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

It's been said before.

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.

[Jim Jeffries]

Where would Floyd be without his freakishly long arms, speed, coordination and reflexes?

[El Castigador]

lol !

Kobes career average is about 4 dimes per game...

Not bad for a guy who has to score all the points and defend the other teams best player

Foolish thread. If you can't see the difference between a Roy Jones Jr and a Zab Judah, for instance, walk away from the sport.
