I'm not so sure anymore. He still has some KO power, but doesn't have the speed or stamina to sustain it. He had Hanshaw face down on the canvas with almost a minute left in the round. He didn't throw another punch for 30 seconds after he got up. The old Roy Jone Jr. would have ended the fight 10 seconds after he got back up. Where did his hand speed go? He used to be able to hit you 2 times on a counter before the punch was over. Now he spends too much time on the ropes waiting to get a shot in.
He is still my favorite boxer, but unless he changes his style, his time may be over
