    Jones has been shot for a while

    Roy has no legs left and hasn't had them for a long time. He just stood there and took the shot from green.

    I agree Calzaghe's resume is looking terrible. Whats worse is Jones actually gave him trouble for a few rounds and knocked him down. Jones has now been dominated 3 times by Tarver, Johnson and Green.

    Calzaghe still has the Hopkins win - but we know how that "win" went. Not to mention Hopkins' best days are behind him as well.

    Dont you think its strange how Jones became shot between the Ruiz fight and the first Tarver fight? Theres more to that story then loosing 15 lbs in weight.

      its tough to say, most of us feel that the aftermath of the tarver fight really says he just shouldnt have cut all that damn weight.

        you could see he was visibly shot to, he was slower on his feet and didn't jump around like he used to. He still hand the hand speed though. Maybe roid's or something, lol j/k

          I can understand him struggling for Tarver I , but since then something hasnt been quite right with him. Those punches from Johnson, Tarver and Green shouldnt of KOed him. Apart from the Tarver punch the other two were glanching blows to the side of his head.

            It's obvious that, that clearly wasn't Roy.

              Roy was Roy when he could move around the ring and get away from opponents, without his legs he does not have the defensive skills to fall back on, and his chin is not good. Roy was 80 percent insane footspeed, and 20 percent hand speed.

                why did the ref stop the fight,jones was at no time hurt,he was playing possum and trying to lure green in,the commission should without wasting any time rule the bout a no contest and set a date for an immediate rematch,what was the ref thinking,jones hands were up at all times

                  I always thought the same thing! What a difference those 8 months and 15lbs made!
