    You just a hater and don't know how the human body works. Even Makie Shilstone the guy that helped Bulk Roy up to HW and Jones used him again for Tarver 2 but the damage was already done from the weight lost from first fight.

    You was you talking about physical damages that you didn't believe can happen. I proved to you from the guy that worked with him that there was damages trying to lose that weight. Which is why he wanted to Roy to stay at HW and not move down. Hey we can agree to disagree.

    then explain how Jones went all the way down to Super Middleweight AFTER this and did fine going 12 rounds a few times with no issues :huh

    The guy has a Glass Jaw it has nothing to do with any of this other crap and excuses when Roy gets hit on his Chin he goes to sleep. Jones has no Chin. None.

    Losing that much muscle at that age is awful. It's simple physiology. Jones was already a small light heavy let alone jumping to heavy then back down.

    See Chris Byrd also

    Makes no sense if you are blaming it on weight for him to get savagely and embarrassingly KOed at Light Heavyweight and not Super Middleweight.

    It is because the weight had NOTHING to do with it. He has a Glass Jaw.
