I think you're missing the point.
The question I responded to was, "whats wrong with wanting to be like Roy Jones", to paraphrase.
The majority of boxers don't have Roy Jones natural athletic abilities to shun fundamentals the way he did.
yeah, your right about that. My bad. **** I completely misunderstood what was happening here. lol:You_Rock_
yeah if you don't have rjj's speed and athletic ability, don't fight like him.
Thats what I'm saying. My point is, he got away with it for almost a decade and a half. Thats a long time, so the lesson here is, if your that kind of a fighter...and your great at it...fine....but don't try to fight past the age of 32-33, because your going to get beat if you do.

Roy Jones doesn't have the fundamentals necessary to be effective late. That is pretty common knowledge. Its not a slight on Roy at all, just the truth.

He didn't lose for 14 years. So I think the lesson here is, don't fight into your mid thirties if your a speed/reflex fighter.

Your point for this stupid thread?
I mean people need to stop it with these god damn useless threads.
He probably idolizes Roy Jones. :nonono:

if dawson is a wanna be jones then calz should want to fight him... oh yeah, that's right, he isn't shot or a senior citizen...
I see few similarites between Chad Dawson and Roy Jones Jr. They both fought Glen Johnson and Antonio Tarver. Also, they both fought at 175, and they are both black.
Thats where the similarities stop. strange thread.
