They only reason Roy won this fight is because he was one quicker than Ruiz . A LOT QUICKER . And The ref was a Roy's side . I love Roy he is my favorite fighter but I can tell when things are not right . The Ref hardly let Ruiz work on the inside . VERY QUICK TO BREAK A CLINCH . Roy won this fight hands down and probably would have won either way but come on man that's not fair and a real boxer will tell you the same . Thumbs up if you agree . I would like this to be a top comment .
Roy came into this fight at 226lb. He looks small for a HW. Mike Tyson who fought at HW at 220lb looked bigger than Jones. Jones is also taller than Tyson. There were times when Tyson fought at 215lb and he still looked bigger than Jones in this fight at 5'11 226lb.
He had to lose 20lbs of muscle to fight tarver. rjj was weight drained. I think it was a horrible business decision for him to go down to light heavyweight.
@Tracywithafacey I think Roy wouldve held his own n possibly beat Lennox, especially if da outta shape Lennox Lewis dat fought Vitali Klitchko wouldve shown up dat night cuz Roy wouldve been movin n made Lennox tired early n went 2 wrk on him
Absolutely brilliant performance. But Lennox would probably have been too much, Lennox is an all time great, one of the best heavyweights ever, and would have probably have knocked him out
All the weight-class jumps hurt RJJ. Once you change weight and try to go back to your original weight, it weakens you. He was never the same after this fight.
@face525252 Agreed. But I think he realle stopped being himself after Lacy fight. That was his last hurrah. Since then, hes gone. And based on his latest interviews he is not retiring. I hope he will not end up with brain damage.
I wish Tyson didnt have his legal troubles round dat time when he did n took da 25million dollars Roy offered him 4 da fight n get da fight on n 03 instead of Tarver!!! Roy was gon get 100 million n Tyson was gon end up gettin 30 million 4 da fight n dey both were gon make more 4 da rematch!!! Wouldve been ONE HELL OF A FIGHT!!!
@LilT08 Roy Jones offering Tyson?? If you think legal troubles aside Tyson would have accepted 70 million less than Jones you are crazy lol dont know what paper you read that in but seriously has always been a money maker even old tired out of shape cant be arsed Tyson earned big money
Roy's a beast. I can't believe ppl say he had no chin at any point in his career he was EATING Ruiz's punches like it was pieces of cake hitting his face.
@Zachrydaman He had one of the best chins if not the best. It was that second fight with Tarver that completely changed everything with Roy. After that fight, he couldn't take a punch. It's as if he got fucked up mentally.
@Deejeezy405 I think it was the fact that he had to go up to heavyweight then melt himself back down to light heavy. That kills your body and to do it at age 34 when most fighters careers are naturally co,ing to an end or their abilities are diminishing is pretty ridiculous to think about.
@Zachrydaman Well whatever the case may be, it was definitely a turning point in Roy's career (his second fight with Tarver). He should have retired YEARS ago but he continues to do so. He's tarnished his legacy. It's sad.
wow Roy was 34 when he fought Ruiz and had never really lost a fight apart from that poor decision to disqualify him against Montel which he avenged by knocking him out in 1 round in the rematch.. if only he retired after this..either way he is in my books top 10 pound 4 pound of all time - unbeatable at his peak
@boxingnews247 agreed..i think people forget how utterly unbeatable roy was at his best! i think he was best at middle weight and i stated on a video he wont be remembered as the greatest middle weight fighter most ppl will say its marvin hagler! but i'll tell you this roy in his prime would have boxed the shorts off hagler on his best day! i have roy at #2 p4p ever simply because you have to judge a fighter when he performed to the best of his abilities! other than ray robinson no 1 was better
Great quality. thanx for posting.
