Green's a hard puncher and a half decent pressure fighter. Roy has a poor chin, his legs have gone, his reflexes have diminished and he's taken to lying against the ropes constantly. I guess this shouldn't really come as a great surprise, but I'll admit to being a little bit shocked. Partly because I thought the fecking fight was taking place this coming weekend, more so because Jone's deterioration seems so surreal now that its finally complete.
He has been past it for a long time now, can't believe all the hype when Calzaghe fought him and it was been described as a super fight although not sure if calzaghe ever fought anyone of real quality while they was at the top.
Jones Jr is the perfect example of one of "those" athletes, you know the guys who exist in rarefied air with such unbelievable talent they can do anything they want.
He never learned to box. He relied on his catlike reflexes and unholy hand speed to beat people. As soon as those began to fade he was average and he has been for awhile now. It's a shame when you really think about it. How good could he have been had he actually learned to box in addition to his natural tools?
