I agree with this I hate when people say this. Roy was trained by his father and learned all the fundamentals of boxing. It’s just that RJJ created his own style, once RJJ got older and dropped that weight it slowed his reflexes down. So he can’t do the things he used to do. But to say Roy don’t have no fundamentals is ludicrous especially the way he can break down fights/fighters as a commentator. He knows the boxing game inside and out. He just chooses not to change and adapt his style for being slower and being easier to hit now.

In some fights he adapted his style pretty well, like when he fought Tito, he was nervous about Tito’s punching power early on so he did the Winky Wright style of defense kept his hands up and the same thing in the Lacy fight early on. He win’s the fights then he gets ****y for his next match ala Joe C, Green. Then reverts back to his old ways thinking he’s back in his prime and usually pays for it.

I'd like to see them rematch if Danny can regain a belt, this time in the United States where there is no 2 hour delay AFTER the hands being wrapped, where they don't apply no adhesives that are known to HARDEN to the hand wraps 2 hours prior to the fight, yea I'd like to see that. even if he did beat Jones again at least he'd erase that doubt that still lives in a few peoples minds

the Lebedev loss was just that, a loss. people lose and people win and on that night against that man Jones lost and I don't believe there was any foul play but the Green fight? I still got my questions on that one.

Someone give a paper title to sum chump and let roy UD him please. Although I have to say roy sounds the same as he did at 25, no slurring or anything. He's still quick witted which is a good sign.

He's a grown man he knows what is good for him, if he wants to fight on then who cares.

Its not like he is taking these fights for nothing he gets a lot of money for them.

I'd give the shot version of Roy Jones a good shot at winning one against Huck because of how I see their styles clashing. The problem lies in Roy having to get a decision in Germany against a popular German fighter and Huck's strength could overwhelm him if Huck lands a good shot.

Other than that, I don't like his chances against the other Cruiserweight titleholders. Hard to win at the top level if you have to spend rounds on end on the ropes because your legs are shot.

Well I hear that's one of the reason why he keeps on fighting he needs money now to pay off the IRS. The HBO job does not pay as much as if he was boxing so that is why you see RJJ doing more promotional things (Body By Vi, Get in the Game) now then he ever has done in the past when he was on top of his game.

Another loss
