    I honestly think Roy couldn't even beat Lacy at this stage. He still looked shot against Omar, only Omar looked even worse.

    I see Lacy catching him around round 6, cutting him and then stoppage.

      He looked shot against Omar

      I mean you can say Omar is shot, and that Roys win over him means nothing really... but to say that Roy didnt put on a performance or that he still looks shot, is ridiculous...

      As fast as he used to be? No...

      But shot fighters dont put on 4-5 punch combinations, repeatedly... lett off 15 jabs in 30 seconds... putting double left hooks and uppercuts together, counter punches, check hooks... he let his hands go all 5 rounds.

      Maybe he doesn't look 25... but against Omar he didn't look too shot to me..

      Just because you can;t do what you could 10 years ago... doesn't mean you are shot as a whole...

      It isnt a light switch, on or off... theres stages and levels.

        fact:taylor is ****.
        fact:lacy is ****.
        fact:roy jones is still good but not at super middle.
        fact: neither is ole poppy.
        why does everbody here discard carl froch as nothing?
        probably because he is english.
        fact:nigel benn,chris eubank,michael watson, the great joe calzaghe all in the last 15 years at the weight completely dominated ALL american fighters.
        fact: jones avoided all of them.
        fact: the only one to step over the pond was gerald mclelland and look what sadly happened to him.
        americans seem to have this "thing" that to be a great fighter you have to fight there? why?
        why not have a fight in.....madagascar or papua new giunea?
        lets not forget, some of the greatest fights in history were in places like,mannilla(phillipines)nassua(ba*****)and of course unforgetably the great rumble in the jungle....zaire(africa.
        carl "the cobra" froch will "whup all bums"!
        you buggin'! facts my ass! (no ****)

            "Anyone will look SHOT compared to a PRIME P4P #1 Roy Jones Jr." We all know he's not what he used to be which makes him touchable. But that doesnt mean he's shot, just a good fighter who can still hang.

            Lacy has a punchers chance but like I said before it will look a lot like Pav VS Hop. A vet VS the New (green looking) guy. aka Lacy will fight Roy's fight in which Jones will dance all day to a UD IMO.

            Taylor is another story......

                Jermain Taylor is all wrong for Roy. Roy is shot, man. His hands will probably still be fast when he's 100 but everything else is shot.

                    Arturro Gatti is shot... Jose Luis Castillo is shot...

                    Roy can still win fights... just not on the level he used too.. that doesnt mean you're shot....

                    If you compare ANYONE to Prime Roy they will look shot..

                      You give Arturo Gatti a shot fighter who had been retired for nearly two years and he'd win too.
