roy jones beyond the glory part 1/2 of 1

[delirious44]

I think Roy fought better competition and achieved more than Calzaghe , but to say Roy would have beat Joe in the 90's or early millenium is something we can't prove or ever know , when they did fight Joe won and that's what the record books will say

[EgyptPHA]

@delirious44

Your right for the most part & I do agree. My issue is Roy Jones Jr, did not fight the same every since he moved up to Heavyweight then back to Light Heavyweight. From that point forward since reaching the Heavyweight Championship & winning it. He never fought the same, so NO. I don't think Joe would of beaten Roy Jones Jr in the late 90s, but your right the Record books will show Joe W over Roy Jones Jr in his later fights.

[ESSJ333]

Hall of famer

[provisionarts]

stupid video quality damn it

[17onpoint]

lmaoooo @ john mcain 1;20 .....the fuck ahah

[TheAbbeyroad1969]

actually the korean fighter did fight better during contest in 88 maybe jones was just 100% hype - you know americans- all talk !............ :)

[meynard1]

@TheAbbeyroad1969 Wow at your comment go look up all the fight from Jones in the olympics and Compare them to Park and did you even watch the Park vs Jones fight?

[SuperWiseyoung88]

What the hell is John Mccain doing here.

[Lietuvi]

Roy Jones Jr !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Blackjesus3]

wow john mc cain likes roy i know hes a fighting fan but cool :D

[datsun380zx]

they all seem to have an Ali mentality. hahahha

[TheyFeedingULies]

Hold on, wtf is John McCain doing in this shit? WTF does JM have anything to do with boxing? The nigga can't even raise his hands to throw a punch...

[razenhellz]

FUCK MMA!!!!!

Only the weak minded fall victim to a craze but boxing is the original sport and still the best!!!!

[GBDazzler]

@razenhellz You do know mma has been going for thousands of years as pancrase in greece and the middle east.

[joeclemm15]

What the fuck is Mccain doing on this lmao..shit was so random

[SPOOKSTR]

Dude, you remind me of a born again Christian or an extremist Muslim....no chance of changing your views....you keep watching and following boxing and i'll follow MMA....

[razenhellz]

complete lack of respect SPOOKSTR your an ignorant fool and obviously not a true fan of boxing

[SPOOKSTR]

Danny Green wiped his ass with Jones' face...lol The happiest day of my life was seeing Jones get his head smashed by that tough as nails Green.

[bcibibcibcpCB]

If Green would have fought Jones 10 years ago he would habe been humilated. Green defeated an old man, not Roy Jones Jr. History will remember Roy Jones, Green is already forgetten a week after his last fight.

[SPOOKSTR]

@bcibibcibcpCB

Green is almost the same age as Jones....its not like a young man beating up on an old man......Check Greens form 10 years ago...he was a machine....and would have destroyed Jones....accept it

[bcibibcibcpCB]

Dream on. 1) Roy was a fighter who relied on speed and coordination, the first things to go in a fighter. 2) Jones fought the badest fighters around, took a lot more punishement then Green, witch ages him faster. 3) Jones never was the same after he moved up into the heavyweights and had to lose all that weight again.

I don't have to accept anythin, you have to accept this, Jones is an all time great, Green not and that's a fact.

[SPOOKSTR]

@bcibibcibcpCB

Wake up man, Jones is riding on hype. Its the name of the game, build the fighter up to legendary status and watch the money roll in for all involved. Green had been trying to get a fight for years with Jones, but Jones or should i say his management, ALWAYS had some reason to decline the fight. I have followed Greens career from day one, the facts are there...check them out, watch video footage, Green would have destroyed him, just like he did when he got the chance....

[bcibibcibcpCB]

I couldn't realy understand why you had such a strange opinion, contradicting every single boxingexpert. Then I watched your profile and saw that you were from Australia, just like Green. That explains a lot. I would say, dream on if you think Green was a greater fighter then Roy. And maybe they will remember Green in Australia but in the rest of the world they don't care about him. That's why Roy gets to fights hopkins, nobody would pay to see Green...

[SPOOKSTR]

@bcibibcibcpCB

Jones is no bum, and he's definitely got great skill..........but no way is he as good as they try and make out. He's never impressed me to the point where i'd regard him the pound 4 pound best fighter in the world.

MMA is where the real action is these days.

