There was no one like Jones when he was at the top of his game. Incredible speed and skill. Nice to see a guy have a fantastic career and come out of it with the money he deserved in a game full of sharks and conmen like Don King. Thanks for the fights champ!
Roy Jones Jr is exceptional. I'm grateful for this documentary because it highlights what it means to be a champion. True grit. The ability to find a way when life has beaten you down yet you still keep coming...
Roy Jones won the Olympics...nobody really disputes this. The IOC should make peace and give him his gold medal. They gave gold medals to others who didn't really deserve it
Mayweather ain't shitt Mayweather's a dirty fighter cocky and he only fights people he know he can beat the greatest of all time with Mike Tyson is that fucking never would have lost is old Coach and his white Coach he was still been champ undefeated buddy got tied in with Don King that's why we went downhill
Roy Jones Jr was an absolute phenomenon. He unquestionably deserves to be mentioned among the ranks of the greatest fighters in known Boxing history, to be sure. Any of the people who do not realise this fact, simply do not realise this fact. Absolute max respect, Roy Jones Jr.
I never did understand for a moment why Roy Jones Jr ever faced any type of criticism or difficulty whatsoever in the Boxing world...(?!)... What an absolutely incredible Boxer..(!!)....and truly remarkable human being, also. One of the absolute best, without question....I have always had nothing but the utmost respect and appreciation for this brilliant exponent of the Sweet Science. Absolutel max respect, Roy Jones Jr.
I remember watching that Olympic fight live back in '88 and was SO pissed at Roy being blatantly robbed of the gold medal that I came within a split second of throwing a shoe through my tv...As a true boxing fan, it was horrible...smh
It still remains the most blatant robbery of all time in boxing. Nothing has ever matched this IMO. To think the IOC did this to amateur boxers is shocking. Boxing is corrupt and politics.
I'm so thankful that he didn't quit after being robbed at the Olympics, the world would've missed it on poetry in motion if he had!!! In my opinion, he's the greatest true boxer to have ever put gloves on!!!
I live 3 miles from roy he is a very humble person he is by far one of the greatest to be a man to do all this by himself not only that but possibly be a legend
Robbed his whole career, Roy Jones was destined to always be underrated. Antonio Tarver was on anabolic steroids and Glenn Jones was suspected of having loaded gloves. He truly is and will always be the most talented fighter to ever live!
That was to make the weight at heavyweight which any 10 stone fighter would have to do ,the losing the weight messed him up and deflated him which is why he looked so bad against Tarver a man not in his league several years earlier.
At his best RJJ was for me the 2nd greatest pound for pound fighter ever and Robinson from what the experts say in the 1940's as a Welterweight did things that make him a truly legendary untouchable fighter.He won 88 amateur fights and only lost 1 of his first 143 fights and that was to the mythical Jake La Motta as well ,then he lost to an in incredible shape Randolph Turpin on Turpin's home soil and after several fights in a few weeks too.
Honestly I wasent even born or thought of when Muhammed Ali boxed but, I still acknowledge him as the greatest.... but with that being said Roy jones for me with boxing is the same as With Kobe bryant for basketball! I idolized roy as a kid and he will forever be my absolute favorite fighter of all time and we are from the same state!
Don King didn't do anything that you have been doing two black Fighters for years... He was actually better to Black Fighters than the Jews always are, that's why he was able to succeed... What do all of you non Fighters think you know better than all the rest of these Fighters, they would have signed with him if he was as bad as you think he is or... As the Jewish media has made him out to be
You need to look up obviously who Don King is bro cuz Don King is a fucking snake yeah he get you in and then he takes all your money he stole millions and millions from Mike Tyson and he's putting some boxers to wear if you don't sign with me all in your career and you don't even Pam she'll like that you need to look up Don King you obviously don't know boxing
Don king come across to me as being Manipulative sociopath most of them have empathy that why he was able to not just steal bat basically take food off boxers tables.
I was at that Virgil Hill fight in Biloxi, MS. It costed me 600. bucs for me and my Lady to sit down on the floor and there we got to take pictures with Kennedy McKinney, Vince Phillips and pal around with them sort of. It made me become a fan of theirs. There was a lot of excitement in the building when Roy and Virgil began fighting, I was a bit concerned that Virgil was too big for Roy and may beat him because moving up in weight is never without that risk. But as soon as the fight began Roy began to dominate. When Roy hit him with that body shot it sounded like someone took a 2" x 4" and hit a big tree as hard as they could with it. It actually echoed through the Biloxi Coliseum, no doubt..
