Yes you definitely are missing something. Jones had zero fundamentals ? He dominated his division in the Seoul Olympics and everybody, including his opponent, believes he was robbed of a gold medal. Turning pro, he, for all practical purposes went 49-0 winning titles in Middlewt, Super middlewt, LHWt and heavyweight, defeating four or five ATGs in the process. He could have retired, at 35 with only a questionable DQ to blemish is record, a blemish he banished with a vengeance, scoring a first round KO over Griffin. (IMO, he could have ended many of his fights much earlier than he did. In fact, a good number of his opponents, he could have stopped in any round he chose) Had he retired after Ruiz, or even Tarver 1, he would be in a lot of folks' top ten list. Jones had zero fundamentals ? He was unconventional and did rely on the gifts he had, but he's very clearly and ATG, as other ATG victims BHOP, Toney, McCallum, Hill etc could explain to you. Like I said, Bivol is very good, even great, but Roy was better.
The disprespect of near peak RJJ (175 lbs) is becoming criminal. RJJ makes Bivol look like a nobody and everyone would complain he fought nobody. Are all the haters of RJJ only newbies (sans Zakman) and never saw his peak/prime? PEAK RJJ was in the argument for da GOAT, like MJ, Woods, level.
Two points: The Roy who lost to Calzaghe was well past prime. I don't think Bivol has no chance. Somebody that good ALWAYS has a chance. But watch Roy's LHW fights. Bivol has a small chance.
