    was/is Roy Jones a big puncher or not

    was/is Roy Jones a big puncher or not ?

    he knocked out Sugar Boy Malinga a guy who Eubank or Benn could not put away

    he beat Percy Harris up

    he brutally flattened Glenn Thomas with a left hook

    he startched Art Sewano and put his eyes in the back of his head

    he took Jorge Vaca out with one counter left hook

    he took Danny Garcia out with a left hook that i dont even think landed it looked to me like Garcia just took a dive

    Thomas Tate was rescued by his corner after a big leaping left hook

    Tony Thornton,Merqui Sosa were both questionable stoppages IMO

    Eric Lucas took everything Roy could throw at him

    Bryant Brannon clearly could 'nt take a punch or Jones just hit that hard

    Griffin was made to pay for cheating Jones outta the title with one big left hook awsome

    Virgil Hill one of the best body shots ever in the history of Boxing

    Richard Frazier not worth talking about lol

    David Telesco called Roy a ***** throughout the fight telling him he could not knock him out

    Richard Hall was on the floor in the 1st few rounds but stayed on his feet and made it to the 11 and Jones hit him with a barrage of punches that would have Koed most oponents but Hall stood upto it although he was hurt and the fight needed stopping

    Glen Kelly did'nt desereve to be in the same ring plain and simple

    Clinton Woods doubled over by Jones Body shots

    John Ruiz shook momentarily by a Jones right hand

    Anthony Hanshaw hurt badly late on Jones did not finish him off

    Felix Trinidad arguable wether he was hurt in the fight

    Lou Del Valle ,Mike McCallum ,Jones could not seem to hurt them that much

    Vinny Pazienza to small for the weight but stopped none the less

    Antoine Byrd Jones clearly had to much power for Byrd how long did he last less than a mintue ?

          he was a homerun hitter from 154-168 but a doubles hitter at 175. Occasionally, he'd hit one out the park. What he really lacked was killer instinct.

            He was in his prime.

            The Jones today just doesn't have the same pop.

              roy is definately a big puncher,

              sometimes he took mercy on guys and let them go the distance

              im sure he could have got tito out of there but i think he wanted the rounds

                i definetly agree at 160lbs

                his power did fade as he went up i agree but so did his willingness to mix it

                  Calzaghe hits harder with his flacid **** than Roy does with his fists.