Interesting that he was influenced by fighting roosters....Roy was also born the Year of the Rooster, and I always thought he had some of the mannerisms of a fighting rooster in the ring
Man he was fighting bigger guys? I knew he was good but I didn't know he was that good! His intelligence also impressed me. He put himself in a position to be successful but never let the money or the fans get to his mentality. He didn't get played like Tyson. Definitely the best boxer I've seen.
Descent, no scandals, determined, tried to do best for the sport, but the whales wont let an honour man just pass by them, either they own him or destruct him, yet, he is a legend.
Prime roy jones best boxer of the 90s and early 2000s., lets face it he beat prime toney. hopkins with 1 hand c'mon. Moved up and smashed ruiz at hw and that was the end of RJ moving up and down in weigh ruined his career.
Your right about Roy moving up and down in weight, it ruined his career! but ur wrong about him being the best in the 90's and early 2000's, Skill wise. roy was the best of all times.
Mike Tyson fan here... But from 24 to 29 years old Jones was the best boxer in the game.. Pound4Pound . He just made it look so easy ... One of the Top 3 Middleweights of all time
He said Roy's a boxer, he's not a fighter! RJ.jr was great. Thank god he didn't quit. Quitters never can become winners & Roy ended up being one of the best to ever enter the ring!!!!!!
And that is why i ALWAYS play fight night championship edition with Roy Jones Jr to this very day. Why, because you know Roy DON'T ever lose. Best pfp fighter EVER. FACT!!!
It amazes me how crazed Joe Calzaghe fans really believe that Joe would've stood a chance against this version of Jones. A perfect time for them to have met prob would've been around 2000. Calzaghe had been Champion for about 3 years at super middle and I don't think Roy would've had much trouble making 168 at this time either. Would've been great entertainment, but Prime Jones just to classy and powerful at this weight.
Calzhagi was World Champion for over 10 years -his biggest fault was he wasnt an American fighter or hyped up to the eyeballs, like Jones. .. Calzhagi beat Brewer ,destroyed Lacy (very brave fighter) schooled Kessler, Humiliated Hopkins the cheat , and absolutely destroyed Jones (which he would have done at any age) - then he retired undefeated...Shortest boxing video of all time - Joe Calzhagis defeats . Not crazed -but not blind either..
Roy has a very strong argument for the title of the "G.O.A.T of the Boxing World", Greatest Pound-For-Pound. And all the rest. He is that Good... yes, is... Fighting is like riding a bike(or the Mrs), U don't forget how to do it. All of Roy's videos are easily watched multiple times.
The best boxer I've ever seen lace a pair of gloves up. And I've seen the best fighters of this era. From Tyson to Maywether to Wilder . I've seen em all. And nobody was more Dangerous all around then Roy Jones jr. He was a Anomaly. And a boxer like him will never be seen in this life time. I truly believe that.
if Boxing was language then Roy Jones Jr was fluent, The speed in his hands was equivalent to that of late Muhammad Ali, his footwork reminds me of the legend as well.
Jacinta Nakimuli Roy probably had the fastest hands in boxing ever and even at his current age today still has very fast hands I would honestly say his hand speed is at Ali's speed in Ali's prime and if he's as fast as that at his age than he must be pretty damn gifted and great
Everyone was actin like he needed an excuse for his gritty performance performance in the 1st Hopkins bout...It's BERNARD HOPKINS for god sake. One of the greatest middleweights/defensive fighters of all time. Not to mention a tactical geinious and possibly THE hardest fighter for ANYONE(between middleweight and light-heavy), past or present to look good/impressive against. Even up into his 50's, he can still take some of these top tens to school til this day. Lol
eubank said he didnt want the fight because of the wars with benn simply put he thought in order to beat roy he would have to go to wat with roy both are skilled boxers. but eubank said the benn rivialry left him jaded he didnt have that fire to dig deep like he did against benn.
"Cant throw a Volkswagen into a macktruck" Something I learned when I fought my friend who was a solid 6'4 328 and I am flabby 5'8 250. I ended up being thrown against and on top of a car several times face was still clean though lmao
Eubank was in a talk show along with Roy jones and joe Calzaghe and when they were talking about James Toney and Roy jones jr in their prime ,he actually said that he had no ego to fight Toney or jones in their prime, "that would've been suicide. No disrespect to you joe (Calzaghe) , but in his (Jones) prime, that would've been suicide"
Imagine the bad luck, you're in like your 2nd ever professional fight, fighting in some small-time event, and you get stuck with Jones, who's probably already one of the best boxers in the world in your weight class, maybe already the best, but still doing small-time gigs because he doesn't have a proper manager XD.
