How many times have you seen RJJ when faced with adversity, show heart and prevail?

texasboi1514y ago

One of the characteristics of a true champion such as Ali or SRR is the ability to bounce back after a loss. Lennox Lewis after knockout losses to McCall and Rahman was able to get back up, dust himself off and return to championship form with avenging knockout victories. JMM after Pacquiao floored him three times in the 1st round. Even Floyd after Shane rocked him in the 2nd. Would you say Roy Jones has more heart than Erick Morales? Of course you wouldn't unless you're an idiot. Truth is Jones throughout his career has never shown the true heart of a champion. Yeah I said it.

Usually when roy fights he doesn't deal with much adversity, he either dominates or gets knocked clean out. Calzaghe, tarver 3 and Bhop 2 are exceptions but he still fought his ass off in those fights. He's as game as they come

Roy showed plenty of heart against Lebedev, Calzaghe and Tarver I. He's still fighting at 42 and was past prime 7 years ago. Op is an idiot.

Tarver I, Griffin I, Hopkins I, Del Valle Scratch Del Valle. Nothing but a flash KD in that fight. Other than that, you're correct. Jones was largely too good to ever have to deal with adversity. The few times it happened in his best days he was up to the task.

Didn't he beat BHop with a bad hand?
