But then he just stayed around for too long and went on a loss streak.

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.

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.

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.

Still cannot take anything from him. That guy was a monster at middle, supermiddle and light heavy. Think of the middle or supermiddle weight division today. Who could beat him? 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! He just hit to hard and fast at those weights.

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!!

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.

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.
@dantedijon13 жыл бұрын
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.

The issue for Jones challenging Tysan was that he's an amazing fast boxer. But when you are facing guys like Tyson is that if you can't put them down, at one point, chances is that they will connect and the moment someone like Tyson connect, it turns the table for someone that doesn't have an iron chin
I'm not sure Jones would've had the gas tank to carry on at HW. Putting on 25lbs of muscle is a lot to keep going. Not quite a 40lb children's Halloween skeleton costume, but still heavy.

@Firsthgyhgyhuy Lastujhujhuj What's so funny?

Yeah in MMA I equate BJ Penn to a similar career. Was a legend and went all the way from lightweight (155) to heavyweight (205+). Dude went up to 170 and took the belt from a prime Matt Hughes who was an absolute monster and then went back down after to take the 155 crown. But then he just stayed around for too long and went on a loss streak.
Don't really care about his losses because he lost when he was done.
As in the words of Roy’s rap song, “Ya’ll musta forgot!”
Exactly.....

Don't expect a war in the ring... I honestly think this is just a money making scheme. I mean both of these boxers are legends. Who wouldn't want to see the two go at it? But I read that they have agreed that they are going to try not to knock out each other. Nevertheless I will be watching it live.
Michael H yeah same. I think that it’s all for the money. But me being a gen z I never got to watch Tyson fight. So at least I get to see him fight now
In his prime RJJ was on a different level than anyone he fought. Nobody had an even remote chance of beating him.
his middleweight physique is unreal, wonder why nobody talked about his training
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.
YES!! Just literally went on a BLTV binge & now this! Absolutely perfect 💯 -Big love & respect from Indiana 🥊
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.

Roy jones jr had more speed than everyone he fought in his prime and thats just the facts not opinion. He also had knockout power in both hands and him being 160-168 beats anybody. You couldnt defend against him and you couldnt out punch him either. You dont understand if you think those greats of the past would run through him. Would never happen
I never knew how cool boxing was until now, thanks to you . Cheers
I state this with knowledge and passion for the sport of boxing. Forget the weight drained weak Rjjr, ALWAYS remember the most remarkable talented PURE amazing boxer WE HAVE EVER SEEN & I don’t care what anyone says. Rjjr had everything, crazy speed crazy control crazy movement crazy ring craft he had it all & multiple hooks NO ONE could replicate. This guy was untouchable & I LOVE him for blessing us with his skills. I am disgusted in Rjjr fans, people pundits that dropped him after his decline. Rjjr yr my man forever & TBE IMO.
While being one of the best boxers ever, Jones over estimated his body. Moving weights make or break fighters.
Yeah I have to agree. That can't be good for the body, even RJJ.
Silviu Florin moving weight classes not lifting weights 😂😂
Yeah, especially for Roy. His weight jumps were unnatural. Unlike most boxers, who fight many pounds below their natural weight, Roy fought not much below his natural walk around weight. So to go up to where he did, come back down, at his age, was ill-advised.
@TRUMP MAGA thus my argument that losing all those weight really did damage to his physic. So after losing to Tarver, he was never the same again. Prime Jones vs Prime Calzaghe would have most likely gone to Jones.
@TRUMP MAGA What is it with people like you and making everything about race? Joe Calzaghe was a great fighter and I don't think Roy underestimated him. I think you're just saying that to fit your great white hope narrative. Your such a fan and you don't even know how to spell his name.
Great vid, I agree with everything you said, before he went to heavyweight, he was untouchable, his speed was amazing, he'll always be one of my favorite boxers, I'm glad i watch his entire career
These videos are brilliant. As a boxing fan, I appreciate your hard work 🙏🏾
That weight cut for that heavy weight fight killed the invincible Roy Jones. Tarver caught him at the right time (no pun)..... as it always happens.
I agree that it was cutting all that muscle that ruined him, it was a bad move. Either way he is one of the greatest.
That mixed with his natural ageing
I had two heroes growing up - Stone cold Steve Austin & Jones Jr. Still my favorite boxer. Post Tarver Jones Jr was saddening to watch... Broke my heart.

Biggest mistake when it comes to legacy was fighting Tarver post dropping the weight. Had he fought him and then moved up, history would wax lyrical on Roy.
Plus if you watch the first Tarver fight Roy was hit in the back of the head a lot and this did something to him, thus the result of the second fight and after.
Roy Jones is waxed on historically as one of the best pd for pd fighters ever right there with sugar ray robinson. He killed everyone in his division and went up just to get challenged more.

one of the best to ever do it and no one can deny it
Hard to watch my favorite boxer get knocked out...hard!
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!!
Nñm
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.
2:58; amazing, never seen that before during a boxing match
I would have loved to have seen a prime RJJ Vs a prime Joe Calzaghe. They were both past their prime when JC beat him.
It's amazing how even though they didn't get to fight in the early 2000s that they're still going to make that happen 20 years later
Thanks for putting her in twice, you're a good man.
No was like Roy style, , perfectionist, is art ,no one was looking like him , one of the best ever Bless him amen
2:55 I thought i seen that.. Nice!!
If he never went to heavyweight he would’ve had a few more dominant years
As a Pensacola native, I take so much pride in watching Roy go to work.
Nice to hear subs drum and bass in these videos
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 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.
fantastic videos
Roy Jones Jr - legend!
2:14 song is "Schematic - Why"
Roy Jones was a Beast In his Hay day...Would've been a crazy PPV Fight 🥊Jones Vs Tyson🥊
