He s a real thinking fighter, like myself. Some critics have said that Roy s skills have shown a slight deterioration in his most recent fights. Johnson scoffs at the suggestion. Every time Roy Jones fights, I m gonna be there watching. I never put a lot of stock in how a fighter looks when you watch him in a fight.
Styles make fights.
It s hard to gauge if Roy has lost anything recently. Johnson was born and raised in the notorious Fifth Ward section of Houston, Texas. When he was a youngster, an uncle introduced him to boxing. I played all kinds of sports as a kid, Little League baseball, football. Then my uncle, Kenneth Walker, who was on the Salvation Army Boys Club Boxing Team, he took me into the gym one day.
