Roy Jones: the boxing genius

I think RJJ had everything apart from 1 thing,he didn't have no killer instinct! I dont think he had the desire to really get his opponents out of there.I think he does in the 2nd Griffen fight and IMO theres no LHW in history that would of went the distance with Roy that night! If Roy had the attitude he had in the 2nd Griffen fight for the whole of his carrer,I think we'd all be talking about him diffrently.

He actually went on record saying that unless they did something to upset him he didn't want to hurt them too bad. I think this attitude came about after what happened to G-Man.

Shooting at the obscure but I remember an interview after a fight with Fermin Chirino and how he was boooo'd when coasting through the fight over 10 rounds.He said pretty much that,hey,Im in here fighting and getting hit & taking chances....They can booo all they want (Not an exact quote Lol).I really think it was from the initial outset....he lost no sleep over a few detractors of his style
