Everything about Roy was based on his Athleticism he was never a defensive genius, he was never an offensive genius....

Roy had speed that allowed him to be slick and move around the ring like he was on ice, he had speed that allowed him to be first to the punch, he had speed that allowed to to fight with his hands low because he could dodge and avoid most punches....

He was a phenom...But it all came down to amazing reflexes....Nothing more nothing less...

Those are the first thing to go in a fighter....Roy was never a plan B person....a fighter can not learn too many new trick after a certain age because their body wont allow it...The body becomes trained to do certain things and it can not untrain itself....

Add the ego of Jones and his Back to Back KO losses to Tarver and Johnson he could not mentally get past...If you listen to him today it is as if he believes it was a fluke that those happened.....

So his reflexes and ego both took blast at the same time.....
