the official is Roy Jones shot thread ?

[Dan...]

It all depends on what you measure it against. If the measure is a prime Jones then yes the man is shot. Having said that I think he can still perform at a level that is significantly higher than the vast majority of other "shot" fighters.

[MANGLER]

He ain't shot, he's just old. The Johnson fight is the only one where he took any serious punishment. Tarver just floored him wit 1 shot.

[THE REED]

he may or may not be shot...

i for one say he is not shot, but quite close... he may be far enough gone to where he cant be calzaghe...

Arturo Gatti proved he was shot when he got destroyed by alfonso gomez

jose luis castillo proved he was shot when he couldnt win a fight on wednesday night fights

THATS SHOT.

badi ajamu, hanshaw, and trinidad... are not elite fighters by any means...

but truly shot fighters arent beating anyone, just like gatti and castillo...


I dont think hes shot in the sense of those two... but hes definitely far from being what he once was... with the change in his style, and a 3 fight win streak, its possible that hes gotten his body properly prepared to fight...

there really is no yes or no to this question... we will see on november 8th

Obviously the word "shot" is subjective. I think most people here are basing it on the incredibly high level Roy fought at for many years before. But "over the hill" is probably a more accurate description of someone who would probably still beat all but a handful of the lightheavies.

[el malo]

yes him, hopkins and delaputa. its sad they are in the biggest fights boxing can make at this time

[Sithis]

jones isnt shot. but farrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr from his best. If he beats Joe at this stage in his career his legacy will be ridiculous.

the official is Roy Jones shot thread ? right there seems to be a lot of people suggesting he is not shot and i for one think he could not be anymore shot


for me he is shot to bits lets get your final cast on whether he is shot or not cause when Calslappy beats Roy im sure the same people who are saying he is not shot are going to be saying yeah but Roy was shot if Calslappy wins


please dont saying well Roy is shot and but he aint completley shot lets get your opinion yes or no

How can you start a Rjj "shot" thread without a pole? Shame on you.

Compared to average fighters, Jones is well within competative specs. Compared to his old "unbeatable" self, one can make an argument about being "shot".

I think that Roy is now going into a re-invention of himself due to age and lack of stamina from moving up and down the weight classes. He is far from being "shot" in my opinion and come November, the rest of the doubters will understand and take notice again. "yall definitely forgot".

Outstanding response.

[Silencers]

I don't think so, although they aren't fresh, he still has his legs, speed and some timing, those are things that go when fighters are shot but he's definitely not the same fighter.
