Uhh no it isn't Jones was never a great technical boxer thats obvious, thats why when his reflexes slowed down and he couldn't use his athletic ability anymore he was KO because he was never a great technical boxer. Jones had amazing talent but he was unorthodox and nothing he did was technically sound or boxing basics. Jones was a great boxer, and one of my favorite boxers of all time. But to say he is technically sound is a bit silly.
Mate ever heard of slick boxers, i guarentee you guys like zab judah and floyd mayweather would be in trouble if they lost their speed. Floyd would be, jones started slowing down a bit. Guys like hopkins and wright arent known for their speed, yes they are technical boxers but they are a different kind to roy jones. Would you call ali not technically sound just coz he didnt hold his hands like the book says they should or didnt evade like the book said he should. It worked and he could outbox any man he wanted to. Face it man, jones is a technical fighter. He didnt beat hopkins and toney with just pure reflexes mate
