Is Roy Jones Jr traning hard enough??

[Spicoli]

I think he is just being measured,Has to be very careful not to over due it...not a kid anymore and stamina might be an issue.

Agreed.. Again I wouldn't pull the damn alarm on this.. arguably one of Roys meaningful fights of his career and I doubt he is falling asleep at the wheel in training camp. ROy to me looked more sharp fluid and poised than Calzaghe. Just because Enzo is barking and stealing the show dosent mean Joe is training harder than Roy.

Look at the Hatton 24/7 Ricky looked like a wildman in training compared to the same scrutiny Floyd got for what appeared to be the same Mitt routine him and Roger do..

Ya, I agree. If Jones loses, it won't be because he didn't train hard enough... it'll be because he's an old fighter and his legs are gone.

I disagree that his legs are gone, watch him in Tarver III, against Henshaw, he was moving very fast and sustained it, the problem that he has always had at LHW is he moves straight backwards, and doesn't try to get off the ropes. Against Trinidad I dont' think he was trying to move at all, he wanted to back Trinidad up the whole fight, but early on I think he was just getting a feel for things(though I still believe he picked up most of the early rounds).

I still think Roy never trained as hard as he should have at any point in his career, I don't think he ever needed to. Obviously he trained hard enough to be in great shape, but I have never seen the same comitment from him as from guys like Calzaghe, Mayweather, and Bernard Hopkins.

I think Roy's chances in this fight are based on how hard he trains. I think he should have about 5 or 6 quick southpaws switching off and punching 100 times a round against him so he gets the feel for it.

I think its all mute at this point Taeth,We are one week out,any sparring prep should have and might have been addressed earlier.Roy is no dummy,he's been at this for a couple of decades and knows his limitations.I think his legs have looked a bit stiff in spots recently,and thats not including the Tarver & Johnson KO's.I think he will be sitting down more on the right but I can see him having problems down the stretch as he backs.

I agree on Roy's apparent lake of over all focus through the years.I mean,how many times have we seen him sitting ringside watching Gainer while he was up next in main event?Not to mention his dabbling in Basketball at the same time as with a big fight on deck.Roy is a promotion with and of himself,the music,the roosters,the swagger.Right now,I think he is doing what he can do.And I expect as much next Saturday night,I think he'll go for it, but he what he once was.

If RJJ doesn't win i may stop watching boxing for awhile, i could handle JMM losing, MAB losing. But one of my hero's as a kid losing ? ahh that would effect me bad as a boxing fan. Before i have a Amateur fight, i sometimes watch RJJ fights to give me inspiration. I hope he can retire on top he deserves it.

If that's the case how did you handle back-to-back KO losses?

You should be watching another sport now

Read what i said Fenster i said i will stop watching the sport, for a month i didn't say i'd quit watching the sport altogether. And when he did get KO'ed back to back i did stop following boxing for quite sometime.

One last thing don't tell me what i should and shouldn't do thank you very much.
