I have all these DVDs, complete fights of Ali, Sugar Ray Leonard, Mayweather, Manny Pacquiao, Tyson, and all these great dudes, which I have watched sometimes a couple of dozen times each. And I went and bought a Roy Jones Jr set! The guy is such a washout! At his best he was always running scared, and by the time he fought Antonio Tarver I was happy to see him get crushed.

The taunting is a cultural thing. Ali carried it to a fine art. But Jones actually didn't like being hit, which is crazy for a boxer. Mayweather also doesn't like being hit, but hit him hard enough and he gets angry and fights back. Jones just backs away!

Very true! The only time he fought a really good fighter was when he fought Bernard Hopkins, and for some reason that fight was really lousy. The second time they fought Hopkins kicked his ass. I think the irritating thing about Jones is that he always tried to look so stylish, even when he was fighting badly.
