Rewatched Jones-Woods...

I think if Roy hadn't been DQ'd in that fight, he would of had a handsome 50-0 record. That's when he should of called it a day.

I've never had such an "I wish it went different" story since Roy Jones.

 

Love the entrance to this fight.

 

You're thinking of anther fight kid. He was only DQ'd once in his career and it wasn't against Clinton Woods.

 

What? No, I know. I'm saying he hadn't been DQ'd against Griffin there would've been no reason for a rematch, probably woulda fought someone else and would've been 50-0.

 

Hard to say but I'm inclined to agree. Roy was a very specail fighter with talents unmatched.

 

That DQ loss was never treated as loss to boxing fans, just like Golota's DQ losses to Bowe werent.

 

it was painful to watch the way he picked Woods apart.

at least Woods never lost his sense of humour with his little Ali shuffle!

 

Hes still in the top 10 for me. You don't look at the tail end of a persons career and claim it ruins everything they did, you look at their prime and what they accomplished in their peak.

I think in the current generation only Manny Pacquiao is set to surpass Roy Jones Jr's legacy. If Manny Pacquiao wins another title he will be in the top 10 ahead of Roy Jones Jr.

 

woods was a good solid fighter, but didn't travel well.before and during the jones fight, woods was found to have an iron defiiciency that weakened him.once he got this looked at, he went on the most successful run in his career, winning a world title and beating some of the best around.then came the tarver fight (who he should of beat) in america.this confirmed that woods wasn't comfortable when traveling.tarver had his way in the whole fight as woods put on the poorest performance of his career.this was basiclly the end of the road for woods.he had one more big fight in america against cloud and gave a good account of himself.but was beaten by the younger man.

all in all, he was a decent fighter who went further than his talent should of allowed him.

 

you have jones as a top ten ATG?

 

Woods wasnt very competitive when losing clearly to David Starie or losing to A Tarver

 

woods is c-level at best, just shows how bad glen johnson was if he lost to a plodder like woods :deal

did jones pass all drugs tests for this fight? :smooch

 

:rofl

I can't believe people still give Calzaghe heat for never fighting Glen Johnson. Johnson is a journeyman plodder with a catalogue of defeats, including to Omar Sheikah, who the Italian Dragon decimated within 5 rounds of boxing brilliance. :bush:freddy:gun:beat:dance:bat1
