    Fighters who tend to rely on athletic ability over technical ability tend to have short primes. Jones should of learnt his defensive fundamentals or retired post Ruiz. But hindsight is always 20/20 as they say.

    I watched his fight with Toney again the other day, back in the day he was something else.

      Retiring after Ruiz or fighting Chris Byrd or Holyfield would have been good.
      Jones knows the fundamentals but he still want's to be Superman Roy Jones, showboating and fighting with his hands down.
      If Roy want's to he can still fight guys like Lacy, exhibiting his skills. Problem is he dosen't want it that way. He want's the top guys. We will see what happens April 3.

        My head tells me Hopkins, my heart says Roy. I do hope Roy wins though it would be a nice way to end his career.

          How will Hopkins/Jones even look.

          Who will be the aggressor. Both are strictly counterpunchers these days.

          I guess Hopkins should be the one who forces the issue.

            I think Hopkins will be the aggressor in this fight, constantly circling to Jones's right to take away his left hook, maybe trying to fight up close as well

              Threads like these are the reason why many people think foreign fighters never get respect in the US. Even if you win in a dominant fasion like joe did americans will try to make it out like it was a close fight.

                    I think he will have a better chance then against Calzaghe.
