Now you know why Roy would put his hands or one hand behind his backi dont know if it's true, but i remember somewhere it being said that roy would bob and weave barbed wires instead of ropes, and during jogs anytime he slowed down his father would whip his ankles, another where his father would tie one of roy's hands behind his back and make him fight much bigger and older kids and tell them to take try and take his head offComment

Yep, Lebatard is a very smart guy, he and Rome are two of the best interviewers in the biz. Roy Jones' father created a hard, hard man. Threatened his own dad's life, and I bet big Roy believed him. BTW Roy didn't try for KO's later in his career because he had real bad hand problems. His b-ball coach said Roy could barely even dribble a ball sometimes.Comment

Roy Jones Jr: The Sweet Science Documentary
This is the documentary that was made when Jones was P4P King moving up to HW to face John Ruiz. Jones trained too hard to bulk up with Mackie Shilstone. The same trainer that helped bulk up Michael Spinks to fight at HW.
•Jones was getting smashed by his HW sparring partner when he first started sparring.
•Jones was really 200lbs at the initial weigh-in but the Dr. Messed up and weighed him in at 193. Come fight night RJJ was 199lbs when he was re-weighed.
•RJJ being the first man in 100 years to win titles from MW to HW.
•RJJ speaking about his Dad beating him and saying how he didn't have a childhood.
•Ron Borges prediction was so off man lol.
•He made history but he also ruined himself moving back down in weight in that short time frame at that age.
