    Apart from he two knock downs, 1 questionable, Roy Jones gave Bernard Hopkins a harder fight than Jean Pascal.

    Pretty cool, I'm a big fan of Roy when he's doing commentary. He knows his stuff, he's articulate enough to get it across well, and he's entertaining.

    To be honest, and not cruel, surely Freddie Roach's slurred speech renders him useless as being a analyst?

    Jones needs to attend enunciation classes.His speech is somewhat affected by his lack of education and his "homeboy" street talk.:patsch

    I remember watching some fights when he was commentating a few weeks back, and the guy is extremely knowledgeable about boxing, on more than one occasion he called how a fight would end perfectly several rounds before it happened.
