Moscow, Russia - On Tuesday, the Academy of Boxing in the Luzhniki Stadium had a special guest, as master-class former four division world champion Roy Jones Jr. showed the young Russian amateur boxers a few tricks. Before that, the president of Olympic Committee of Russia, Alexander Zhukov, presented a special gold medal to Jones. The reason for presenting this award is related to the 1988 Olympic Games in Seoul, where Jones suffered a controversial defeat to local boxer Park Si Hun in the final match.

It's cool that Russia has embraced Roy and that he's trying to help promote boxing in that country.

in his prime he was in an absolutely different class to anyone he faced
i hear alot of people say he ducked Benn and Eubank but tbh he was a way better fighter than either of them for me there is no debate
teddy atlas once said that we may never know how truly great roy jones is because they was no one in boxing at the time that was able to give him a tough fight to truly test him
leonard hearns duran and hagler all had each other
ali had various dancing partners which just happened to be some of the greatest heavyweights of all time
roy was unfortunate not to have anyone whom he could show his true greatness against
but just look at how easy he beat hopkins and toney two of the best of their generation makes you wonder who else he could have defeated
he beat hopkins with one hand ffs who didn't lose again for 12 years!!
big deal he got knocked out later in his career we forget that he was a jr middleweight who fought guys alot bigger and stronger than himself
as a boxing fan i don't know how you can hate roy jones the man is a class act all the way not like somone like mayweather or tyson
