I think that Roy JOnes Jr. still could... I honestly believe that he wasn't doing things right in preparation for the Johnson fight, and the second Tarver fight he was winning, but got caught with a punch that would have knocked most people out. As for against Hopkins, Jones did dominate him. The last few rounds he wasn't really doing anything, and he was still ahead by 4 rounds with a broken hand. Against a guy like Jones old isn't necessarily a bad thing... I think McCallum had certain advantages that allowed him to stay in the ring against Jones. 1. He was alot bigger, and could take more punishment. 2. He was more savy than in his younger years, sorta of like Hopkins. 3. Roy wasn't even going hard on him. 4. He had a good fight with Toney after fighting Jones. Tarver 1, have you seen the fight? Tarver caught him a few times along the ropes, but the majority of the fight Roy was pot shoting him easily, and I think the 116-112, 117-111 scores demonstated that.
