Agree with almost everything except prime Roy isn't knocking Taylor out. He almost never engaged guys who could punch whom he could clearly outbox. He would have been content to beat him 12-0.
But Jones also made people pay for their weaknesses and openings, and Jermains lack of balance and uncomfortableness inside of his jab and how easily he;'s backed to the ropes Roy may very well have stopped him since jermain would get hit a lot!
