BHOP a Legend = Jones Jr. a Bum???

Bhop is still whooping the best the sport has why Roy Jones Jr. has tarnished his legacy big time. Jones getting knocked out again. Roy Jones Jr. is not as great as people thought if you know the sport Jones for most of his career ducked big fights and fought a lot of tomato cans so he could look good. And when Jones fought John Ruiz for the Heavyweight title that was honestly nothing Ruiz was as slow as they come so Jones could just pity pat flurry and run and hide.

I think BHOP will be considered honestly as one of the best ever and Jones will be remeber as somewhat over rated and lost to bums badly at the end of his career.

PS. Oh and yes Jones beat Bhop in a close fight early in their careers but if anyone follows boxing BHOP developed his craft to perfection over time throughout his career why Jones was nothing more then an all flash and dodge big fights a lot. He would never fight BHOP again when BHOP was at the top of his craft he only did it for the money most recently.

I agree that B-Hop is a legend and better than Roy, but to call Roy a bum is ignorant especially when you're claiming anyone who knows boxing can see that.

The difference is, like you said, B-Hop mastered the craft of boxing. Roy always relied on his athleticism. He was one of the fastest, strongest and had the quickest reflex of anyone at his weight class when he was in his prime. That's what made him good. He was able to get away with things most boxers can't.

The reason he looks like a bum now is because he still relies on that athleticism, but when you're older, it's just not there. The mistakes he used to be able to get away with, he no longer can and gets caught with punches he used to not. His style was based on him being a superior athelte.

B-Hop relies on his craftiness and knowing all the tricks in the book of boxing to win his fights. He's incredible.

What is sad is Jones still thinks he is good. Someone better help him retire before he gets killed in the ring or permanent brain damage.

I completely agree and don't think he should have fought last night. He's needs to stop while he still has enough brain cells left to do color commentary for HBO.

Yeah boxing around the world need to strip Jones of his boxing license before he gets Ivan Drago'od like Appollo Creed.
