Think about that..he rarely lost rounds

How "God Like" Dominant RJ was from '94 - '03 during his Reign as the P4P King of Boxing' Here are some the great champion fighters who were in there prime more or less Who had there most epic fights greatest wins During the Roy Jones Era When he Ruled Over them like ZEUS over the Gods of Olympus in the P4P rankings. I listed them by weight class to keep it honest. Evander Holyfield Lennox Lewis James Toney Bernard Hopkins Felix Trinidad Oscar De La Hoya Shane Mosley Floyd Mayweather Manny Pacquiao Marco Antonio Barrera Naseem Hahmad Eric Morales Johny Tapia Mark Johnson Ricardo Lopez Just to name a few……….insane!

Facts.

@@WZ912 well said

Indeed. When he lost to Tarver. Tarver talked shit. I'm like the Jones you beat. Was a shell of him during his prime. Clown running his mouth. In Jones peak. He demolishes that clown.

After that, the gods accepted him as their king.

I love that he’s was the shit

😂😂👏🏻

Likely the best fighter of all time (so far) in his prime.

@@signkutter9218, yes.

He would destroy today's middleweight classes

@@ComaToast1 Have to agree...I am a fan of Saul Alvarez's style and accomplishments...but i think he would get picked apart by Jones in his prime

At the time, I thought Prince naz was very similar in arrogance speed n skills lol

Shout out to Brizz Rawstein's machete.

@@comewatchfights9112 Shit like that 😎👍🏾💯

@@qward2174 don demarco 🗣️🗣️🗣️🗣️ smmmmmdddddaaaaack 😭😭😭

Lmao 🤣

Yeah 100% every fight was an event. He was a true fighter and showman. If he woulda fought his career like mayweather jr he coulda gone undefeated too but he loves to box to much almost to a fault. He's the best fighter I've ever seen live by far

Roy still one of my faves. Great videos, I love these reminders of why I grew to love watching boxing.

If yer gonna talk about Roys gifts you have to be talking about him as a boy, when he started. Other than that what we are looking at is what he earned, the talents he acquired throughout the years upon years of amateur sparring & competition where he acquired his many talents & developed the all time great skills we know him for. Saying Roy had "Natural Gifts" n that was the secret of his success is almost as ignorant as a fool who once tried to tell me Marvin Hagler was successful because he had long arms. Gifts, physical attributes & appitide for the sport might win you a regional novice title in the amateurs if you are very lucky. Beyond that you are looking at the product that blood, sweat & tears, manical dedication & hard work produced. Roy, like prime Ali & Robinson made it look easy but make no mistake, it was a demonic work ethic, psychotic devotion & iron will that got them to the top, & kept them there.

Mayweather has fought for less titles & has won less titles than Roy Jones, no matter what his padded stage managed record says. Im talking WBA/C/O, IBF, Ring Magazine & or lineal Titles only. Also one of Mayweathers fights was for two WBC titles in different weights so you cant really count that in your tally seeing as it was the rematch with Maidana who had never fought for or held a title in the weight class Mayweather was "Defending". If you ignore the DQ in Roys record his "Unbeaten" run is more impressive than Mayweathers & he never made anyone fall asleep while watching him !

@@SPIDERM0OSE yeah I know but I dont put much weight behind all these alphabet belts. When you can have 5 lightweight champions with 2 of them holding the exact same belt it kinda ruins the prestige of championships. Even though we who got to watch Jones Jr and Mayweather's career know, what most people are going to judge them off of in the future is there records. No matter how boring Mayweather's fights were, especially as his career progressed , his undefeated record is impressive and is why he WILL be considered one of the greatest to ever do it. No matter how much you, me, or anyone else dislike him. REAL SERIOUS BOXING FANS WILL KNOW THE TRUTH but that's a very small percentage of people that claim to love boxing.

it's certainly hard to say otherwise watching him like this

Greatest prime like ever

Yes sir brother and he only used one color. Red gladiator through and through

Vinny had no business being in the ring with RJ............too many "ROCKY" movies..

I think his win over Ruiz should have been the exclamation mark on the end of his career. imagine if he retired after that fight, 50-0 (excluding the bullshi* DQ)

Ashton Barratt yeah I agree

@@legolas10314 facts

@@legolas10314 he loved tha game to much

He was too scared to fight the real champions at 175 and 168 so he moved up to fight fat boy Ruiz for the easilest title.

Sugar Ray Robinson you mean. And I don’t wanna hear shit!

@@Lonelysportofboxing different times and different boxing schools. of course, jones would have beaten robinson, if only because the modern boxing school is much more effective, not to mention the rest of the boxing skills. robinson is the second highest in my ranking of boxers after jones.

Salvador Sanchez 🇲🇽 Roy Jones Jr said he was best

Offensively

Lmfao

You are in the same conversation as Ali, Mayweather, sugar Ray.... All of the greats. You kept fighting past your prime because you loved the game. That doesn't take away from your greatness. Shit kills me when people bring that up and take away from what you were to this sport. No boxer was as dominant, and talented. Every fight was exciting because you made it that way. P Cola in tha house! I work with Jamal btw.

