Oh roys had a balance problem for five years has he cos u tell us he has? Did u see the glen johnson and tarver fights in 2004 where he suddenly had legs of cement and couldn't pivot or move......his balance went 11 years ago shhitburn.you have the judgement and deductive powers of a dogs arssehole!

His balance going is not motor neurone related ......its age and wear and tear related.......if you"d ever have boxed at some level like i did for 15 years and ran daily on concrete you might understand that. The way a person talks and reasons is a primary tester of motor neurone skills not doing a five atep pivot.......hope that was of help doctor ? Er you are a doctor i presume making such medical evaluations without having personally examined roy?
Where to begin with this.

No, mugabi, Roy didn't personally tell me he's had a balance problem. He didn't need to tell me personally. He said it on camera, in the above linked video. And dismissing facts because the person involved didn't directly tell you, or because you haven't personally conducted the test, is such a irrational attitude that if applied uniformly there would be no debate at all on Boxrec. It's a berserk thing to even suggest.

To further illustrate the depth of your own stupidity, you dismiss the idea of Jones being brain damaged because 'I'm not a doctor' and 'I haven't personally examined him', while in the exact same paragraph you make your own diagnosis!

Having personally examined your thinking skills, my conclusion is that your 15 years of boxing should have ended at least a decade sooner, for your own mental wellbeing.

To me at least, it served to introduce me to Roy in a way no other article or study ever could.

A long, long read. But very dextrous and delicate in peeling back the layers of his persona.

It explained to me why he still fights.
Fantastic article, thanks for the link :TU:

That article was fascinating. A strange, haunted man.
