Gotta give credit to Vinny Paz. He showed the heart of a lion in this fight and he had the right idea in the early rounds. The only way you could beat prime Roy Jones is to muscle him into a corner and do work to his body. Roy hated fighting with his back to the ropes, that was the only place he was vulnerable. If you try to stand in the middle of the ring and box with him you lose every time, just too quick, too explosive and too talented. Roy Jones Jr = best super middleweight of all time.
@PHILLYHEAT215 Watch Jones' fights with Brannon and especially Sosa. He willingly goes to the ropes against big, strong guys and counter-punches the hell ouf of them in close. Brannon was a bum, but Sosa was a huge hitter and an immensely strong guy. Jones straight schooled him in his comfort area and stopped him in two, and Sosa was also known for his durability (the stoppage was questionable, though).
This Roy that we're seeing here never lost a fight. The closest anyone ever came from beating this man was Hopkins who won 4 rounds when Roy had a busted hand and was quoted after the fight saying he had an "off night." I can't think of anyone who can beat a 46 year old Hopkins on an off night and a busted hand let alone a 28 year old Hopkins.
I LOVE WATCHIN ROY J BEAT UP ON WEAK ASS MEXICANS IT FUNNY CUZ.ITS ALSO FUNNY WHN THA MEXICAN BAR FIGHTS AND LANDS NOTHIN AND ALL THE MEXICANS START CHEERIN LIKE HE DID SUMTIN BIG LMAO!!YALL CANT FIGHT.NO FINNESS
@MrTakeoff27 You really think that a guy called Vinny Pazienza, who speaks like an extra from Rocky 3 is Mexican???? Stop embarrassing yourself, you sound like you were bullied by a Mexican kid at school. Speaking of school, I'll educate you just a little, its 'finesse' dumbass.
This is one of roy jones jr's best fight in the sense that the 6th round was a no hitter! They stated that he did not take one physically demanding punch.
Pazienza had no chance whatsoever in this fight. He talked his way into this one, and Roy basically sliced him up and finished him in style. Paz made some good money, but he got a severe ass whipping for his time.
couldnt have happened to a BIGGER MEAT BALL PIECE OF SHIT......FUCK YOU GUIDIO....THATS WHAT YOU GET FOR BEING A TALKING TUFF GUY....FUCH YOU..ASS HOLE!!
Roy should've retired after winning the heavy weight belt,that was his goal & the perfect opportunity for him to leave an unblemished mark on his rep & career. Still he was fun to watch.
@lee1990lee first off, i dont blame vinny, in fact i respect him because he fought roy at that weight,at that time in his career, and after a broken neck. About ruiz i see your point, but roy jones was so much better than ruiz. Even though ruiz was a heavyweight, roy had it easier vs ruiz than vinny vs roy. As for roy, he had a very succesful career but his people should stop him from fighting any longer. He cant beat father time.
This fight should shame roy, he fought a blown-up lightweight!!! Thats why people critisize roy so much, he had natural talent but fought too many cops, bakers, and low level fighters.
@mywordsaretrue but john ruiz fought a blown up light middleweight in roy jones and lost iran barkley foguht a blow up light weight and lost vinny wanted the fight he got it theres nuthink wrong with fighting somone moving up in weight plenty of guys have moved up and won
you can only retain that kind of athleticism, power and reflexes when you grow older, its really sad that he's still fighting. Should of retired after John Ruiz but he just can't let boxing go.
The reason for Jones downfall was simply his move to heavyweight and then back down again, you simply can't lose that much muscle/weight and be effective. It took alot out of him. His speed and skills were unmatched, great fighter and champion, who should be in the hof someday.
This cocky overrated POS was talking about hollywood making a movie about his life since he was an amateur. The guy is so dislikable that only a few loyalists from his native town will go see it. He is a braggart and a big mouth. Anyone who truly knows the sweet science would agree. He never beat a top fighter in their prime. And I don't count Haugen bc he never REALLY beat Haugen (in their 1st fight). I give "The Fighter" my 2 thumbs up bc that was about a DECENT fighter Mickey Ward.
V.P. is a glorified club fighter. He did get outpointed by Haugen twice, ( I saw the rematch at ringside in AC) he did complain in the ring to refs, and he was a dirty low class guy all around. He would grab the ropes at his own leisure without penalty, hold and hit, etc. If you are saying that he was not a big mouth you are deluding yourself. I have never seen a more self loving phony in the sport. The guy ate punches like a masochist and never truly learned his trade.
...CHILD PLEASE! Pac Man just fought at a "catch weight" with Margarito; Why didn't De la Hoya, Mosely, Vargas call him out in his prime. Thats right, they didn't want none! If anyone who is thinking of taking up boxing, or introducing their kids to boxing, HERE IS THE BLUEPRINT!