[bcibibcibcpCB]

MMA? I will never forget the fight Mercer-Sylvia. Mercer who was almost 49 years old, fat, punch drunk, puched Tim Sylvia (former UFC champ, one of the best mma guys) out cold with one punch, the fight lasted 3 seconds. I see guys in mma fighting for the title who work full time! Can you imagine a world class boxer working full time? A real pro has to train all day, live for his sport. The point I want to make is that there is a a HUGE difference in talent between boxing and mma.

[SPOOKSTR]

@bcibibcibcpCB

I think you'll find none of the top ranked MMA fighters today work for a living, they are contracted to 6 figure deals. At first i was reluctant to follow MMA, and having watched a program showing the top 100 fights, i must admit i was impressed. The fights are much more realistic in terms of how a fight plays out in real life and another good point i have noticed is that the judges are pretty much right most of the time, no bullshit decisions so common in Boxing.

[bcibibcibcpCB]

-sich- Shane Carwin(undefeated), the guy who is gonna fight brock Lesnar(world champ ufc) works full time... Just try to fight a boxer who fights for a major belt who works full time, I dare you.

Speaking of Brock Lesnar, just try finding a boxer who fights for the title after only 2 fights!

You don't seem like a real boxing fan to me. MMA more realistic? Boxing is a sport, a test of skill and will power in 12 rounds, it takes ring tactics, speed and coordination that takes decades to master.

[SPOOKSTR]

@bcibibcibcpCB

Your right...im not a boxing fan...anymore. MMA is over taking boxing in terms of growth and popularity, get with the times man.....boxing is DOOMED and the sooner it kicks the bucket the better.

[bcibibcibcpCB]

Taking over? Just compare the box office between boxing and mma man :-). Boxers make 100x the money mma guys make. It's broadcasted prime time, it's an olympic sport. What is mma? The flavor of the month for a very particular audiance, who prefer a fast adreneline rush above a display of heart, skill and intelligence like boxing. I boxed myself, I know what it takes to make it to the top, extreme skill. All the guys who are not good enough for boxing or an other high paid sport go to mma.

[apacheslim]

@bcibibcibcpCB

mate thats not very nice!

[Blackjesus3]

@bcibibcibcpCB thats so true he did good though against john ruiz

[skeetskeet182]

That's the same thing I said. "WTF? John McCain?

[destructo1080]

roy jones was in the movie matrix reloaded seen it yesterday

[destructo1080]

calzaghe shouldnt even be a hall of famer he beat old boxers who were way past there prime and no calzaghe doesnt fight any more he retired.

[huthut91]

WTF? John McCain?

[JONNOG88]

I am British and a massive Joe Calzaghe fan (who has meet him in person).

But I must say that the Jones Vs Calzaghe fight was a farcade.

Calzaghe should have fought Chad Dawson/Kelly Paylik instead.

and Jones will no doubt be ranked above Calzaghe in the All Time Greats list.

[sfmasterkush]

does calzaghe still fight?

[JONNOG88]

No, he has offically retired as of November of 2008.

His last fight was against RJJ.

Although there was talk of him coming out of retirement to fight Reigning WBC Super-Middleweight champ and and fellow brit Carl Froch.

But I personally can't see that happening

[sfmasterkush]

what a clown

[paulxtreme]

@JONNOG88 calzaghe said he would never come bk but his life is going down the drain so hes gonna fight bhop again

[theguvnorjimmy]

@JONNOG88 The fact is that he was an exceptional boxer in his prime. He had great talent but was not a fighter. He bottled fighting Nigel Benn in his prime because Benn would have come to hurt him, rough him up and bust him up. Jones looks like a fool nowadays, way past his prime and his ass handed to him by Hopkins.

[essexboy240]

wtf is up with the narrator?

[junyc85]

don't mind him. christian bale beat him to the role in batman. gotta pay the bills somehow.

[essexboy240]

lol pretty good.

[quagmyre06]

joe calzaghe fites like a girl anyway

[essexboy240]

I guess Jones got beat up by a girl then lol

[BoxerBoyMartin]

Joe won that fight. Still hes a bitch and wont be remembered as a legend becuase all he did was fight and best 2 old legends but didnt give a rematch and thats all that he has to his name. Sad he thinks hes a legend and great fighter cuase hes neither.

