  • Roy Jones Jr is arguably the greatest pound for pound fighter ever. His freakish gifts were unlike any other. Speed, power, defensive elusiveness, and reflexes that have never been rivaled. His reign was dominant, and he captured belts in multiple divisions. This original documentary examines the entirety of Roy's career.

    Roy was a once in a lifetime kind of boxer. In his prime there wasn’t a person that he couldn’t hit. He was insanely fast, could punch from any angle and direction and had a super high boxing iq. I’m grateful I was alive to see him back when he was in his prime.

The only fighter who was ever able to duplicate, and maybe even surpass Roy is the Boston fighter Joe Calzaghe. He actually beat Roy Jones and made him look average. Hats off to Joe as well. He was just as sick as Roy if not better. He retired undefeated if I remember correctly. Still Roy's skill and ability was one of the best ever.

      Dude, initially just appreciated your comment as RJJ is still, IMO, the p4p GOAT. (at least until Loma retires. Roy himself agrees w/ me here) Then I noticed your pic. Again IMO as a (former) lifelong FB fan, #16 is, for me personally, another f’n GOAT and another one just as genuine as Jones. Was a fan since his ASU days, lived in Phx then, and his Rose Bowl game was straight-up legend shit, even in a loss. I’m a CO native and when #7 retired I dreamt about seeing “The Snake” in orange & blue, when that finally happened I can’t even describe the emotions. I hadn’t ever even cared much about that side of the ball until Jake, he brought a defensive intensity to the offense. Maybe not the most skilled QB ever but he GENUINELY wanted to WIN and didn’t give a shit if it looked pretty or not! Favre & Elway are really the only close comparisons. Those seasons were the summit for me and really the demise as well, wasn’t ever the same after that. The contempt I developed for Mike Shanahan over that situation boiled over to the rest of the game and essentially ruined it from within for me. It stayed fun thru the Manning years but that was the end for me, they’re all just a pack of showboating, money fueled whores now. No more ‘TEAMs’, just a bunch of ‘I’s.
      Apologies for the ‘life story’ comment but Roy Jones Jr. and Jake Plummer are 2 men that I hold in equally high regard, not just in their respective fields but also in life. I actually have my photo with each of them and I’m typically not the photo-op type. I couldn’t just happen to notice your pic on a RJJ video and not say something. Thanks for stoking the memories, cheers to you!

    Roy Jones Jr was an absolutely astonishing boxer! I watched his bouts in the '88 Olympic Games and thought that nothing could stop him winning the gold, he was so dominant in every fight. Then that fucking shambles of a robbery occurred and I was gobsmacked.
    The thing about your man Roy Jones Jr was that, throughout his career, he invariably fought top-notch, quality boxers and not only beat them but made them look like amateurs. Furthermore, there wasn't a single journeyman among his opponents. Which can't be said for many world champions of any era. A boxer with such supreme skill and punching power comes along about every 50 - 60 years or so. It's small wonder that he's become a true legend. He absolutely deserves it!

    I remember Tarver giving Roy a hard time about how losing the weight didn't matter but when Tarver bulked up to heavyweight for the Rocky movie he was in then had to get back down to 175 lbs to fight Hopkins he finally admitted the weight loss really set him back. Chris Byrd experienced the same thing as he was a legitimately competitive heavyweight for a few years but tried to get back down to light heavyweight and got destroyed. It's one thing to lose 5-10 pounds for a fight but once you start losing over that, especially muscle weight, your body isn't in good shape when you're fighting at an elite level. Yes, in terms of health compared to a normal person you're in great shape but not in MMA or boxing, that kind of loss is really damaging and it sealed Jones fate. Tarver eventually moved up because he also just wasn't the same. It's a lesson future boxers hopefully learn.

    If you look at Hopkins ( who put up a pretty decent attempt against Roy in his prime but he wasn't in Roy's class ) he's a classic case of "what is not born is made " and that's why he was able to keep on fighting well into his 40s whereas Roy faded quickly ...his punch resistance and I also think his legs ...but having said that Roy was THE most exciting fighter that I ever watched ...he was a fucking freak.
