    every great fighter in history like ali, leonard, mayweather, pacquiao, hagler, arguello etc had a plan B. did roy jones have one? why couldn't roy jones adapt after his reflexes went?

    I am not talking about Roy.... I want to know this post prime plan B you are talking about that Pac and Mayweather were able to apply.

    Or are you just talking out of your ass as usual.:lol:

    it means - if things arnt going the way you wanted, then you can change your game plan and produce a different strategy to get you the victory like mayweather or calzaghe. why couldn't roy change his game plan?

    Because Roy never had any fundamentals to fall back on he relied exclusively on freakish speed and athleticism and when those reflexes declined even in a small percantage then he was always gonna have problems.

    Fighters like Ali relied on reflexes but also had some fundamentals like a proper jab, rolled with punches, proper positioning and footwork etc Roy never had to learn the fundamentals EVERYTHING was unorthodox and predicated on speed also other fighters you mentioned had a better ratio of athleticism and speed to foundations then Roy, by that i mean Jones was 100% reflexes while those fighters where like 60-40 70-30 so it had less impact on them losing those reflexes.

    Roy Jones was always gonna have a more spectacular peak then people like Hopkins for example, but less sustainability as his attributes leave you quicker, becoming a boxer woulda been his plan B but those tools weren't there.

    He did, off the top of my head he had to change his game plan to win the first fight with Tarver.... His game plan changed in the second Griffin fight from the first. All the other times he was either dominating the fight and didn't have to change or just way past his prime.

    Fact doesn't support your horrible theory either... because Roy has lost fights where plan A didn't work and was not knocked out.

    I looked at your profile, but it doesn't say your age.... Just out of curiosity, how old are you?:huh
