also, most ppl think roy jones prime is at 168 that fight happened at 160... I am joking what I wrote is just bs
just as hopkins not in his prime in 93 is bs!
how old was he? 28
did he ever lose a fight again? NO
was he ever embarassed again? NO
so when does his prime start? from the following fight?
simply he was beaten by a great unconventional fighter who happened to have a lot of movement, which is the only style that gives hop some slight problems, and punching from all angles, which does not help to.
More experience would have helped, maybe, but not that much bcos he would never have found someone to fight or to spar with, whose style was similar to roy jones (maybe hiring mosley as sparring partner would have done it, but give the size of shane at the time and the money he was making later this was not a possiblity)
