I'm after fights which show a prime RJJ at his lethal best
I recently saw RJJ v Clinton woods and loved that fight. In contrast i found RJJ v Hopkins very boring.
As a fairly new boxing fan (last 4-5 years), i missed out on a lot of RJJ's golden years so pointers to his most impressive exciting performances would be good
This fight with one of his more entertaing opponents.

Ahahaha! I just pissed my pants, I love you.
The James Toney fight was very good,too.
jones v.s griffin 2
jones v.s toney
jones v.s thornton
jones v.s kelly
jones v.s ruiz etc..
all of jones's fights were great.
I do like Jones, but boxing videos annoy me at the best of time when they blaze it with music instead of letting you listen to the commentary. I do have to wonder about the wisdom of uploading a Roy Jones video with the track "Mr. Unknockoutable" playing behind though.yea, songs on boxing videos = :nono:
For a fun, but still one-sided fight (c'mon we're talking prime Roy here) I'd definitely say Roy vs. Paz. The way Roy went an entire round without getting a glove laid on him against Paz was embarrassing. I almost felt sorry for Paz in that fight as he laid in his corner and told his corner guy "I can't do nothing". Then Roy finished him off with that 5-6 hooks combo at the end which had never been seen before.

good call on Woods. that fight came at the right time, as Roy was caught up in a string of shit fights. Woods wasn't (and still isn't) any great shakes, but he at least danced as hard as he could and made shit entertaining for as long as it lasted.
Tate, Pazienza and Brannon are among his most entertaining bouts. it's hard to call any of Roy's bouts exciting because most pre-2003 were so one-sided. The Tate fight was nice because they genuinely disliked each other, and Roy fought like a man on a mission, not unlike the Griffin rematch.
Brannon and Pazienza were brutally fun mismatches (if you're a Roy fan, anyway, or like me a long-standing anti-Pazmaniac). In both fights, Roy delivered beatings so bad, that he literally stopped and stared at the ref prior to the KO, as if to ask "why the fuck aren't you stopping this?"
I left off the Griffin rematch because I didn't think it was Roy at his best. His mission was just to knock Griffin the fuck out, and seemingly missed just about every punch he threw in between the two knockdowns. The KO was brutal, but even as brief as the fight was, it was one of Roy's sloppiest performances.
