    Did Anyone Hear...

    Did anyone else hear the part of the Roy Jones vs. Tarver documentary were Emanuel Steward says Roy may have suffered a brain injury. He said Roy might not ever be able to take a good shot again. Whats your opinion?

    No, I didn't. How can that be true though? He's barely tooken ANY punishment over the years, but maybe his last 2 fights have killed his brain in a sense.

    How would Manny know this anyway?

      He had 6% body fat when he was at 199 and then he had to lost 24 pounds to fight Tarver....

          Best way to not find out is to not get hit. Roy was a master at that before 2004. If he can get back to some of his old ways as well as adapt to some new ones, he will be in good shape. I have to agree with Sr in that "Roy is hongry like a mutha****a!"

            Roy just hasn't been the same in his last two fights, I woulden't be surprised. He's speech is a bit slurred, hard to catch but he is obviously thinking very hard before talking, especially in commentary. These are developing signs of a brain injury.

              he said it happens to a lot of fighters who have been knocked out consecutivly without having a good amount of rest. I hope it isn't true tho.

                  ...Thats what I'm thinking TRUTH and I seriously fear for Roy's life in this fight. I haven't been a fan of his in the last several years. I actually did like Roy at one time. All of his Klitschko **** talking pissed me off. I have bashed him and trash talked him before but I would not want to "really" see him seriously hurt. I don't think he should fight again after those two KO's. They were both brutal and they both probably took their toll.

                    I don't know if Rj has "tooken" too much punishment, but i sense maybe you have as evidenced by your use of grammer.
