Roy Jones Jr. at heavyweight WTF!!

Maybe he was faster because muscle doesn't necessarily slow you down... if the mass he gained was fast twitch fiber then why wouldn't he be faster? :)

Also on paper it sounds like Roy gained a lot more weight than he actually did...

he may have weighed in on 79kg when he fought as a light heavy but he was probably 85kg+ by the time he got into the ring and would have walked around at 90-95kg outside of training camp.

For heavyweight he will have gained some mass, but not as much as the difference between a light heavy weigh in and a heavyweight weigh in would make you think.

heavy weights don't dry up for weigh ins...

Yes. Many boxers make a sound when they punch. But it's not for the purpose of making a sound. Short, hard, fast breaths to oxygenate your body and still be able to hold your core tight. If Oscar had learned to do this, he probably wouldn't have been paralyzed by that B-Hop body shot.

And yes, if you're fast enough, you can make a whooshing sound with your straight punches. I was a pretty good amatuer, but no RJJ, and I can do it. As a matter of fact, I just took my shirt off and did it with my jab. Here. At my office. Why is everyone looking at me funny? lol

Roy at his biggest before going HW was naturally walking around at 184ish when he came into the ring at LHW that was his weight.

I dunno I'm fast, but maybe I'm thinking of the wooshing sounding different like swinging a stick.

ill look there. cheers

i've had a look and it doesn't seem to be there.

so does anyone have a download link ?

I have always thought that tommy hearns would give roy nightmares due to these factors, he is long and could keep you on the edge of a jab, and had a straight right hand, the two ingredients you need to beat roy, hearns is simply tarver x7 with power. Im not saying roy could not win but boxing is styles, roy has made everyone look bad true but keep in mind hopkins and toney are counte punchers not the style you need to beat jones you cannot wait on him, while jones was most likley faster than most Id have liked to have seen him in their with another fighter with some speed.
