I miss the Old Roy Jones

[ICB]

Roy Jones Jr.

Arrogant conceited hot dog with vastly overinflated sense of his own greatness. Outstanding athletic abilities.

Brought down by one punch.

Unable to deal with adversity in the ring.

How many times did we see him win a fight by hot dogging it against guys who really were not in the same league.

That shot he took from Tarver cheered me up immensely.

Glad as hell he's gone.

as most people are when someone is as great as roy..someone will always sit back and wish for his fall...but it took 15years and lack of motivation for him to get hit by a lucky punch...

Not to mention the punch would have kayo'ed anybody...and roy got up but nady stopped it...anyway you forgot to to mention how much heart roy had to dominate for 15years...

Not at all There are a lot of equally great and dominant fighters with long careers that I have admired, I just don't like hot dogs. I never said he wasn't good.

So you are saying Roy wasn't motivated therefore he got caught by that punch? I think I remember him saying something about not being motivated. Sounds like an excuse to me.

As for whether or not he was fit, I thought he looked pretty sharp in that 2nd fight, not "way past it" as many would say.

I agree with the part about him being sharp in 2nd fight i thought he looked sharp with his punches he won 1st round easily and just got caught with lucky punch it happens even to the best of em.
