I keep hearing how that constantly changing weight killed his reflexes and athleticism that made him so great, what is the basis for that?
Did Roy Jones Jr moving to heavyweight really kill his career?

He never looked right again. He looked really good against Ruiz and then pretty clearly lost something when he went back to LHW.

I'm sure those posts are long gone now.... but on this form many people were saying this was just his way to end his career. Move up to heavy, beat Ruiz, retire.
Everyone I recall were saying that a guy of his size doing that, at the age he was at at the time.... that there was no way he could lose all of that bulk and still have the abilities he once had at light heavy
