@@fatherwithfragrance6569 hagler was the best middleweight hands down also youre wrong just go watch the the tommy hearns fight and see how he changed styles 2-3 times during the fight
I agree, in his prime as far as raw talent and ability he was absolutely the best. You a hater or just didn’t watch him in his prime if you don’t know this. He fought 3 times a year and dodged NOONE.
Kinda have to agree for raw talent and human execution of movement in his prime best I've ever seen and hes not my favourite boxer but objectively the best in his prime I have ever seen.
Ali is my GOAT boxer, but As far as Who is the best boxers IN THEIR PRIME? Roy Jones and Mike Tyson has to be up there for greatest of all time. Both freaks of nature.
He was a physical phenom but without all that hard work and dedication, he wouldn't have been so dominant in his era. Throw him into any era and he would dominate. To beat two all-time great master boxers decisively in Toney and Hopkins is testament to how good he really was. Both those boxers were highly skilled and would be Champions in any era, it's just RJJ in his peak was on a level by himself. I've never seen anyone generate so much power and accuracy in both hands, with so much speed and agility. It must have been a nightmare to face him. It's the punches you don't see coming that knock you out, and with RJJ, he can do it more often than most people.
I'm pretty sure most of us will agree,,in his prime Roy Jones Jr. was a force to be reckoned with. He has reflexive speed that he times perfectly with his footwork. In addition to that,,,,he had knock out power.
turtleturbo1025 uuuuuhhhmmmm,,,,,,,,,, no.😒😒. Definitely not. What most people don't understand about making weight,,cutting weight and so on is the fact it can wear you down faster than you think. Roy Jones Jr did it 6 times. Over a period of time he started dealing with the consequences of it.
James Richardson ummm yes they are saying it bc CZ went undefeated but I disagree too they jump to heavy weight then back down to fight tarver. I think jones was the best. He should in Floyd’s place cause he had it all
I laugh when people talk about Calzaghe, GGG, Ward, Bertiev, Kovalev and all these middleweights, super middleweights and light heavyweights of the last 15 years. In his prime, Roy was the baddest man to ever lace ‘em up. Made some bad moves after the Ruiz fight and fought way too long which is sad, but I remember the real RJJ and he was the best I’ve ever seen.
Thanx Slack..True RJJ FANS NEEDED TO HEAR THAT .ASWELL AS NEWBIES .SEEN THEM ALL IN THE PAST 40 YEARS AND ROY JONES IS TOP OF THE LIST..A TRUE FIGHTER...
@@minds777 that just shows you how great and ahead of his time he way. I love how Roy and Ray both threw fast combinations and Three or more fast left hooks! They had superhuman abilities same with Ali Leonard
Hand speed, power, reflexes, slick head movement, tricky footwork, amazing punch selection, accuracy, stamina, and unpredictability. Roy Jones had it all, he’s the greatest fighter of all time!
Today, Roy was in my boxing club. I had that pleasure to talk with him, he signed on my t-shirt and we took a picture. He is living legend, big champion. True inspiration for us young boxers.
He is the most athletic and electrifying boxer to ever set foot in a boxing ring ,hands down. Its a shame what happened to his career after the fight with ruiz. But in his 20s and early 30s he was unbelievable. His speed,skill,footwork,power and lethal combinations were in impeccable and cant be touched.
someone send this to Roy Jones Jr! Well done Rainy Day Boxing! Thank you for the content. Inspiring Fighters and fans around the world. blessing to you.
The reason he was so untouchable wasn´t only his godly combination of speed and power, it was also his long fuckin range and accuracy , which allowed him to keep the other guy on distance and deliver his punches from very akward angles that nobody was used to...
I started watching boxing with my dad in the 70s as a wee boy. In all the time since I've seen 4 genius level boxers. RJJ, Mike Tyson, Naseem Hamed, Lomachenko
Roy in his prime was the best I've ever seen. He's in my top 5 of greatest boxers of all time. But, I think in his prime, he over trained himself a little bit.
+waylon jones overtraining means you fatigue ur body to the point of exhaustion and dont let ur body recover idk if roy did that but just pointing that by overtraining you dont get bigger
StonedToTheBone Size and over training don't have any correlation. Size comes down to genetics and nutrition. Also, RJJ had/has a narrow/athletic frame, and him gaining size would have negatively impacted his athleticism based on his frame.
I first saw RJJ one Halloween night back in the day when he was just getting started, don't even remember who he was fighting, but I was so impressed with this kid that after that fight, I followed his boxing career closely! That trash talking between he and Toney was crazy and Roy beating his ass warned everyone that there was a new sheriff in town! Thx for the amazing memories Roy!
I saved this video on my watch list for the right "rainy day" because Roy Jones. Jr. is my favourite fighter. Simply spectacular!! The best to ever to do it. RJ RDB, thank you for all the brilliance. I hope you and yours are enjoying a magnificent holiday season. As always, all the best! 👊👊✌
Roy in his prime was one of the most talented fighters in history. Talent plus hard work equals success. No boxer today could've beat Jones in his prime.
People can say he fought too long all they want but imho, the fact he just retired (66-9 w/ 47ko) last year (Feb 18) and was still fighting pretty damn stout competition... just adds to my admiration and respect for him. This guy is a damn warrior. I'm also part of the group that says... his prime on his best night, I just can't think of anyone dating back to Robinson who would've stood tall.
Hey that's crazy because that's exactly what I say. Mike Tyson and Roy Jones Jr are the greatest fighters of all time so your comment is great because it's 100 percent true
Nobody like him, ever. That whole unorthodox style he created, with his technical ability, speed and power - he was a once in a generation athlete, but had the base of being one of the greatest amateurs in US history. Too fast to keep up with, but guys couldn't press him because he created such great angles and had such explosive power...guys would basically have to just sit in front of him and wait to get hit.
I don´t know if Roy was the best ever, there were so many great boxers in the past. But I´m sure of this: RJJ was the most entertaining boxer of all time. His fights always were the most interesting, by far.
@@chazaq2010 OMG that was the best shit.. legs would lock out and they would just fall back right in the corner and you could throw probly 10 jabs and straights an just bounce their head lmao
