    When it comes to knockouts, his right hand against Art Serwano was one of his most vicious. It was scary to watch Serwano's eyes roll back into his head like that after hitting the canvas.
    yeah, i have that serwano fight. that's one of the greatest knockouts i've ever seen.

        The Eric Lucas fight was the one where Roy played in a basketball game before the fight. I'm sure of it. I remember watching that fight live. Roy gave Lucas a beating for 12 rounds.

        In the Griffin rematch, Roy came out like he was posessed. That's the only time I've ever seen Roy fight like he didn't care if he got hit. He came out throwing vicious left hooks, trying to take Griffin's head off with every one he threw.

          Boxrec does have his record, its on the second page.
          And he did fight Eric Lucas, i dont think ive seen it.

          The Paz fight was exciting, but Jones looked huge against him. And the fight was a total mismatch.
          The Griffin rematch was great, although he basically bombed Griffen out. But the finishing punch was an amazing shot. I still dont know how he was able to get such power into it.
          But for me the fight was too quick.

          I love the Merqui Sosa fight. I believe that was Jones first fight at LH.
          But some of the combos were great.

              The Toney fight and the second Griffith fight come to mind because both were in their primes when Jones completely dominated them.

                Toney at his best (not in a hospital bed the night before) would of beaten Jones and Griffin at his best (not after getting rid of Eddie Futch and training himself) did beat Jones.

                  Toney had two chances against Griffith and failed 'em both; and it is irrelevant about his weight issues when he fought Jones. It's not Roy's fault that Toney couldn't show some self control.

                  Both men knew what was at stake going into that fight and Toney blew it.

                  Regarding Jones loss to Griffith and Eddie Futch, I'm not taking anything away from Griffith's performance in the first fight; but Roy let himself down that night with ******ity. Nothing can be taken away from his vindication at the rematch. His demolition of Griffith in the second figth was perfection.

                    I personally liked the first tarver fight .. where he was actually in a FIGHT
                    before it was just pure domination by one fighter

                      i saw the eric lucas - roy jones fight. i remember it well, i'd never seen eric lucas fight before. he was tough, he took a beating for 12 rounds, his face was a mess, but he kept going, every round he'd back roy into the corner at least once and land a combination of body punches. it was the only time he was able to hit roy. i was impressed with lucas' heart. after that, i watched him in one of his other fights, against an average pro. lucas destroyed him in less than four rounds
