Roy Jones Jr

Roy is shot to ****, its only because he was such a phenom that he's even able to continue to compete and dominate b level fighters.

the man should just cash out and hang them gloves up, the thing is because Roy was a athletic phenom, his prime was gonna be spectacular but the fall was always gonna be big. Moving up to heavyweight at that age and putting on all that muscle then stripping it so soon brought on his demise quicker.

Once his athleticism went he was gonna struggle because he never had the fundamantal base to fall back on unlike people like bernard and toney who remain relevent without that roy jones fade.

Having said that Roy can still beat and compete with many fighters at 175 apart from the very elite, bad chad would've give the prime roy jones problems with his style and distroys him at this stage. If roy is to continue then i won't mind if he just picked fighters like lacy and other B levels, because then he make money, not get hurt and satisfy whatever crave he still has, but we all know he'll beat a couple more b levelers, get a big fight, get beatup and then "rebuild" again and thats the worry.

 

Someone has just made a thread saying he would smash Hopkins. This place is unbelievable at times.

 

Roy Jones is one of the most amazingly talented fighters I've ever seen in his day. Now his day is long gone. I really don't want to see him box anymore, because it's just a matter of time before something bad happens to him.

Sure he looks good when facing a blown up, inactive Trinidad or Jeff Lacy, who has been a walking punchbag for several years now. It is opposition that is carefully and delibirately selected.

 

If he can still beat up the Jeff Lacy's of this world with absolute ease, he could probably compete with the lower top 10 175lb'ers and certainly Danny Green.

So he's not exactly shot or there are a lot of shot fighters by those standards, it just seems that way because its such a fall from his prime years.
