Why wasn't Roy Jones Jr. - James Toney More Competitive?

I remember James stating he had to lose an enormous amount of weight the week b4 the fight. I can't remember if it was 20 or 40 lbs. Of course if that's the case it's his own fault. Biggest fight of his life and that's how he handles it lol.

 

Yeah, two lbs heavier than the fight before and four respectively two heavier than the fights with Peter. So pretty much the same weight for four fights in a row, three of them big fights. Quite predictable, I'd say.

 

Well thats on him if true.

No one made him be a fat unprofessional slob. If he lets himself go that much leading into the biggest fight of his career then he’s an imbecile and deserved the whipping he got.

I’ve got no sympathy for him and I’ll continue to give Jones props for the win. Fancy getting your self in shape for Anthony Hembrick and Prince Charles Williams but letting yourself go for prime RJJ! What a ****ing idiot lol

 

Both these men were magnificent and frustrating in their own respective ways.

Why didn't Jones just take his talent and go for broke?

Why didn't Toney develop a work ethic?

Both are great, but both should have been much more.
