Has anyone hit bottom faster than Jones?

The thing that upset me the most about Roy is that he never, and I mean never got up from a knock down. I've been a huge fan of Roy over the years, one of the biggest. I've often thought on some levels that he was the Muhammad Ali of my generation when he as at his best. I think you'd be hard pressed to find someone in boxing that had that rare combination of speed, knockout power, and flashiness when Roy was at his best. But I really wish he would stop. I'd have to disagree with one of the posters in here who said that Paul Williams will fall to the bottom fast. I just don't see that happening. I do however, see alot of great boxers tripping over their own feet running from a fight with him.

He got up from a serious knockdown against Lou Del Valle. He walked right into a straight left that dropped him like a sack of rocks.
The thing with Roy is I dont think he ever had a light heavyweight chin, he just never got hit clean. Now that hes slower and older the punches are finding the mark easier on him. Guys with unorthodox skills that rely on tremendous speed always become ordinary overnight once they slow down. Same thing with Ali only his chin was so good he just hung in and took sustained beatings that proved nothing. Jones should have retired after Ruiz.

I've seen Roy get back up after two knockdowns.

Zab Judah? I'm not saying he was on a mountain, but he fell from somekind of goodness.

Good call...

According to Majesty/Starr/Purist/BrooklyNiteQueen/PGH Angel Eyes he was an unstoppable force.

Really Jones takes the prize here. I remember his trainer saying that Jones slowed down a bit before he faced Tarver again so he knew what was up, but that fight was the start of Jones hitting the brick wall. He lost three in a row and was knocked out badly in two straight fights. He would have never lost to Glen Johnson at his peak. Tarver I could see always giving Jones problems, but more like he did in the first fight, not knocking him out or beating him silly like he did in the third fight.
