But he doesn't really know the jab. A guy needs to learn the jab, know the jab, and use the jab. And these guys don't do it today.” KnowsNeedsUseHandsTodayGuyLeftKnow HowLandInstanceFighterHookPawsRoy Jones Author:Larry Holmes
“I think Roy Jones is a great fighter, a great puncher. But you know, he doesn't use the jab. But he's got everything else going for him. The problem that hurts Roy Jones in the boxing business, in the celebrity business, is his attitude. Attitude hurts, because you say a lot of things that you probably don't really mean and you say them because you don't want to be put down. But you've got a lot of people who don't like what you say, and that hurts. And that's what Roy Jones has been hurt by. That's what I have been hurt by.” PeopleThinkingKnowsWantMeanHas BeensUseProblemHurtAttitudeFighterBoxingReally MeanBeen HurtRoy Jones Author:Larry Holmes
