Roy Jones Jr. Deserves Some Credit

[Abe Attell]

He still beat Hopkins, Toney, and Ruiz...now Ruiz isn't all that impressive of a fighter, but he stilll is a heavyweight, and has a solid punch, so I will say he is dangerous to to a person who fought his carerr from 160-175.


I was never all that impressed with Clinton Woods, but he is Champion at 175 at the moment, and Roy beat this guy with ease.

Some will say that the weight issue ( in losing muscle weight), at his age caused him to fall off the mountain, and others will say he was just protected for so long that he got caught... having a belief that the weight loss had nothing to do with it.
For me, I will go with the weight issue excuse, plus age, since I saw how different Tarver looked after doing the same, although Tarver gained the weight for Rocky Balboa, not Ruiz.
Also, I have read a bit on the Endocrine system and have an "idea" how it is/can be effected as we age, so...

I also think Roy had a bit of bad luck: Tarver hit him with a great shot, flush on the chin with everything behind it, while Roy was throwing his...Glen hit Roy right on the Temple and shots like those can hurt anybody...but that is BOXING and that is why you have DEFENSE...the object is to not get hit so what "bad luck" he did have was due to Roy not learning Defense, so that is his fault...maybe some of the blame has to go on his trainers since they SUCK and try to take credit for a man that got so far becaus of his own, "God given Talent"
