we will never see another roy jones

[_original_]

I've always said that prime for prime, pound for pound, nobody beats Roy at his absolute best.

And I'm not even a fan of his.

Im sorry man but your talking BS if you think roy had little skills and only athleticism thats utter garbage your typing.I have a question does been athletic give you the brain to box? i mean usain bolt is an athletic freak but i bet he couldnt box eggs.

yes, he is obviously a skilled boxer as well....but their have been lots of criticism that he focused too much on his athleticism, which is why he isn't as successful in the older years as someone like hopkins who wasn't as athletic as roy, but knew the fundementals more

roy is an amazing boxer, but skill level wise he is no floyd, pernell etc...

Shit some people are clueless, you don't learn how to throw triple hooks without any fundamentals.

Roy jones ranks extremely high in the All time prime head to head list.

He would have ranked extremely high on the regular all time list had he retired after beating ruiz but he loves the sport too much to walk away.

People still talk like Roy had nothing but athleticism.

Let Floyd weigh in at 164 and immediately go back down to weigh in at 147 and see if his reflexes aren't affected at all. Roy had tremendous skill to go with his physical gifts, or he never would have been as good as he was.

He's definitely in that conversation for best h2h fighter ever.

They fail to see that the athleticism allowed him to go beyond the fundamentals not ignore them. It's kind of like criticizing a Lamborghini for not being a Model T.

They say if you travel deep enough towards the center of the universe, that it's statistically impossible not to find a second roy jones jr.

[Bring It On]

Probably not. (see what I did there? )

But yeah, I agree. RJJ was truly special. My favourite fighter of all time.
