prime calzaghe vs prime rjj

[T.Horton]

Roy seemed to be in his comfort zone whenever he was able to dictate the pace of the fight. I haven't seen all of his fights, but from what I've seen, the opponents who applied pressure to Roy were fighters who didn't have the handspeed or head movement necessary to get within short range and make him uncomfortable or give him problems.

Calzaghe seems to have been a guy that would apply pressure to Roy in a way that would make him uncomfortable, even in both fighters' respective "prime" periods. It's quite apparent that Roy was incredibly fast during his prime, whereas when they actually fought he was above-average fast, but not close to his former speed. Calzaghe rushed in and didn't show any respect for his speed, power, skills, etc.

With that said, Roy lacked basic boxing skills. All he needed to do was find an opening, throw a right or left and consider the fight a wrap. When his speed diminished, he didn't really know how to deal with adversity, such as in the Calzaghe and Danny Green fights.

I've mostly seen the highlight reels of Roy, so this is all said with a limited knowledge of his career.

great post for a guy who hasn't seen much of Jones

I hope you're being sarcastic, as that was one of the most idiotic posts I've ever read pertaining to the Great Roy Jones.

I am referring to his analysis - don't get your panties in a bunch. I think Jones is one of the greatest fighters to ever box.

What pressure fighter gave Jones trouble in his prime?

You are referring to an analysis by a guy who has only seen highlight reels and you claim it is "great?"

Really?

And your first reply "At the risk of sounding dumb." Let me guess, you're a guy who cares about K and at the risk of getting bombed by a bunch of European's, you tip toe around here, and tell people "Great post" when it's obviously bull**** just to get green k.

What's the point of joining a forum if you don't have an opinion of your own?

That's what I'd like to know. Pressure fighters are tailor made for Roy.

aside from Glen Johnson none that I can think of - but that's not my point. I was encouraging the guy because for once I am reading something on NSB here the poster is trying to offer up an opinion and it's not laden with curse words and 'Mayweather is the greatest ever'.

So let me reiterate, good post October.

lmao.

Did you not see one of the posts made previous to mine? It said 'those of you who think Jones' win are dumb' I was being facetious.

Look it up.
