Hmm first I thought to myself hey this hype is getting out of hand then I understood that RJJ didn't was at his best at MW and was his best at SMW. Obviously RJJ can be hurt and I can't say the same thing for GGG. I think RJJ takes it via UD.
And that's by a feather fister. Just imagine what a triple G bomb would do to it :shock::shock::shock::shock:
Roy was EXTREMELY athletic, what he did was wait on the outside with his feet and body set to deliver a quick punch. His hands were down to lure people in for a punch, but he used his speed to get there first. He popped in and out and tried to avoid brawling or inside exchanges. Guys like Glen Johnson don't duck for cover during an ambush, they flip the switch to full auto and get in the Ambushers face. This is how you handle an ambush fighter. Remember Glen vs. Roy? Gennady uses his balance, strength, pressure, and angles to make sure you can't set up an ambush. He is constantly applying pressure to keep you off balance (as a defense) and then watching for opportunities to deliver hurtful shots as his offense.
Good post, but GGG has never dealt with anyone with Roy's speed as of yet, and the Glen Johnson fight doesn't prove a deal. Glen Johnson would have been easy work in my opinion, at any point pre Ruiz. Roy came back in against Glen, just three months after the Tarver knockout, because he wanted to fight again as soon as possible. But it was a huge mistake. Now anyone can get caught. If Glen had've caught Roy like Tarver did, then fair enough, it can happen to anyone. But Glen dominated the whole fight and won every round. There was something clearly not right with Roy. I love Glen and everything he stands for. But he simply wasn't good enough to dominate Roy Jones. Who ever dominated Roy? Roy beat Malinga, Hopkins, Toney, Griffin, Reggie, Hill, Gonzalez, Harding, Woods, Ruiz and Tarver. He beat all of those guys, some with absolute ease, yet a guy like Glen (I'm not being disrespectful) goes and dominates him? Roy was out cold for minutes, and the shot wasn't even that hard. Roy had taken harder shots than that before. The ringside Doctor stated that Roy was so dehydrated, he should never have been anywhere near a boxing ring. So in my opinion, that tells us nothing. Roy clearly wasn't fighting to his full capabilities, and he was 35, and had fought over 50 times. Glen dominated Roy, and then went and lost to Clinton Woods. It doesn't add up. Fred Levin, who used to handle Roy back in the 90's, said "It's sad to see Roy like this. Fifty per cent of the old Roy would have beaten Glen Johnson." I have to agree with his statement. The Roy who fought at MW, and the version who got dominated by Glen Johnson, were two COMPLETELY DIFFERENT fighters.
