      I already explained them to you, why are you still asking the same question? You appear to be under the impression I think Roy is in some way 'bad', I don't, but I anyone can see Roy's technical flaws. In case you missed first time.
      Bad? Maybe because you said he was...sloppy?

      1) Tendency to leap in behind punches, particularly the left hook. Roy would very often have his feet off the floor when landing this.
      This is sloppy? I take it you think Floyd Mayweather is equally sloppy then? And how is it sloppy?

      2) Defense. Roy's defense often consisted of little more than backing away very fast with his hands lifted above his head.
      I suppose that's sloppy except...Jones rarely got hit.

      3) Jab. Roy neglected this throughout his career in favour of loose lead rights and hooks. He would often leave himself wide open when throwing these, but his speed always made up for it. When Roy did jab, he rarely did so with any authority.
      Sloppy?

      4) Ropes. Roy would often simply lean back out of range of his opponents punches with his chin hanging in the air, dangerous should he miscalculate. He also was not that good at fighting off the ropes either, often simply seeking to weather the storm.
      Yikes! Every fighter is sloppy then!!
      Don't waste your time disagreeing with me over any of this, you will only be doing so because of our mutual dislike. We both know it is perfectly correct, but if you want to cry because I term it 'sloppy' rather than 'not textbook' then you are perfectly free to do so.
      Sure...except "not textbook" doesn't equal SLOPPY. LMAO@this clown. Later.

        This may be the weakest post you have ever made. Exactly as I predicted, since there is nothing factually wrong with anything I said, you are reduced to whining because I used the term 'sloppy' in connection with Roy Jones. Who is the nuthugger now?

          If you had any boxing sense, you might've used unorthodox. But you don't - which is why you are now trying to equate "not textbook" with "sloppy." It's not the same. But that's simple English to most of us. Apparently not you, though.
