He explains all in this....... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4DF6e9Bt39s roy interview starts at 5.40.......
Depend solely how much the speed and power would have troubled Joe.because i agree that prime Roy could have made Joe look ordinary,not arguing that all.just to happen think Joe could be all over Roy full 12rounds and it,would be too much for Roy.of course Joe would be underdog going this fight,this just happens to be one of the cases where i give slight advantage to underdog,if it's making any sense. Joe ia greatly underrated in general,but hey,no one to blame but Joe on that.should have went overseas way earlie.Joe was capable of doing great thinks
No version of Joe beats a prime Jones even he knew that ..This is why he wanted nothing to do with him when it mattered ..He had this mysterious fear of flying but once Jones was Ko Ed and lost several steps he was cured ..We know Jones is Joe's idol
Roy's a fighter, it's what he knows, without it he has nothing. I'm okay if he's fighting bums.. at least he's not getting hurt.. but the man is doing what he loves.