[nica025]

ok wat the hell mccain is he doing in there

haha i didnt know he was a boxing fan

[Piglatinsuperstar]

The REAL SUGAR RAY!!!!!!

[Sirhailz]

Y'ALL MUST OF FORGOT!!!!

[jaycore]

jesus christ those are some delts for a kid

[latinprnigrican]

if i only knew mccain was a boxing fan...

haha

obama better attended some fights!

[FarRockStandUp]

Roy Jones Jr. will always rank higher than Calzaghe on the ATG list...Roy in 1997 would have shit on Joe C

[Gemmell0007]

who cares?

[jd558]

@FarRockStandUp

The illegal substances would have helped.

[Highestmedal]

@FarRockStandUp Most def roy was crazy. Hes up on the top list of best fighters ever for sure. Even can be put in like top 3

[callofd45]

hey guy, I'm really glad that u posted this vid, but could u work on the audio?it's not terrible, but could be better.

[drindgrate]

6x pound 4 pound,dats y hes d greatest boxer ROY JONES JR.

[valdonado19]

HaHAHA John McCain is more black then Obama!!!

[valdonado19]

Vote McCain!!!!

[watbish]

im obsessed with fiting

[FEB26911]

u cant even spell fighting

[xSportsKingx]

hahahahaha its fucking John McCain, wtf

[BenRichards87]

he's a huge boxing fan

[rockyzed93]

hes a RJJ fan, it was in boxing news.

Are u British?

Boxing news is a brit mag and they had an interview with McCain. Apparently he loves boxing

[xSportsKingx]

No I'm not British I'm from Massachutsetts. I realize hes a boxing fan now because Iv'e seen him in a few other boxing vids. But I left that comment 7 months ago when they were campaigning so it was a bit random to see him.

[jg582344]

wow volume on 63 thats gotta hurt ur ears

[drake10987]

i hate those fucking pathetic fathers who try to emulate their personal dreams with their sons. good thing he dumped the idiot.

[dkickboxer]

hey dumbass, why do you think Roy Jones made it as far as he did. It was because of the training his father instilled in him from day one. Ask RJJr and he will tell you that himself. He would not have become the great boxer he became if it wasn't for his father.

[tdk813]

That's tough love. Roy Jones's dad probably just wanted to see his son be the best, and to be the best you have to sacrifice.

The only thing is his dad wanted to run Roy's career as much as he did, he their personalities clashed and they had to split up.

[DHLHC]

wtf is john mcain doing in this?

[Satori1800]

Mike 'Who put a freakin tattoo on my head?' Tyson is greatest of all time.

Thanks for great video:)

[TALIBANBOYOreturns]

MCain's legislation, the "Professional Boxing Ammendment Act" was passed in 2006. It is all about health and safety standards, establishing a centralized medical registry to protect boxers, and providing uniformity in ranking criteria and contractual guidelines for professional boxers.

[dapunkof1975]

wow pretty interesting.

[ultimatesportsguy]

sweet video! you should check out the "behind the glory" video from ultimatesportsguy!

[ronMexico121]

roy jones junior owns. but the guy doing the narration is indeed a nut-sucking fag.

[slowplayking]

That same guy does the Delahoya one aswell. I think he just tries to over dramatize everything, it comes off as being contrived and lame...

[Darinion]

you love him, you want to have phone s@x with his voice you butt bandit boy

[tride619]

Thank you!!!!

[andyknox]

just his genetics eventually slowing him down and rusting up his reflexes happens to em all they cant all be like bernard hopkins

[godsun212]

roy jones was never a technical fighter, he fought with speed and great instincts. The man never used a jab and would always do unconvential tactics in the ring. once is speed slipped he was vunerable. You see in the first KO with Tarver he led with a lead right hand and stood there to watch it, leaving him self open in tarvers power zone, you dont do that with a southpaw. so i blame it on his lack of technique or disregard for it

[JLeo777]

Well thats what happens when you craft your whole fighting technique on unnatural reflexes. He was a phenomenon to boxing and could break all the rules, thats what made him great. When you get older reflexes diminish, look at Ali before him after his reflexes left all he could do was rope A dope.

[Ianb30]

Too old? He's younger than both of them!!!

[Odessman]

Roy Jones was really the best,but his was to old to fight Tarver and Johnson

[ironalex]

word!

[KingXanthar]

you re fk wrong...he is not only the best...he is the all time best...aome kind of difference
