let me just say this...roy jones is not shot

[ACHlLLES]

I don't think Roy is shot either, he definitely isn't at his best anymore. People just want to live in a fantasy world and act like boxers aren't human and that they can't be defeated. Everyone can be beat in boxing, theirs style clash-ups that will cause one person to lose. No one is invincible.

Margairto with his high pressure style of fighting was definitely a bad match up for cotto, but than again we don't know if he was packing in his wraps or not.

he's just gun shy and thinks to much,,,the tools are there but he's just not using them..he has the hand speed,combo's and power..but he chooses not to use them..that tarver ko really mentally ****ed my boy roy..he's got more skills than most young fighter 2day

Roy's still one of the best....
Would still own B/Hop

**** man, I was at a stand up show just now. While I was there some anorexic American was sat next to me reading this thread on his laptop.

Fast forward to 0'18m in for his reaction to the two posts above:

On an elite level, Roy is done. C level fighters, he still beats all day...He may even have trouble with B level fighters at this point.

Roys biggest strong points were his speed and reflexes. His speed is not the same(maybe 2 levels slower than he was), and as much as he tries, his reflexes are not the same either. Punches no longer miss Roy.

That should have been the first sign that he is no longer superman = Roy is done.

Don't kid yourself by thinking otherwise.
