          I laughed my ass off as he tumbled to the mat. RJJ disgraced himself many years ago.

              that was nice.. it looked like a looping right or a right hook.. no way jones can block the front and the sides at the same time i guess.. roy should stick to head movement instead of blocking. i think he could have survived even though he was obviously wobbled. but he should use head movement instead of blocking because when he blocks he's blind. he could have done a lot better if he used his eyes against that guy.. was this fight at heavyweight? maybe he could have taken that punch if he was juiced up like the ruiz fight

                I feel bad. Danny Green isn't even that good. I knew Jones would keep fighting until he got the **** knocked out of him.

                  It was a sad day seeing Roy get beat that easily by a limted fighter. Green was a solid puncher with good fitness and heart, nothing more. Even do Roy was past his best, I still thought he had enough left to box the ears off Green.

                  The same Green who was given a boxing lesson at the hands of fellow Aussie Anthony Mundine, who although is a good fighter is nothing special, and who had suffered a KO defeat to Sven Okkte and a points loss to Manny Siaca.

                  But it just shows me how much of a washed up fighter Roy is. His punch resistance has faded and he has no legs or reflexes no more. It also goes to show me how washed up Jeffy Lacy and Omar Sheika are, two men who Roy destroyed this year.

                  But I will remember Roy at his peak. Jones at the peak of his powers, attempted things no boxer had ever attempted before. Whether it was Jabbing from a distance, or hitting and slipping from mid range, throwing fast explosive combinations on the inside.

                  At his best Jones threw the Boxing textbook out the window, but he was that gifted he could probaly wirte his own on the art of boxing.

                  Jones possesed uncanny speed, reflexes and ring intelligence. On his best day, Roy would of been a problem for any fighter around his weight classes.

                  In his remarkable career. Roy was a 4 weight division champion, which included winning titles from Middleweight to Heavyweight. Thanks for the memories Roy.......

                    Lacy took viscous beatings from Calzaghe and Taylor before stepping in the ring against past it Roy Jones Jr. Only reason Lacy didn't retire after getting beaten like this by Calzaghe is because of Money purposes, but I do honestly believe those slaps left a mark on Lacy forever. People say Calzaghe slaps but if slaps make your face as swollen as Lacy was against Calzaghe, then I'm scared to fight a slapper like Calzaghe!



                    Lacy looks almost unrecognizable in this picture, that is how bad of a beating Calzaghe gave to Lacy.

                      He should have retired years ago. Roy lived from his reflexes but they are gone, even though it was a bit like a lucky punch that Green landed. Roys stile doesnt work at this age though, if you are a Boxer living from speed and reflexes you wont be successfull at 40 years. B-Hop is the perfect blueprint how to do it as an old man, you need ring generalship, outsmart your opponent, be intelligent and skillfull. I hope now that Roy is out, Hopkins fights Dawson that would be a classic!
