So Roy Gets His Glass Jaw Shattered Again?

Absolute biggest props possible for calling Roy Jones glass jaw BEFORE the Tarver fight.

There is no doubt in my mind now, Prime Calzaghe would have stopped Prime Roy Jones.

Roy Jones career has all been smoke and mirrors and has fooled everyone. He avoided big punchers, avoided the best competition available in Eubank, Nunn, Benn, Collins, Watson, Calzaghe, DM.

Lets take a look at the facts. Roy Jones 3 best wins are considered to be Bhop, Toney and Ruiz. Bernard Hopkins has developed into a great fighter because of his ring intelligence and adaptability, 2 attributes that he hadnt developed when he fought Jones, when Bhop fought Roy Jones he was just another fighter and not an ATG like he is today.

Roy Jones fought a Toney so unmotivated that he was still 50lbs overweight with 3 weeks left for the fight.

Instead of making a real statement by going up to heavyweight and beating a champion, he went for the weakest beltholder possible - Jones decides to fight feather-fisted John Ruiz who most LHW/SMW's today would beat.

A prime Calzaghe who did not just have the workrate and adaptability he has now but had real power in both his hands, like it or not Calzaghe used to be a banger and thats why I rate him so highly because he had to totally change his style to overcome a severe physical disadvantage and still managed to remain at the top.

We saw a prelude to what would happen when Calzaghe EMBARRESSED Roy Jones last year, it would go the same way except it would end in an early stoppage.

 

Fair enough.:good

I know this might sound crazy but I think Silva would beat Roy (of today) due to Roy's habbit of sitting on the ropes, poor pivotal and lateral movement, and your favorite attribute, his chin...Dont get me wrong...Roy would have destroyed Silva or even this Danny Green guy years ago but thats in the past...I'm not trying give Roy **** but as of now, Roy is totally shot and I dont think he needs to fight on.

 

Except for it didn't end with an early stoppage when jones was so significantly past his best that he should never have survived the fight let alone had his moments....speaking of had his moments are we talking about the same Calzaghe that struggled for the first half of his fight with Kessler...the same guy that just got completely embarassed by Ward...yeah if you want to talk about over rated...or a career being smoke and Mirrors you might want to start with that guy.

 

rico what do you think ove valuevs chin after being wobbled by haye?

 

God, this is terrible news. :-((

I expected Roy to school Green in a sort of Jeff Lacy fashion.

 

I love it,never an oppurtunity lost to diss "Wicky"

 

Who had Valuev been wobbled against previously?

 

Jones was so quick he was able to move his head in his prime and dodge punches. I still think he's one of the best boxers. He was always entertaining to watch.

 

lol at the tags

 

Am I the only one who thinks this was a premature stoppage?

 

good post:thumbsup
