One of the greatest P4P boxers of all time! Roy Jones in his prime was a perfect combination of unmatched speed, power and reflexes. Just imagine how highly he'd be ranked today if he retired after his Heavyweight title win against John Ruiz. www.patreon.com/haNZAgod
@@robo-man8638 No, he wouldn't. It's a myth that getting whooped by Tarver (et al.) destroyed his legacy; there wasn't really much of a legacy to destroy. His resume is weak--probably the weakest of any fighter anyone is foolish enough to call the GOAT. After a green Hopkins (who at that point was on about equal footing with Segundo Mercado) and a drained Toney whom he'd avoided for 1992/1993, Jones didn't get in the ring with another live body for the better part of a decade. (Vinny Pazienza, really?!) Jones went to embarrassing lengths to avoid quality challengers (Jackson, Nunn, Liles, Tarver, etc.) and not without reason. But he certainly looked flashy beating up on retired cops, taxi drivers, street sweepers, etc. And when getting dropped by Lou Del Valle.
@@lefez9015 What does Toney's resume have to do with anything? That said, Toney does have a considerably better resume than Jones. Tim Littles, for example, is a better challenger than any of Jones' opponents at 168 or 175. Ditto Charles Williams. And Iran Barkley. And I don't need to mention Jirov or Holyfield (whom Jones gave the runaround). Nor need I point out that Toney beat Ruiz more impressively, and a load of other heavies Jones wouldn't go near. And sure it's Toney's fault he was drained, but then Jones did wait to sign to fight him until after he'd ballooned to cruiserweight (!) to fight Vinson Durham. And Jones never granted a rematch, and it's not as if he was busy fighting murderers.
His hand speed was so incredible that his looping shots were faster than his opponents straight shots. It's like Buddy McGirt said - there's a lot of things Roy did wrong, but he was so fast nobody could ever take advantage of it. If only he'd gotten out before those reflexes started to slow.
And if only his trainer had fixed his technical holes early on. Just see what Mayweather, with less talent, was able to do into his late 30s because he had a great base.
@@l00d3r Mayweather spent years refining his technique that's why he had such a successful career. He did his training from a 5 year old until 40. To become the legend that he is, he had to do the kind of training that most people would find impossible to do.
@@l00d3r comparing him to mayweather is laughable, rjj had 0 defense I repeat ZERO DEFENSE. his whole game was based on pure natural speed and reflexes.
Kadafi yaki I gotta go wit mike for the greatest gifted he had handspeed power and a radar for fighting and he was only 20 but I see your argument Roy could definitely be the most god gifted fighter but in my opinion it’s mike
Wobey BryantTV i know where you coming from bro!! Mike was a boy in a machines body ! Both were god gifted on another level! Roy for me pips it on speed! But mike was a explosive freak of nature
Same bro. Well, I guess technically I used to watch his fights with my pops but I was too young to remember most of them. Definitely my favorite fighter ever though.
Jesus christ his footwork and natural fighter instincts of capitalizing in every opportunity just shows so much. It's like when you master something you just start mixing it up to make it entertaining for the crown with taunts and shit. Absolute fucking beast
Speed kills. What's nice about Roy Jones is that even after his remarkable skills and hand-speed diminished he kept fighting. Boxing was and is his passion. I didn't know how much a boxing historian he was until Jones said his favorite boxer was Salvador Sanchez. A great boxing mind and resource for knowledge for young boxers coming up today.
He was close to a perfect fighter in his prime. He had The fastest hands in boxing history Ridiculous power for his size Great reflexes High IQ. But his only weakness was his Footwork. And maybe his chin although in his prime he was dropped only once. And he was probably the most physically gifted athlete i have ever seen.
I really don't understand Roy Jones Jr haters. This man was one of the most dynamic (great speed, great power and spectacular defensive reflexes) fighter on film. Because of his KO loses, his ring iq gets seriously underrated. Best boxing commentator in the business. There will never be another Roy Jones Jr.
Roy Jones Jr was a fucking mutant… straight alien 👽 He would throw left hooks instead of a jab & land them with ease, think about that, absolutely fucking crazy
Twat was it he do. Or what say r u 8 mth old or same now? Could you give me a “Say what is it lead in your pencil or be the water” sing it a gain my sweetest thing haha wtf me high as a kite on the bricks
Prime Roy Jones Jr. would and could beat any fighter. Even when he was touched (like his knockdown against Lou Del Valle) he was so far ahead of his opponents that they could't even track him with a heat seeker. His speed and athleticism was one-of-a-kind.
Jones is my fav fighter sugar’s close as well. Fighters prime is hard to tell is it in the gym his last fight his first belt last belt all three belts or before or after the bell. Few good shots in there tho cheers for that clip Bud.
He was the Shaq of boxing, arguably the most dominant boxer of all-time. Although he didn't have great competition, the couple times he did in his prime (i.e James Toney, Montell Griffin) he beat them easily. Just like when Lakers Shaq played against easy bigmen, but the few times he played the great bigs like Duncan and Garnett he still beat them 1 on 1 no problems
This was the most amazing fighter I had the pleasure to watch the closest thing to a comic book character five times faster than you three times stronger than you reflexes you only dream about, in my opinion the Bruce lee of boxing in his prime
@cunny funt the reference is to his physical abilities, but with actual application, but I'm pretty sure your comment was to provoke a comment as opposed to something that would exhibit your appreciation for the genetic gifts of Roy Jones jr. in his prime as well as the sport of boxing, you goal was achieved
@cunny funt did you get the gist of my statement, and the fact that the actual focus was on Roy and not Bruce yet you chose to comment on Bruce. Let us not get distracted what was it about Roy that impressed you?
People in the comments keep talking about "he did everything wrong and he's athletic", really? . Do you think athleticism and bad boxing is going to get you the belt at the highest level of boxing especially in that era? Jones understands boxing very well and was a smart fighter , please give him his respect
Amazing fighter so talented pity he went on too long just the slightest slowing of his reflexes exposed the technical failings they`d hidden so well till then.
@@TFB97 Stop. Don't act like kessler was anything but a b level fighter, eubank was a shell of his former self as well as roy and you shouldn't have even brought up lacey. He did beat hopkins though, thats one that cant be argued with.
Most naturally gifted boxer ever. Reflexes of a Cat, ridiculous hand speed, great power and boxes of tricks...he had no defense but it didn't matter when he was in his prime..fought longer than he should have and lost the speed and reflexes.
Roys prime would either be at super middleweight and Light Heavyweight (until 2004). Soon as he beat Ruiz he had to lose 14 pounds of muscle in just 6 months, which was a big toll on his body. And as well as that, his athletism slowed down, and he was exposed. As he needed his speed and brilliant footwork, to avoid shots. When his footwork went, so did his prime.

