Is Roy Jones Jr traning hard enough??

[Southside Slugger]

I was wondering the same thing. I mean the one guy he "slap fights" with looks old and fat. Not to be mean but how can he bring Roys game up for the fight?

For me it would be a dream come true for Roy to beat Joe convincingly but I dont think it will happen. Im not a Joe hatter just have been a big Roy fan for years.

I love these dramatic excalamations of claims. If that's how that is worded, I don't know. Man, when Lacy lost to Calzaghe, THAT SUCKED. That like really sucked, like really really sucked. About as much as anything in any sport can crush you like. I felt like I did when the Giants dropped game 6 of the world series, it was crushing. But I even came on here that night, I don't think even something like that especially at this stage of Roy's career would conjure up a reaction like that.

The oddest one was Yoitsdan, dude just flat out never came back after Hatton-Mayweather.

Oh and I don't think it matters to be honest, he's still fast but he doesn't have the legs or explosiveness anymore. I don't see him winning more than 1 or two rounds.

I am as big a Roy Jones fan as anybody...but he is physically past his prime and more importantly...mentally...he is no where near the fighter he once was. For whatever the reasons...the knockouts towards the end of his career have changed him (they would change ANY fighter). Does he still have fast hands....sure. But he has lost his tremendous reflexes...and he has definitely lost that confidence that he had in his prime...that when he stepped into the ring...no one could handle him physically. He is gun shy for a reason. He fought a completely SHOT and inactive Tito...and sure he won...but he hardly looked spectacular. I am no fan of Joe's at all...and i still wouldn't be shocked if Roy won. But this fight is happening many years too late.