Great job RJj...you made it fine art in the ring...and out of the ring...the best !!

rich the fight historian does good shit too

@@FR4NKY666 Literally came here to say this, also BLTV Extra and BLTV

Rummy's Corner is superb.

YEP! Shame Toney was dead at the weight.

@@timzulf u donr know fk all about boxing

@@timzulf Prime Roy would beat you r favourite fighter with finesse

@@timzulf matter of fact name ur favourite fighter with better skills then Roy then

When was Floyd Mayweather Jrs prime? All 50 Look Doninate. Way better then Roy Jones career

@@sweetpeapernell6657 at least 15 of Floyds fights were judged off of favoritism Roy CLEARLY won every fight in his prime & his prime was everything under heavyweight

He was just so dominant people just assumed he fought nobodies. .

yep

Roy was too big for the sugar rays I think

Sugar ray and Floyd is mine. Or manny and Duran

i take Hagler againts SRR and Roy because people forget that hagler is also elite technician boxer with greatest chin in boxing history and he hasa cardio for 30 rounds. I don't see Roy or SRR winning

@@markozbunjol625 isn't roy a little too big for marvin?

And he was clean- the cleanest fighter...and most economical !!

lol is that what they told you ... Roy Jones fought zero times in his prime outside the States .. he admitted himself in an interview he wouldn't fight Eubank because it was a hard fight and there was no money in it. Steve Collins wrote a book about chasing Jones across America and still resents him to this day for not fighting. The list of fighters he missed is endless he was basically a North American champion. Everyone wanted to fight him apparently he was the money man from collins book. A faded and aged Calzaghe (his hands were shot) beat a faded Roy Jones (about the same age) in his back garden the US at least he traveled at the end of his career. Maybe Roy was just the best maybe he could have beaten everyone but there is a long list that wasn't given a chance. I was a casual boxing fan about the time of Roy Jones, no youtube so with millions of others .. never heard of him .. true story .. then is when boxing started to die. Sure all the hardcores knew him but still sad I never follow golf but I know who Tiger Woods is, does Woods only play in the US against a subset of golfers? Everyone has heard of Mike Tyson he'd go into you're back garden and kick your ass but by Jones's time America only as everyone else in the world would be beaten so no point actually proving it apparently only in boxing would this happen. Believe what you want I don't care but he could have made the rest of us care .. Calazaghe was a really good fighter and Jones would never fight him earlier as it was a tough fight with no money in it :-(

As the other guy in the comment above said, Roy Jones JR was a good fighter, in my personal opinion he was the best and maybe in his prime, he might have beaten Joe Calzaghe, but we'll never know because it was definitely Roy that avoided Joe until Joe went to the States. Now personally i believe that Roy would have won had they fought earlier, but i also think that Roy was a bigger coward overall as a person. Especially in his early career, later on he was more gritty and willing to get dirty, but in his younger days, i felt he was a bit of a poser, the light heavyweight version of Prince Naseem.

Great list

It’s the ‘without a determinable basis of fact’ that makes even this definition of myth unsuitable for Roy’s story. Aside from the associations with Demi-gods and supernatural beings, a myth is basically something that never really happened. I think Roy’s opponents know that he was real. And if we’re going to talking about words and language, to say that people who think ‘myth’ is the wrong choice of word are ‘crying’ is moronic.

Wikipedia: “Since the term myth is widely used to imply that a story is not objectively true, the identification of a narrative as a myth can be highly controversial” “Myths are sometimes distinguished from legends in that myths usually have no historical basis”

Him and lomachenko skill wise are the best fighters I’ve ever seen in my lifetime

Toney done little or nothing to him. His first fight with Tarver was his toughest, that he didnt lose. Lou De Valle scored a great knock down against him in their fight but Toney was a comfortable nights work for him.

@@SPIDERM0OSE More reason to have him in it. Roy dominated but Tony was the best boxer he faced. That was the time he was untouchable. But Roy even said himself he was the best boxer he has ever faced.

@@allenwaldon7914 Technically he may have been the best, the fighter with the best performances vs 1 or 2 high level fighters like Michael Nunn at that time. But even as a 2 weight champ Toney was unconvincing. Reggie Johnson took him to a disputed decision just before or just after he beat Nunn & even in the Nunn fight he was getting a boxing lesson until he landed that hook in the 11th. By the time Jones fought him it would be a toss of tye coin as to who was the better Roy Jones opponent, Hopkins or Toney ? Roy made em both look pedestrian. Both went on to do great things after losing to Roy. After Toney, Roy went the distence with a faded McCallum who had 3 close disputed fights with Toney, so now thats 4 fighters all at least as good as Toney was at the time Roy fought em. All multi weight World Champs, all slick crafty boxers, all went the distance with prime Roy Jones n all were comfortably outclassed. His biggest win was vs Ruiz. His toughest fight, if it wasn't Ruiz it was vs Tarver 1. Roy can say watever he likes about who he likes but the James Toney he fought wasn't the James Toney the myth n legend he is today, he was actually quite ordinary compared to the top fighters of his era & region.

Yeah no doubt Toney was the best he fought , both legends
