RJJ was a once in a generation athletic anomaly but to become a king of killers it's hard to ignore that drug testing wasn't very refined then (and it isn't perfect today). The tests weren't good enough to catch them, and the stakes were far too high to not use every advantage when $Millions and Worldwide Fame were on the line. There was too much to lose and too little to gain staying natural at the top. I'm not knocking him though because to get those results he still needed one of a kind talent, correct muscle insertion+response genetics, and serious work ethic.
@dyschromotopia3 жыл бұрын
Jones' style grew around his speed, his sublime reaction time & his blindingly fast reflexes. As with all athletes, these attributes & skills decline with age. And, as we all know, a split second is all it takes to make a difference.....the difference between a punch landing & a punch missing. Add that to a decline in punch resistance & we see the results; it was always on the cards for Roy as he was unable to consider retirement.

I am also a huge fan Roy Jones Jr, and he's one of my most favorite boxers of all time! Having said that, I am pretty sure that Roy lost his speed and coherence after experimenting with some harmful substances that helped him gain weight and strength needed for the heavy weight division. Gaining and losing weight is always bad enough, but I think that steroids and perhaps some additional substances he was taking on and off at the time were the real reason his career went downwards.

How about this, ask Mayweather who would win a fight between Roy and him at a catch weight. Hopkins or even Lights out would whup all these middle super and light heavys today, in their primes. Roy made those guys look like amatures. Besides maybe sugar ray Robinson he was the best middle supermiddle weight, and could make an arguement about being the best offensive fighter of all time!

After 15 years of a flawless record, He grew to be a super cocky fighter. He began to be lackadaisical in his fight preparation. In other words, he beat himself. He was actually one the most talented fighter ever.

I remember the Jones Hopkins fight very clearly. I remember going into thinking it was gonna be a real test for Jones. I left the fight thinking Jones just made a great fighter look like he was in way over his head. It was crazy how well Jones fought in that fight.

He wouldn't have lost if he had retired when he should have. I think moving up to heavyweight and then moving back down to light heavyweight was a mistake. The only fighter who ever did that and was successful was Bob Fitzsimmons and that's because he was the same weight when he won the heavyweight championship and the light heavyweight (actually I believe he was a pound heavier when he won the light heavyweight title but I could be mistaken 🤔), but anyway that and combined with the fact that he just simply hung around too long. In his prime tho, he was almost untouchable!! Truly, a phenom!!

He was untouchable until he faced tarver who was his kryptonite. People can't use no excuses because tarver and Roy are the same age and tarver technically beat Roy Jones all 3 fights, reason I say technically is because the first fight they gave to Roy even though tarver should have won. Tarver wasn't happy and got his revenge in the second fight saying, "you got any excuses tonight Roy?" Later on knocking Roy out in the second round. Then they fought the third time and Roy got rocked so many times that fight and in the end lost to tarver by UD.

I was blown away as a 14 yr old watching a 19 yr old Jones Jr light up the Olympics. Ive been a fan of his ever since. Now when I review his fights the more I see Sugar Ray Robinson in him & now hes even starting to look like the older retired version of Sugar Ray Robinson. Roy was great. I dont think anyone was further ahead of their era since Robinson. Sugar Ray Leonard was ahead of the pack in his era but Roy Jones was so far ahead of his he was outa sight. Hes in my all time top 4 alongside the two Sugar Rays &:Ali. Roy Jones Jr. Superman Captain Hook. Outa sight.

I always wondered if gaining the weight to move up to Heavyweight then having to work his ass off and have a routine to lose weight inorder to fight Tarver made him more sluggish that added on to his age just unraveled him. alot of fighters when they move up and then back down dont fare as good usually. most of the time when a fighter moves up they stay there. I don't see Tarver winning against Roy Jones in his prime. Jones was by far best fighter i have seen in my life.

Great vid'. Pound for pound the best ever at his absolute prime I believed it then and I still believe it today. However, I do think the Jones Jr. vs Toney heavyweight match up would have been really interesting. You said that Jones beat Toney at Toneys absolute best and it was widely known at the time that Toney had to lose an incredible amount of weight for their fight. Toney struggled with discipline as regards his weight and training and thats his fault but hard to say it was his absolute best when he lost to Jones. I will agree Jones overwhelmed Toney at super middleweight but at heavyweight I really think it would have been interesting
