Roy Jones was not taleneted...he was ATHLETIC.

I don't understand why people are name calling and getting upset with a person because they have an opinion that's different from their own.

You want a response on your thread and yet when people disagree with you, you shut them off. LOL

Exactly...


where in this thread did I say Roy was a ****ty fighter????

Roy was technically flawed!

Roy Jones has an unorthodoxed style of boxing. The way he always led with his left arm out was one of the biggest defensive flaws he ever had. His great reflexes enabled him to slip in and out of other punchers range. He also got away with fighting a bunch of C and D level fighters during his lightheavyweight reign. Anyone with an educated right hand should have been able to expose that flaw but his athleticism is what kept him out of trouble. He was never skilled enough to fight on the inside, but fast and athletic enough to pot shot you on the outside with distance to escape. He was definitely more athletic than boxing skilled.

Wasnt the post pertaining to you?Coz you're calling person names who disagree with you?

There is a difference........

Roy Jones got by on pure reflexes, strength, and athleticsm.

He was just bigger faster and stronger then everyone..he never used talent....and by the time he got old and easy to hit...he didnt have a fundemental background to keep him off the mat.

I look at him like Michael Vick is in the NFL.........fast, exciting, big arm but no accuracy and awareness about what he does.

Look at Mayweather Jr............like Peyton Manning, efficient, smart, accurate, moderate arm, rarely makes mistakes, fundementally sound, and has top notch intelligence and awareness.

I believe thats the difference between TALENT and being ATHLETIC.

Heres an NBA example for those not familiar with football:

Look at one Vince Carter...high flying, dunk on you, crazy wild dunks, crazy hops, a good exciting young player who couldnt soot a basic jumper, didnt play defense and was a bad passer.

Now look at Kobe Bryant.........high flying, dunk on you, crazy wild dunks, a good exciting young player who has an accurate jumpe and 3 point shot, very clutch, is the best on ball defender in the NBA and the all around best player and a guy who gets his teamates involved.

Thats the difference.

Im not a Roy Jones hater.........I was a fan..but he weas not talented...he was just extremely athletic.....he culdve played in the NBA or NFL if he applied himself.

Vince Carter is actually a pretty damn talented player now.

I look at Wlad like at Pac.. a guy you had to teach how to be a good boxer.

No one had to teach Roy his reflexes, and speed...

BUT...what Im saying is when he lost speed and reflexes..he had no BOXING ABILITY to compnesate for it.

he had and still has boxing ability and a whole lot of talent! He just has one of them styles that when his BOXING skills started to wane (speed, reflexes, concentration) albeit with age, that you cant do at top level without great punch resistance! Plain and simple! frankly you've lost credibility if you had any to begin with that is lol. The best thing you could do is say you were hasty in your choice of words!
