The Word Shot in relation to Jones is used way to loosely

I agree with some of what your saying JT, but my two main concern's is that RJJ doesn't have the stamina or the legs anymore. He constantly lays on the ropes and even when he had Tito, Hanshaw, badly hurt in his comeback fights.

He didn't pull the trigger and i don't know why, was it stamina issues ? or was he worried about being clocked on the chin ? i really don't know but some good points for RJJ, is that he is the bigger man. He is still faster than Joe Calzaghe, and he still has a good straight right hand lead which is Joe Calzaghe's biggest weakness.

But the point is can RJJ pull the trigger enough, and will his stamina hold up to the constant pressure of Joe Calzaghe ?

Regaining great stamina and having the ability to let your punches go...very tough at nearly 40. Not to mention his great reflexes have slipped considerably...so he gets hit more (even Tito was able to land). I just think it's near impossible for ANY fighter to be the same after brutal knockouts (especially at Roy's age). I hope i am wrong.

I thought Tito's best work was to the body. He put earmuffs on a lot and relied on his hands and elbows to block more, compared to his younger self who would slip and counter.

On bright spot I saw in the Tito fight was a commitment to the jab replacing wild lead left hooks. His fundamentals look pretty good.