So good to see a great fighter like Roy didn't end up like the other greats like "Terrible" Terry norris and Meldrick Taylor. Both of those men were great warriors who gave great fights but at the end of both carrers it took its toll on both of them.
Roy proved he could get the big fights without a promoter. Earlier on in his career maybe this was hard but once he became a force, no problem. Other boxers these days should take note.
At one time people said he was the greatest pound for pound fighter ever to fight… the problem is when he first truly lost( not counting his disqualification he dominated that fight) when he finally was beaten… he was beaten badly and beaten often… his hands and feet were the quickest I’ve ever seen. But that heavy weight division melted him really early in.
roy jones...wrong generation and didn't have a rival. WTF. It doesn't matter and the point is mundane. Roy Jones is the best pound for pound fighter in history and would never have a rival on his level.
Undisputed control knowledge and of power. Most impressive is the display of God's love. Didn't allow himself to get swallowed by the carnal desires of the world and obeyed God in Honoring his father, more over as his dad did for him teaches his sons to be better than him. Great display of unselfishness and progress. Fine example of FATHERHOOD...CHAMP.
that was bullshit with the Griffin fight that ref could've taken away a point and continued the fight, they did that to keep Roy from staying undefeated
As Korean-American myself, it hurts to see Roy Jones Jr. become victim of Korean and US officials. US officials started it by handing the decision to Jerry Page over Kim Dong Kil when Kim Dong Kil was clearly a better boxer in 1984. Kim Dong Kil was robbed but coach laughed and simply said "We'll see you in the next Olympics." And then in 1988, Korean officials and associations decided to do the same thing to have a revenge against the US but it's unfortunate Roy Jones Jr. had to be the victim. Even Park Si Hun was embarrassed and later apologized to Roy Jones Jr. So in a bigger picture, Jerry Page and US officials stole Roy Jones Jr. medal. Cause and Effect.
***** I guess saying Fuck Korea is not being racist? SO I guess if someone said FUCK USA or FUCK AMERICA, I guess that's ok for Americans to hear. You talk as if only Koreans cheat as hosts. Wanna talk about host cheatings? 2002 Winter Olympics Salt Lake City, US stole gold medal from Kim Dong Sun and awarded to Apolo Anton Ohno and then for two next Winter Olympics and also in World Short Track Competitions, Korea proved that they were superior in short track and won every gold medals. Russia stole gold medal from Yuna Kim in 2014 Winter Olympics Figure Skating and awarded it to Adelina Sotnikova. Corruptions happen everywhere, especially in sport like boxing, that's easy to corrupt since it's based on decisions if fight doesn't end in KO or TKO. Unlike Americans that had no sympathy or shame of cheating, Koreans including myself felt bad for Roy Jones Jr. and everyone knew that Roy Jones Jr. got robbed. Even the "winner" Park Si Hun went upto Roy and said he doesn't know what happened with the results and apologized. Even monks in South Korea went to Roy Jones jr. and apologized for what the Korean officials had done as it's mentioned in this video. When Americans stole gold medal from Kim Dong Sun by disqualifying him and award the medal to Apolo Anton Ohno, did Americans felt bad for Kim? Americans only cared about their athlettes and didn't give two bits of rats ass about Kim Dong Sun. US now can't even get a single gold medal in short track. Much like how Korea can't even get a single gold medal in boxing now. If you're wondering why this corruption happened on Roy Jones Jr. go look up 1984 when Jerry Page was declared winner over Kim Dong Kil in 1984 Summer Olympics held in Los Angeles regardless of Kim Dong Kil being a way better boxer than Jerry Page. Korean officials appealed but was rejected. This was a root behind the corruption. So it's not only Korean officials to blame although they are mainly to blame. US officials and Jerry Page are also to blame as well.

Best pure and most natural athlete to ever walk the earth. No question no doubt. Can't be touched.
Best athlete? I don't think Roy is a better pure athlete than a Michael Jordan, or Bo "two sport professional all star" Jackson.
True dat man was a BEAST
robchip1 there is no such thing as a natural athlete. You either learn how to do things well or you don’t
No, best natural boxer, yes, best athlete??? Michael Jordan, OBJ, Bo Jackson, Prime???? Come on

Born to fight! Always a fan
Roy proved he could get the big fights without a promoter. Earlier on in his career maybe this was hard but once he became a force, no problem. Other boxers these days should take note.
