Roy Jones fighting style

[Smokin'J]

Weird to say but I actually like JMM's style more, my opinion but like Larry said, its what your born with.

Ali broke the rules too but when was the last time we saw a HW like him?

Of course, it came back to haunt the both of them as they declined...although Roy's muscle-weight-loss just destroyed him so maybe he at least has the upper body reflexes a while longer and strength like Ali did.

Agreed, you guys should watch the first Liston - Clay fight and hear what the commentator is saying.

Fighters like Hopkins who don't have that natural athletic phenom ability will be students to the game and put their time in learning the "Craft/Art" of Boxing...so they will last longer into their 30's. Roy was always going to decline in his 30's and be more vulnerable....he just pushed it off the mountain with his move up to HW and then back down to LH. He should have just retired after the Ruiz fight. I thought he was about to until Tarver showed up and ran his mouth and Roy's ego got in the way with what he should have done......but that is boxing and the boxer's ego.

His Fightin Style is Unique i've tried to copy it a few times in sparring with my hands held real low, but im never quick enough to dodge the punches against a good jabber, RJJ was just something special.

60% of the time, it works everytime

RJ's style is just RJ's style. No other way to define it. Dude is 1 of a kind. He had lousy fundamentals, yet is still an ATG. RJ is the ****in man.

Roy was brought up to be a fighter. I remember hearing (I think it was Calzaghe - Jones 24/7) that Roy sr would force him to bob and weave by swinging a board with nails at him when training and this was just one of the cruel training regimines he'd have to follow.

You have to imagine that when you truly eat, drink, think and sleep boxing for most of your childhood one could develop extraordinary skills. If you watch Roy right now I think you'll still notice he knows every trick in the book, its just too bad his body's caught up to him though
