Comments Thread For: Roy Jones Praises Canelo, Offers Pointers On Jumping Weight Divisions: 'Special Guys Can Do Special Things'

[Thuglife Nelo]

When Roy did the Hatton vs Canelo Broadcast he said Canelo hits like a LHW... that was a youngie and not grown out Canelo

Canelo truly is a great he's able to slam on 30lbs of solid muscles as a full grown man who's already been an athlete his entire life its like the opposite of biology, his Russian friend in this article has done something similar and so has holyfield how come normal folks cannot do this stuff lmao

Figures. Roy moved up and fought the worst champion then ran from the division. Same thing redballs does all the time. He'll move up and fight this clown at cruiser then probably some cab driver at 175 that he'll lobby to make some kind of interim champion so he can win a fake belt.

winning a belt at a weight class is not dominating a weight class & fighting once in a weight class is not either, not even close

After USYK KO’s AJ and fights FURY Canelo can move to 200 and fight USYK and get destroyed

Let’s face it. Roy Jones only moved to HW because John Ruiz is there to be cherrypicked. He ducked Lennox Lewis and Mike Tyson like the plague.

If Bermaine “Deontay Wilder’s best win in his resume” Stiverne or Charles “The God” Martin were still heavyweight champs, I guarantee you Canelo would have already moved up to HW to snag a title.

Most experts at the time agreed that Lennox Lewis was simply too big for Roy Jones. And if Canelo ever fought at heavyweight, it’s wouldn’t be against Tyson Fury.

And everyone besides the biggest haters and critics would be ok with that.

Canelo fans are so simple and desperate for some sort of vindication. “ Ohhh Roy Jones called him special, take that!” I don’t think anyone who’s a fan of boxing would deny that Canelo is talented and has accomplished a lot. But does that mean that he didn’t get caught cheating? Does that mean he didn’t get some favorable scoring from judges? Does that mean that he hasn’t clearly steered away from certain fighters and taken less risky ones? Of course not. These sentive canelo fans think he’s above criticism and because he’s talented, all of the other nonsense should be ignored. Bozos.

Wow, surprising Canelo getting some love from a brotha!

Ducker Jones has some advice for you.

Tarver's straight left landed so hard, I thought for sure dirty work was afoot. I thought he must have had a horseshoe in his gloves. As soon as he clipped Roy, I screamed, "Magic Man is going to to jail!, check his gloves". I didn't believe there was no way in hell he could knock Roy into a perma-dream like that. After that, I was so shocked that I was silent for the whole night. I wouldn't even speak when spoken to. I wasn't trying to rude, I just physically couldn't talk. My mouth wouldn't open. I rewinded it about 150 times, and went to bed stressed tf out
