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

[JT Rock]

The more I think about it, the more entertaining I think this will be. but From the perspective of being a Joe fan, I hate this fight. He has absolutley nothing to gain from it, all the pundits/fans/'experts'
like to point out to Roy's diminishing physical abilities, yet it is painfully obvious that Joe is no where near his best physically either.

At least Roy showed against Tito that he still had zip (if not outright power) in his punches, something that Joe hasn't showed since his fight against that Armenian fella who's parents forgot to put vowels in his name. Joe was never a one punch KO artist (very very few people are), but at his best he could still buzz and buckle fighters when he picked his punches, even though the stupid flurries you talk about have been creeping into his game for a long time now.

I agree there are so many variatables and layers to this fight, that make it great, would it have been better 7 years ago? sure, but the drama and dynamics wouldnt even be as close to what they are now

It wouldn't have been better 7 years ago JT, because it would have been a one sided beat down

I agree, but then no one could have said anything since they were both in their primes
