...And the concussion **** you speak is bunk. Every time a fighter gets Knocked Out, his first stop is the 'spital. Jones got smashed the second time because he was in the ring ****in around and being a clown. He used to get away with it but against Johnson he played 2 much.

I am glad all the guys with PHDs are showing me the light..
I said it was just an opinion or theory...
maybe you should learn what those 2 words mean before you type and tell me the FACTS of life..

I've suffered a concussion, and I wasn't able to talk and reason 100% clearly 2 minutes later. In the post-fight interview he seemed just fine.Comment

its weight loss... when you have such a low body fat compostion (as jacked roy did for ruiz), you have to be extremely careful losing weight. you can only do it by losing a pound a week, max. he weighed in at like 196 if i remember correctly, though Roy was pissed, said the scale was off, and swore he had weighed in over 200 the night before on his scale.
that being said, roy needed at least 25 weeks (6 months), just to get down to a weight where he could resume strength training in his regiment. in total, he really should have given himself a year of proper weight loss time allocation, time to get adjusted, and then time for his regular 8-10 week camp so that he could peak at the new weight on the day of the fight.
roy's downfall was a result of ****iness. he believed that nothing was beyond the realm of possibility for him. he was so good, he forgot that he was a human and had to adhere to the laws of physiology that govern us all.
he really should have waited for the FIRST fight, but luckily, he won based on his will to win and push in the final rounds. after he escaped the first fight with a victory, his body was shot. he should have taken his year rest then to recover, instead of the 6 month delay. he should have also used mackie shilstone to LOSE the weight that he had gained, since Mackie is an expert strength and conditioning coach and would have done it safely...
all that being said. there is no way in hell that roy's team should have let the delusional man fight johnson 4 months later. did they even watch ANY tapes on the guy?!? forget the weight issue (which was of course still at play because roy had still never recovered or adjusted to the shock his body had gone through), just the psychological factor alone should have been reason enough to slow Roy's roll....
i feel that his inactivity since the 2nd tarver loss has allowed roy to recover. 1 fight per year allowed for roy to heathily get down to 170 for tito and look much sharper than he had in years.....
im not sure that a concussion had anything to do with it, but it is in the realm of possibility. perhaps not a concussion, but certainly some type of head trauma, and like i said, the psychological effects that one should take more than 4 months to recover from before going to battle with another champion fighter- a seasoned warrior hungry to recapture the momentum his career once had as an undefeated propsect before a young wrecking ball named bernard hopkins sent his career spiraling into an abyss....Comment

Joe wins hands down! he will be too quick even for the mighty RJJ! I would have liked to have seen this fight 5 years ago! but i think now Joe wins...i dont think by stoppage as his hands are prone to problems but i think he will be too busy for RJJ...Comment
