No Ceilings/Burner says roy jones didn't have skills ...lol, WTF! What u guys think?

[£4£]

People always go on about athleticism and natural talent when talking about Roy, acting like he just woke up one day and could do all the things he did, the man had great skills to go with his great attributes.

Part of it was natural and he did have great reflexes, but what about all the training his father put him through as a kid, making him spar with one hand tied behind his back and swinging pieces of wood at him and stuff.

Roy Jones is overrated when it comes to purely 'skill'. What he had was extreme physical gifts. His hand, foot and reactionary speed are overall possibly the best of all time.
He dropped off the map FAST when his physical gifts started deteriorating...First the KO loss to Tarver, then the decision, then the domination from Glen...and then you look at him against Calzaghe. it was a quick fall from what he once was.

That being said, he still had plenty of skill. unconventional, yea, but he definitely knew what he was doing. You cant become a boxing champ without being skilled.

I think he understood boxing really well too, based on his commentary. certian fighters have the sport drilled into them through constant practice but never really sit down and understand it on their own, but I think because of his physical gifts he never was pressured enough to have that skill 'ingrained' in him, so to speak. he had to sit down and think about it, so that he could fully use his physical gifts.

roy jones was very skilled actually aside from his natural talents. you should realize though that once a fighter's natural talents is gone he can no longer utilize his skills to its full potential, unless you're a very crafty fighter like hopkins which unfortunately roy jones was not.

being around these boards for quite some time, you notice that these types of threads are duplicated and duplicated and duplicated

85% of the stuff "discussed" on here has been beat to death 1,000,000 times. i don't see how people conjure up the energy to keep discussing the same thing.

no disrespect to the thread starter.

[mathed]

Stop trolling the thread. Cant you say this about ANY fighter today. Likeeeeeee Tim Bradley?

Get off the Williams routine. Its old and you bring it into every thread bro.
