WAS CHRIS BYRDS KO@ LGHT HEAVY Evidence that Weight Loss effected ROy Jones?

i think that big right hand is what ended his night. he did seem a little slow though. ugly ko too felt bad to see him go out like that!

 

No.
But if you belive that.

Then Fernando Vargas has legit reason for losing his big fight's
after ballooning to +200lbs after each of his fight's.
Imagine shrinking all the way down to 154, 160, 168 ect....
[More weight than Jones Jr. had to lose]

Same with Roberto Duran, Riddick Bowe ect..
Just an excuse used by Jones Jr. true or not, it's still an EXCUSE.

 

let's not forget that there's a strong possibility that some illegal substances may have had a lot to do with Roy Jone's downfall.

I mean, if you come off that **** too fast all sorts of bad things can happen.

 

They did not have to lose muscle.

 

Theres no question or doubt that it effected him. The quality of the mass and conditioning that both men lost wsa drastic. Byrds was even more dramatic as at a late stage in his life he lost close to 40lbs and he looked horrible. His face looked gaunt he had no punch resistance and his body was accustomed and climatised to a weight that he`d been at for well over a decade.

Jones was the same. Bearing in mind he was a solid 200lbs he had no business coming back down to 75 thats just insane. Im 235lbs. My lean bodyweight with no fat is 198lbs. That means i cant make 200lbs or even i choose too it would be far too dangerous. My conditioning doesnt have a fraction on an ATG like Jones so i dread to think the trauma his body was going through.

 

Jones never should have moved down. Of course it affected him. Pre-Ruiz no one could touch him at LH. Post Ruiz his reflexes lost just enough to make him hittable. I like Glen Johnson more than most fighters but I don't think he would have touched the pre-Ruiz Jones. Jones became ordinary over night when he dropped all that carefully sculpted muscle mass.:smoke :smoke

 

Anything and everything is possible. Who knows honestly. Dropping a lot of weight does effect all fighters just effects some differently than others.

hatesrats, the only difference I see is that Roy Jones put on weight to 200lbs of pretty much solid muscle, I mean there wasn't that much fat involved. It's not like he pulled a James Toney and put on all the blubber to make HW. If he was starching muscle mass (ass opposed to Vargas/Hatton etc burning off burritos and beer) Than that would be much more devastating.

 

Vargas balooned to 200lbs plus of blubber. Thats a BIG BIG and significant diffrent. Weight isnt quantified by its poundage. Its qauntified by its type and condition. IE a lb of muscle and a lb of fat are clearly not the same. When muscles begin to atrophy through catabolisation which is what Byrd and Jones would have gone through it has massive negative impacts on your overall performance. Thats a FACT.

 

'Roids is a hella of a drug.
It ruins everything it builds.

I defo agree with the blubber vs. Muscle tho no question.

 

Losing fat != Losing Muscle

 

O please. Any form of Hormones does NOT make you a more skilled fighter. The effects of hormone use in a boxing ring are minimal when compared to other sports espcially if the hormones are anabolic. Hormones can be out of your system within days so coming off it too "quickly" is NOT a factor in the slightest as well as your lack of knowledge on hormone abuse.

 

Care to explain?:roll:
