    Most Entertaining Roy Jones Junior Fights ?

    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

                good call on Woods. that fight came at the right time, as Roy was caught up in a string of **** fights. Woods wasn't (and still isn't) any great shakes, but he at least danced as hard as he could and made **** 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 **** 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 **** 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.

                  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.
