who should he fight next? or do you think that it's better for him to retire? i personally think that after a fight or two.. he should retire.. your thoughts?
imo Jones had some great natural abilities,but lacked "boxing,schooling,skills".
I predicted when he got older he would not have enough basics to last long.
Toney had over forty fights and was undefeated,Hopkins was about midway in his career and on the the rise. Being gifted with natural ability Jones was the top man of his time.IMO his lack of motivation and concentration led to his two ko defeats.Some fighters can't get over ko's.
Even though he destroyed him in the rematch. Montell Griffith or Griffin whatever his name is gave Roy a great run in their 1st fight. And Roy was in his prime. He was not unbeatable.
the griffin fight was at lightheavy not 164 i could see the signs when rjj first moved to lightheavy that he had slightly faded. as i was saying his best weight was 168.
If you don't count the one heavy match almost half of Jones fights were at lightheavy. After beating McCallum he was still tops.
