How shot is Roy Jones Jr.

Talk about an understatement.Roy is still a top 10 guy at 175, but that will fade if he never fights. He has been very inactive, which kills an older fighter because they are only going to age more and more. They need to get as many fights in as possible before they really suck.
Jones could possibly work himself to beat even the best at 175 (Adamek, Dawson) but it would be shaky.
How 'shot' is he? Shot enough that I would not be able to decisively pick him to beat Ruiz or Woods in rematches.Comment

I don't think Roy is that shot, you guys are mentioning Adamek who is pretty good and exciting but I don't think he is on Roy's level when it comes to hand speed and elusiveness. In his last fight with paul Briggs actually both fights he got hit a lot and showed quite a few weaknesses. He is still unseasoned to me. I haven't seen Dawson fight yet, but I understand he is a newbie too. I think Roy still has outstanding hands and a lot of knowledge and experience in the ring. If motivated I think he can still be considered at the top of the division. Roy is still a contender.Comment

Roys half the fighter he was but thats still good enough to beat most of the division! I wouldnt be shocked if Roy won the belts back and became recognised as division leader again! He aint half the man he was tho, I pick him to beat B-Hop in a dull match with Roy potshotting to a points win, And i pick him to beat Tarver and Johnson if they fought again, but he can defo be beatComment
