    Why RJJ is STILL the ****ing man

    So many boxers who were amazing in their prime and continued to fight longer than many said they "shoud" begin to fail because the gifts that made them great slip away.

    Roy Jones Jr ALWAYS had a suspect chin, but despite it mopped the floor with lots of guys. He STILL has a suspect chin, and as a result has lost fights because of it, but his game is still there.

    Ridiculous speed, awesome timing (if you don't believe it, watch him toy with Jeff Lacy), and good power (floor Calzaghe, and Tito). He's still got what made him great, and still has the faults that got in his way but he hasn't slipped or lost his talent like so many other great fighters who went past when they should.

    Roy is the ****ING BOSS and he's gonna stomp Bernard.

    No he didnt always have a suspect chin. He took flush bombs from a heavyweight and didnt even blink.

        I dont know where I stand on this, RJJ is one of my favorite boxers ever but im not sure what to think about his last fight. He really should have retired much earlier, after the first Tarver fight in my opinion as that fight showed he was on the decline, I know about the weight loss but still.......

        He didnt "always" have a suspect chin, I mean he took James Toney and Bernard Hopkins punches but I think part of that was he was so quick he never got caught. Like I said its hard to put forward an argument for RJJ with his career the way it is at the moment but I still like him and hope he can beat Hopkins.
