Roy Jones jr: Triumph and Downfall, Physical gifts or Skills?

[IMDAZED]

Watching Jones fights I noticed that he started slowing down around the Derrick Harmon fight, he just looked a step slower around that time but Jones being a step slower was still 2 steps faster than pretty much everyone. Him losing that 20 pounds left him maybe half a step quicker than anyone and that isn't enough for him to get away from the stuff he used to be able to get away from.

And losing that weight totally took his legs away, his legs have never been the same since.

There ya go. Excellent observations.

I'm not sold on that fight, I know it's the bias in me talking.. I personally want to see a rematch because I think he just got caught cold, behind the ear. I also think he should have been given more time before they stopped it.

Obviously that is the fan in me talking, if he loses the rematch then call it quits.. but I would like to see the rematch. Again, that is me personally, I realize nobody else wants to see it, and they don't have to.

dude seriously what is that gonna prove...jones looks like he takes one more hard shot and he's seriously hurt... it ain't worth it...i saw the fight, and the ref was right up on him...apparently he felt that jones couldn't continue without getting seriously hurt...the punch to me wasn't a big shot, but it looked like the same shot that johnson put his lights out with...sorry man, roy can't take a punch anymore...

May be the case, I still think he can beat Green though.

Agreed. At this point, anyone who wants to see Roy Jones continue is just a mean, wicked person LOL. Come on Reed, it's over!
