Before you guys start crying and analyzing his record..im not saying he fought ever one he should have those fights werent made for numerous reasons. All im saying is that he was the most gifted...every skill was at high level like speed, reflexes, footwork. u agree?
negative
robinson was a monster puncher in either hand
he had size
speed speed speed
a great engine
and a GREAT chin
maybe the best ever. dude had a beard
roy didnt have a chin anywhere near that level. not as bad as it gets made out to be at times by virtue of his brutal knockout losses.
I think George Foreman gets overlooked a lot when people talk about naturally gifted fighters because they always think in terms of speed.
He had his very first fight in January of 1967 and then won the freaking gold medal in the 1968 summer olympics. If that isnt someone who was born to be a boxer, I dont know who is.
to do what roy jones jr. was doing early in his career, was cool to watch in the 1990's...because roy jones jr., wasn't using a jab, to set up his punches, and it would have me tripping, to see roy jones jr., step in with the left hook, and put a fighter on the canvas, or on queer st., without being countered...roy jones jr., landed that step in left hook, on james toney, repeatedly, when james toney, said that roy jones jr., would never be able to land on him like that...i've seen everybody from shane mosley, to floyd mayweather jr. copy that same step in left hook, that roy jones jr., made popular....
I don't know. Ali was pretty good as far as naturally gifted, without a doubt hands down the most gifted HW ever. Roy has the power edge though, he had freakish power. And as a Roy fan, I still say he probably did use PED's a bunch throughout his career. We'll never know though.
Lets not forget Wilfred Benitez. Id think itd take a whole lot of natural talent to be able to beat an ATG like Antonio Cervantes at 17.
but Roy is definitely up there.

Yes, he is easily the most gifted.
wasnt he using steriods in 2000
epic fail
Steroids aren't magic. They don't turn you into superman and giver you reflexes. But they do give an unfair advantage and anyone using should be banned. But it doesn't take away Roy's natural greatness.
Roy Jones actually worked real hard to get where he was, he had tremendous natural talent no doubt but not everything you saw in the ring was natural talent it was all finely honed from years in the gym starting as a young boy.