There is also ray robinson and riddick bowe.
Probably one of the most talented fighters ever in boxing. Roy was a force of nature.
Prime RJJ had so much raw talent, it was out the stratosphere - The Bo Jackson of boxer-punchers.
Great comparison
My favorite fighter.
Too bad i was too young to watch him live during his prime years.
True

Great video Roy Jones jr was an amazing boxer one of the all time greats.
Great video mate, it really shows the awesome talent that was Roy in his prime...we can never have enough Roy highlights.
This is by far my all time favorite highlight reel 👏
Thanks man glad you like it!
The level of dominance is ridiculous. Thanks so much for the video!
In my opinion there is no one more phenomenal in there prime then Roy he's in my top 3 all time

He's the best ever when it comes to movement! He did things that nobody else could do!
Yall must have forgot!
he was so good
Fastest boxer ever......closes the distance like lightning from 2 meters out.....unbelievable 🥊
For someone that big speed and defense was very impresive. Legend
He was close to a perfect fighter in his prime. He had
The fastest hands in boxing history
Ridiculous power for his size
Great reflexes
High IQ.
But his only weakness was his Footwork. And maybe his chin although in his prime he was dropped only once. And he was probably the most physically gifted athlete i have ever seen.
agri w/ that
His footwork was great. Can't compare athleticism in different sports.
@@codmobile07 ?
His footwork was one of the best qualities he had. Most of the dodges and in outs are thanks to it