At one time people said he was the greatest pound for pound fighter ever to fight… the problem is when he first truly lost( not counting his disqualification he dominated that fight) when he finally was beaten… he was beaten badly and beaten often… his hands and feet were the quickest I’ve ever seen. But that heavy weight division melted him really early in.
Roy had the fastest hands in boxing history
defiantly got to "pause" wit that one brah. lol well played
35:51 Ali was still pretty quick there!
roy jones what a fighter
"Came in free, went out free" -RJjr
If 50 Monks can come to express their shame and sorrow that by itself is very deep .
Pound for pound. Roy Jones Jr. is the "greatest" fighter of all time. Ali, Ray(s), Floyd, and other great boxers come second to his greatness.
Roy jones style reminds me of ali
roy jones...wrong generation and didn't have a rival. WTF. It doesn't matter and the point is mundane. Roy Jones is the best pound for pound fighter in history and would never have a rival on his level.
WRONG, GRIFFIN
calzaghe made him look like a fool.
jones past it at that point calzaghe is a slapper with no names onhis record
Great doc
Undisputed control knowledge and of power. Most impressive is the display of God's love. Didn't allow himself to get swallowed by the carnal desires of the world and obeyed God in Honoring his father, more over as his dad did for him teaches his sons to be better than him. Great display of unselfishness and progress. Fine example of FATHERHOOD...CHAMP.
quoting Roy Jones,...."bess fighta in da bidness"...LOL
that was bullshit with the Griffin fight that ref could've taken away a point and continued the fight, they did that to keep Roy from staying undefeated
One point isn't enough because of the way it happened. I can understand the disqualification because griffin faked being hurt. Maybe take two points.
As Korean-American myself, it hurts to see Roy Jones Jr. become victim of Korean and US officials. US officials started it by handing the decision to Jerry Page over Kim Dong Kil when Kim Dong Kil was clearly a better boxer in 1984. Kim Dong Kil was robbed but coach laughed and simply said "We'll see you in the next Olympics."
And then in 1988, Korean officials and associations decided to do the same thing to have a revenge against the US but it's unfortunate Roy Jones Jr. had to be the victim. Even Park Si Hun was embarrassed and later apologized to Roy Jones Jr. So in a bigger picture, Jerry Page and US officials stole Roy Jones Jr. medal. Cause and Effect.
***** I guess saying Fuck Korea is not being racist? SO I guess if someone said FUCK USA or FUCK AMERICA, I guess that's ok for Americans to hear. You talk as if only Koreans cheat as hosts. Wanna talk about host cheatings? 2002 Winter Olympics Salt Lake City, US stole gold medal from Kim Dong Sun and awarded to Apolo Anton Ohno and then for two next Winter Olympics and also in World Short Track Competitions, Korea proved that they were superior in short track and won every gold medals.
Russia stole gold medal from Yuna Kim in 2014 Winter Olympics Figure Skating and awarded it to Adelina Sotnikova.
Corruptions happen everywhere, especially in sport like boxing, that's easy to corrupt since it's based on decisions if fight doesn't end in KO or TKO.
Unlike Americans that had no sympathy or shame of cheating, Koreans including myself felt bad for Roy Jones Jr. and everyone knew that Roy Jones Jr. got robbed. Even the "winner" Park Si Hun went upto Roy and said he doesn't know what happened with the results and apologized. Even monks in South Korea went to Roy Jones jr. and apologized for what the Korean officials had done as it's mentioned in this video.
When Americans stole gold medal from Kim Dong Sun by disqualifying him and award the medal to Apolo Anton Ohno, did Americans felt bad for Kim? Americans only cared about their athlettes and didn't give two bits of rats ass about Kim Dong Sun. US now can't even get a single gold medal in short track. Much like how Korea can't even get a single gold medal in boxing now.
If you're wondering why this corruption happened on Roy Jones Jr. go look up 1984 when Jerry Page was declared winner over Kim Dong Kil in 1984 Summer Olympics held in Los Angeles regardless of Kim Dong Kil being a way better boxer than Jerry Page. Korean officials appealed but was rejected. This was a root behind the corruption. So it's not only Korean officials to blame although they are mainly to blame. US officials and Jerry Page are also to blame as well.
Not correct.
I knew there would be a Korean who would come up with some kind of reason to defend his race.
EdDy4RheelZ Dude lol, you talk like a primary school kid. He hates him, I can do what I want because he who is 20 times my GDP did the same etc.
Revenge revenge revenge; man up. Or be a butthurt rebel teen for as long as you wish.
EdDy4RheelZ That's why you never leave a fight to the judges,... never let it go the distance in boxing or mma.
