i dont think roys first loss has valid excuses.....

You still wont make Floyd better than roy by saying this. Roy won a fuking HW title, come back to me when floyd wins a piece of the LHW belt. Thanks. lolz who said anything about Floyd man? You were the one who brought him up.

ppl say that he had lost 25 lbs of pure muscle, which is true, for tarver-jones I. however, he go knocked out in their second fight, a fight in which roy looked like vintage roy in round 1. i dont hold that weight loss bs as a valid excuse because he had already beat tarver prior to the ko loss. had he lost in their first meeting, then the excuse would be more of a reason. Roy looked like shit in the 1st fight with Tarver and many people thought he lost. Thats why there was a second fight.....he was never the same after he came down.

Roy just caught a lucky punch, i mean who could've thought that Tarver would KTFO Roy in 2 rounds Yes i belirve that after that he lost his confidence, not the same superspeed RJJ of the old agree 100%

That's his second loss officially. Sometimes your body just doesn't recover from the weight loss, Jones was showing a little slippage a few years prior but nothing major, the weight loss probably accelerated his decline. I agree, the weight loss was probably unrecoverable. but also the devastating KO really hurt roy's confidence.

I don't care what sport you are in, losing 25lbs of muscle and still being able to compete at a high level is almost impossible.Roy should have taken more time off.That's why he looked so tired and slower in the first fight with Tarver.But the second fight was definitely the prime Roy.He just got caught, no excuse.Now after that....he was a shot fighter.His skills were still intact, but his chin was now exposed, confidence was shot, and heart was completely gone. ya know for a guy with a bar of red, u sound pretty sharp.... good post

Its a classic excuse used by Roy Boys. Roy said it so they ran with it. ppl dont stop to think about it...... thats what i think the problem is.
