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

thats when hopkins was not even a dedicated fighter and lost his first fight

check much later in his career when he weighed 156 v de la hoya and conceded that he could even make 54


bhop was a weight class below joe for the vast majority of his career, the smaller man no less

No you

 

:rofl:rofl:rofl

 

Great thread Bailey.

I discovered a **** load of interviews where Roy himself ADMITTED to not wanting risks because he was scared of going into a coma.

Ironically that day draws every near now.

 

To answer the thread question.

Yes he did. First off let's cut the bull**** and stop lying that RJJ was shot against Tarver or Johnson. He wasn't.
He was a massive favorite going into the Tarver I fight and looked pretty good. It was the closest fight of his life, but he held his own to a extent. Tarver was exposing numerous flaws that Roy always had (it was never exposed before because Roy avoided most of the top competition)

Roy Jones Jr's fighting style is actually quite simplistic for any top fighter to break down, and Tarver was well on his way to figuring Roy out.
The 2nd fight, Roy came in doing the EXACT same thing he always did and got brutally knocked the Hell out. That was an ELITE Roy.
Roy was still ELITE against Johnson and he also got beaten badly.


Roy seem to have regained much of his luster against Lacy and Trinidad. But that was just a mirage.

 

Are you serious?

Jones's style is a modified version of Ali's and has all the strengths and weaknesses of that style.
Its really to be used by young guys, fighters pushing 40 have no business using that style, which is why Ali and Jones started to take beating late in their repsective careers.

 

:---(

 

Roy beat all kinds of fighters on Tarver and Johnson's level... Including Harding, who came off of a win of Tarver.

Roy Jones declined, the competition did not change.

 

Tarver lost to Harding..and was losing to him again before landing the KO

Johnson was 4-4-2 in his last 10 fights...with losses to Sheika,Gonzalez, and Harmon. Guys Roy had already beaten. lol

All of the guys fought at LHW were C to B- level fighters. There was no step up in competition or "top guys"

Hell, DM fought a lot of the same fighters. Richard Hall(After he was KO'd by Roy), Montell Griffin(After being KO'd by Roy and losing to Tarver), and Gonzalez(who lost every round to Roy)

 

Jones was done by the time he fought Calzaghe. He got koed by C+ level Danny Green 3 fights later.

I could go over it point by point, but what is the point? Your going to ignore everything I posted and just repeat the same old argument anyway
