can roy beat glen johnson?

hmm

Roy Jones before 2003- Really believed that he was Superman. Thought he could do anything that any other boxer couldn't do, and sometimes did it. Could have easily have beaten Glen Johnson, may have had slight trouble with my dad, like he did with Eric Harding, but still could've convincingly beaten my dad.

Roy Jones of 2005- Lost his hunger. Still in good shape, good speed and strength but doesn't have that energy and drive anymore. Still probably could beat 90% of the light heavyweights. But that magic and drama is gone.

Bingo.

Roy a couple years ago easily UD's Johnson or maybe stops him latem similar to the Clinton Woods fight. Now, I doubt it. He could do better than he did in their 1st fight but that doesn't mean he'd win. He's had multiple concussions now and is weary for a reason. His once decent chin is now average at best and that's not gonna work out since he is easier to hit now.

I think Roy can still win some fights and be entertaining to watch, but I can't see him beating Glen Johnson. Johnson is relentless.

The problem with this is that I dont think Johnson has enough left in him to be that relentless. The fights with Jones and Tarver I think is the begining of the end because it took too much out of him. In the second fight with Tarver he looked tired. Jones could beat him. But I have a question. Was it the weight change that ruined Jones? Would Tarver and Johnson had a chance against him in 2000-2002?

Johnson looked as good and relentless as ever in his last fight against Kalid Jones. A guy ranked in the top ten by the WBC IBF and WBA and in the top 5 by one of them. Johnson is guaranteed a title shot for one of those organizations for beating Kalid Jones. He murdered Kalid Jones . He beat him really bad. Fox sports re-showed the fight yesterday.

Johnson would eat Roy alive, again. It would be as bad as the first time.

Roy just can't take a punch, & is unwilling to mount a real offense....
Basically...he'll stand around until Johnson knocks him out again.

i think johnson would be trouble for him again. for roy to win, he'd have to up his work rate, cut out unnecessary posing, handle johnson's pressure well, and stay off the ropes as i see it.
