Roy Jones: the boxing genius

[donnydarkoIRL]

You should only really judge fighters when in their prime. Do you think a younger Jones would have lost against those two?

Objectively, pound for pound, probably not, but we were never given any reason to believe he had left his prime, he had just won the heavyweight title we thought he was invincible, I'm sure none of us imagined he had left his prime when he boxed Johnson and Tarver the first times.

At the time of the first Tarver fight Roy was 34. Even with the weightloss excuse it wasn't a surprise that the guy was slipping. Tarver two proved it. The Johnson fight should never have even happened.

True, the Johnson fight was a mistake from the get go.
