my grandfather would beat Roy jones
 

he'd throw a leg kick an jones wouldn't even begin to know how to defend against that...cuz he trained to sport box, not to fight...u know, where ur not only banned from doing anything besides punching, but there's even punches ur banned from throwing (rabbit punches an back fists for instance)...plus he fights with his wrists wrapped so he doesn't have to worry about supporting them so they don't fracture an he's got big ass gloves to protect his knuckles an the gloves themselves add a tremendous amount of weight an power to the punches...

lol @ boxing being even remotely comparable to an actual fight...

this thread fucking sucks. No one cares about your Poison Taint Tempo Brazilian Blowjob Kah rah TAY skillz. You'd get your ass wrecked by anyone who is a better fighter than you regardless of your fagg0ty discipline. I hope your grandfather gets hit and run by a trolley

Roy jones is overrated as fuck

you've never boxed before, eh?


What most martial artists fail to realize is that there's a huge X factor in any physical altercation - athleticism. Boxers, unlike most other martial artists, are supreme athletes. Even professional MMA is playing catchup with the level of athlete they're able to attract (not an opinion, that's economics). Plus, there are plenty of tricks to keep a kickboxer off guard (head feints, footwork, angles, etc). To say boxing isn't fighting is ridiculous.

I'm no super tough guy, but I've trained in a number of different styles for a number of different years - Kung fu, boxing, BJJ and muay thai - and if I learned anything, it's that there are badasses and pussies in every genre. I used to think taekwando was fag shit, until I started sparring with this dude with a background in it and he nearly broke my ribs. Respect to anyone who masters any combat skill - they can probably kick your ass.

though I love Roy Jones, this is truth. He's flashy and entertaining, and a beast of an athlete, but as a technical boxer he was just above average (which he made up for being unorthodox and strong/fast as fuck). I always loved his clashes with Hopkins for that purpose: athleticism vs. technique. In their youth, athleticism won out. As they aged, technique won the day.

see how much more sense these threads all make without eddie railing for his boss?
I wanna know how much he gets paid to be Jones unpaid promoter...
