Tarver couldnt knock out Roy twice, we all saw the round he had him so stunned and Roy was hurt but he didn't go down and he survived to come back against Tarver in that round too.Originally Posted by skel1983
And he didn't look gunshy against Badi Ajamu, he fought a smart fight for someone his age with not as quick reflexes. Roy seems to be changing his style just a little bit.
But if for a moment you think Joe is going to beat him consider this.
Joe doesn't have the height, reach or power of Antonio Tarver at Light Heavyweight.
Joe doesn't have the heart or chin of Glen Johnson at Light Heavyweight.
Joe is a supper Middleweight and won't be bullying Roy around the ring.
You talk about Joe getting dropped by the likes of Tarver and then Johnson. But what about Joe getting dropped by Mitchell and SalemAnd an old weight drained Eubank(not nearly as fast as Jones at that stage of his career) almost got him in the last round(from what I've read).
Roy is faster then anyone Joe has faced, his harder then anyone Joe has faced and is more elusive then anyone Joe has faced even at this stage of his career. Not to mention Jones is bigger.
Joe is going to get hit more then any other time in his career. I just hope the fight is at some sort of catch weight. Jones barelt made 175 his last time out, I can't see him making 168. 172 or 170 maybe.
