    Jones was never particularly technically sound himself, just athletic. You've seen the results, without his footspeed he's a shell of himself.

      and why wouldn't that have been possible 8 years ago? Joe would have been 28, Roy 31.

            What does that say to you?
            Landed most shot on jones out of anyone, made fun of jones and toy'd with him all night long, made Jones bleed, gave him the worst ass beating anyone has ever given him

            what does that say to you?

                In that case prime Jones' hooks were frequently more like haymakers coming up from the waist, his handspeed was just so good opponents would get blindsided by them; they couldn't see the telegraphing and thus ate the extra power behind them.

                      Stick to nutsucking Mexican fighters.

                      Roy has been brutally KOed twice.

                      Has QUIT in a fight three years ago.

                      Has beaten no one since then.

                      The results to this were obvious. Only an idiot like you would question what might have happened.