Me neither but there will always be haters for everyone/everything
He was doing everything wrong, right. That's how physically gifted Roy was. I believe he could have been a great in any sport.
His power paralyses his opponents 😮
Roy Jones Jr's highlights without "Can't be touched"? 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Yeah they are the best
Best Roy Jones Montage I've Seen 🔥🔥🔥🔥
Probably my absolute favorite boxer of my time. My next dog will be named Roy Jones. Balance of ferocity and tactical, with air-cutting speed.
Gem Of A Video, p4p Legend
When he was in his prime no other fighter was even mentioned
Who’s here after Jones vs mike tyson fight confirmed
Me, I can’t wait for that fight.
I was here before and after
Roy Jones Jr was a fucking mutant… straight alien 👽
He would throw left hooks instead of a jab & land them with ease, think about that, absolutely fucking crazy
I always remembered what he did at 0:31. Lee Wylie posted a breakdown of it and it’s even better now when I watch it. Sweet Science for Real!!
If Roy Jones Jr's highlight reel was in a movie, that movie would be criticized for having unrealistic combat 😂
Very true haha
When u gotta register your hands as legal weapons 😂
😂😂😂😂😂😂
A God amongst insects. 🥊👑
Great
In his prime you could make a case Roy was the best to ever do it

Mastered the craft Perfected the craft.
Superman!
Imagine if him and Tyson fought back then
Legend 👑
Smoothest style ever greatest mw and lhw ever can't be touched
Speed and accuracy prolly his 2 top skills
Those lunging hooks were crazy
Beautiful. 🍺
1:01 this sht was scary
In his prime Roy James was lightening fast in the ring as I was from getting away from da po-lice
Man, the fights we didn't see. Toy and Toney vs Eubank Nigel Benn Jackson Mcleeland Calzaghe. Another golden age of the middleweigts
No one could compete with his hand speed, it wasn't even close.
G.O.A.T 💯
Finally
RJJ is my number one favorite boxer and very high on my list of all time favorite combat sport athletes.
Poetry in motion
Just unbelievable.. wow
1:06 Dude got knocked out so badly, I genuinely feel bad for him.
freak of nature
Roy in his prime was the best fighter of all time
1:15 the fuck literal horror movie shit
Captain Hook is my favorite boxer of all time.
Prime Roy Jones Jr. would and could beat any fighter. Even when he was touched (like his knockdown against Lou Del Valle) he was so far ahead of his opponents that they could't even track him with a heat seeker. His speed and athleticism was one-of-a-kind.
He’s my top 5 of all time he’s bad ass Roy was a monster
Talent wise, definitely. Maybe number 1. Resume was a bit meh for his talent though.
Pat Mustard true wish his resume was better but talent wise he’s my top 3 of all time not even debatable how special he was
1:33 that was so smooth
Reminds me of Sugar Ray Robinson's left hook.
Agree ..that’s who birth that sort of left hook
Roy Jones Jr bodyshot KO of virgil hill probably the best bodyshot KO in boxing history.
Pride of a champion!
Jones is my fav fighter sugar’s close as well. Fighters prime is hard to tell is it in the gym his last fight his first belt last belt all three belts or before or after the bell. Few good shots in there tho cheers for that clip Bud.
Still to this day he’s my all time best boxer
I didn't forget, but enjoyed the video nonetheless.
Four left hooks in a second
Mr untouchable back in his prime
Unbelievable!!
Probably the fastest LHW puncher Ive ever seen. James Toney was a Helluva fighter, but Roy made him look like a journeyman opponent....
Omg he is a machine
Him vs Paz was epic. Paz had no quit but literally just couldn’t match the skill and speed of Roy
No saber retirarse a tiempo .tremendo Superman jones
My favourite boxer ever
Only when he dies will people start to acknowledge his greatness !
People worship and think GGG and Canelo are better 😂
Fr when mayweather dies they gonna start acknowledge his skills
