Roy's a great fighter..no doubt..but the last couple of losses will somewhat taint his career..you have to admit that that was a huge landslide in his career, probably one of the worst in recent memory. Now if he had won the 3rd tarver fight, then that would add to his legacy, but losing the way he did made it seem like he lost his heart to fight, and people will remember that.
Does This Make Sense To You?

That is a really good point. Even if Roy were to win the LHW championship back in impressive fashion, I think people would still remember the image of him layed out on the canvas after the Johnson fight with an ice pack under his head. I have nothing against Roy, but I always think it is sad when a great athlete and competitor continues to compete long after their prime. Same thing with Sugar Ray Leonard although his legacy wasn't damaged by being KO'd by Terry Norris.Originally posted by kingtriton24Roy's a great fighter..no doubt..but the last couple of losses will somewhat taint his career..you have to admit that that was a huge landslide in his career, probably one of the worst in recent memory.

Jones didn't jab, because he didn't need to jab.
He did 'everything' technically wrong, becuase his way of doing it worked much better.
The problem he runs into is that he's lost the attributes that made him successful, and has to reinvent himself at such a late age.
He still fights with his hands at his waist, and is smaller than everyone he fights.
It's not a good spot for him to be in now that he's older.Comment

Are you going to start with your gay talk again?
Do we need to talk about the medication again?
From your latest video Scap, you don't look to be doing too well:

I think Bernstein has a point, perhaps a bit exaggerated like someone else stated but pretty good point. Roy Jones was a great athlete and a great fighter but an average boxer.
If Roy Jones had the sound boxing fundamentals of a James Toney or Bernard Hopkins he would still be undefeated right now. His athletcisim while diminished form its original Freakiness is still above average for most boxers. His speed and reflexes are still sharp, even when he was knocked out by Tarver you could see that his hook was the quicker of the 2 but his was too tight and Tarver caught him.
I see PBF as being similar to Roy Jones in athleticisim but what PBF has that eclipses Roy is one of the most sound understandings of boxing which will carry him after his athletcisim have diminished UNLIKE Roy.Comment

I 100% agree with Bernstein, he knows his **** and is probably one of the few boxing guys that I agree with more then 50% of the time.Originally posted by TRUTH"RD: Do you think Roy Jones’ legacy will be hurt by his recent losses?
Bernstein: Yes it will. It will because it’s proof positive of something I’ve said many, many times. Roy Jones is a great athlete; he’s not a great fighter. Never has been a great fighter. He never made himself a great fighter. He didn’t work at his craft hard enough to be a great fighter. But he’s a great athlete, and so he ended up being great in the ring. When his quickness and some of his physical skills started to fail him, he had nothing else left to go back to. He didn’t have the technique."ESB 2004 interview

If Roy was great in the ring that would mean hes a great fighter. People fight when they are in a boxing ring. Roy did win mostly because of his athletic ability but he used his athletic ability to win fights which makes him a fighter. Roy makes alot of technical mistakes but to say he was not a great fighter, and then say he was great in the ring makes no sense. Maybe I'm analyzing it too much.Comment
