Uh, no. Roy could not put away a man 23 pounds beyond his best weight and who had not fought in two and a half years. That is not an impressive win in the least.
Neither did Hopkins when he fought Wright Go hate somewere else junior
Great comparison. Wright is a defensive master. I never expected Hopkins or anyone else to KO Wright. Trinidad ain't no defensive master. I fully expected a Jones KO, and the fact that he couldn't deliver proves that he has lost something. Don't get me wrong, I'm not a hater...Roy at his best is a top 20 all time great. But he does not have it anymore.
Did you even watch the fight? From the halfway stage on Roy completely and utterly dominated. Even before that he was totally relaxed and just playing around.

It was basically a sparring session for him. He could have put Trinidad away if he would have wanted he was just clearly enjoying putting on a show.

Great performance by Jones I honestly think he has a shot at beating not just Hopkins but even Calzaghe.

When he got knocked out by Tarver, and then Johnson it was like Jones didn't know that age was catching up with him and he was still fighting his old flashy style.

He's now learned that he aint the lightening fast invincible machine any more and he's adapted his style, slower, more methodical, relying on a decent block technique rather than rapid head and body movements for defense.

He's like Ali post his ban, not as fast but clever.

I really think he can go out with a bang and even reclaim his spot as p4p number 1, at least if Floyd doesn't fight.

He's going to be remembered like Ali and Foreman as a legend who reinvented himself in his older years to achieve success all over again.