This man is simply one if not the greatest junior middleweight to heavyweight fighter to ever lace up a pair of boxing gloves! He had every single technique that you could ask for with defense as his primary cause when he went on the offensive it was over! He made the busiest fighters think twice; you could see by compubox that their output were always lower when they faced RJJ. Tarver had been to so many of RJJs' fights that I lost count, but he waited until Roy went to heavy to call him out...
roy jones is easily in the top 3 fighters that ever lived with out a doubt all the haters can go fuck them selves they dono shit . he fought everyone there was to fight never backed down to no one . a fighting style even boxing greats couldnt believe
it's been hard to remember this roy jones as his saga drags on into a standard late-career sadness, so I was happy to watch this fight again. I must have been part of that "y'all" that musta forgot.
Roy was a unique fighter... but, I never felt he'd be one that could take punishment... from simple science. Roy doesn't have the big head or square jaw that most fighters have that can absorb head shots well. It was clear than when his reflexes slowed and he aged that he would get beat and it wasn't gonna be pretty. Same with Mayweather... guys like Ali, Leonard, Holyfield, etc. can take punishment and have the heads built to absorb head shots.
@eugenemcgirt mayweather can take a punch. he took some big shots from corley. and the mosley fight most fighters would have gone down from those shots esp the second one which was on the temple which is almost an immediate knockdown because your all dizzy but he he had recovered before the round ended and was actually firing back.
I always hated Pazienza, he was the biggest cheapshot artist in boxing!...He repeatedly hit people after the bell, or held the back of peoples heads and hit....I'm glad RJJ kicked his ass
Wow it took Jones 6rds to stop a blown up lightweight who was way past his prime.No wonder everyone forgot about this bum once he started getting K.O.ed
@M14Mann Roy jones doesnt like to jump on people so harshly. He HATES hurting people. Crazy i know. Look after the first knockdown. Most Fighters would just jump on the guy. Jones hesitates. He does that A LOT. Jones actually cried when got to his locker room because he thought he seriously hurt Vinny
@M14Mann Roy jones was never a bum. Like i just dont get people that discredit really good fighters. I dont get it at all. like wow when i hear ignorant comments like that i really wonder if the person has any clue about boxing at all.
@oz1227 My favorite question when dealing with bum jones is: What do sumbu kalamby,michael nunn, and iran barkley have in common? answer there all fighters jones ducked. my point being is, jones had physical skills but he was weak mentally (ducked fighters he should have fought but the risk was to great). it's why he's forgotten now.
@oz1227 I reakon it's painfully obvious that a lot of people don't have a clue what they're talking about when it come's to the subject of boxing or they wouldn't be making half of the silly comments they do. A hell of a lot of people including those who know enough about the sport to know better say Jones was overrated and all the rest of it but Jones was SPECIAL. A once in a life time fighter and any true fan of boxing will ALWAYS remember him for the sheer genius he was.
@danjon54 Not only a genius but also the most athletically gifted boxer that has ever lived. To be that big naturally yet still have arguably the fastest hands the sport has ever seen plus the countless other advantages he had evertime he stepped in the ring in his prime.
For the true Roy Jones fans you know that this man has never lost. Yes Roy Jones has been beat but not this one the one who got beat was a shell of this man. This man lost fewer rounds in his prime than any fighter in history. He would beat hall of fame fighters so easily people thought it must be because they weren't that great no it was that Roy was that much better. Bernard Hopkins has been fighting the top fighters for 20 years the only time he lost a fight that wasn't close was against RJ.
Yeah but Bernard Hopkins was at the end of his career at that time. Bernard was a shell of himself when RJ fought him. Jones has skills though, no doubt!
Jones may not have been beaten (discounting the DQ) during his prime, but he also didn't fight the best opposition available - after Hopkins and Toney, the next in line were Benn, Collins, Michalczewski, but none of those fights ever happened. At heavyweight, he could and should have taken on much better fighters than John Ruiz, but never did. Jones was far too concerned with only taking "safe" fights, and that is why his legacy will be one of massive potential...that went largely unfulfilled.
@garethac81 I don't think Benn would have lasted long with his absent defence, Toney is still fighting so that says something about the quality he had, I've never been the biggest fan of Collins. Rjj v Mclellan would have been good.
I agree with you about Benn...but the point is, we'll never know. With Benn, Collins, Michalczewski and quite a few other potential big fights, Jones opted to pass them up and fight weaker opposition instead. His MO was to get the highest paydays for the lowest risk...you could call that smart, but when it comes to building a legacy as a boxing great, that policy hurts him in a big way.
I agree...it's always sad to see a great boxer go on fighting too long. His loss to Danny Green was especially humiliating. But with that said, these final losses actually don't mean much when evaluating Jones' career, because old fighters going out on a trail of losses has long been in the norm in this sport. It's not the final losses that will hurt Jones' legacy...it's the fights as a young man he never took that will sell him short when comparing him to the greats.
@garethac81 - The funny thing is, when I look back at old fights of his, his flaws are more obvious now that I know what they lead to; like failing to circle away and getting caught on the ropes, I almost cringed expecting him to get K.O'd again, even though I know who wins the fight! lol
(Obviously back then, he had the reflexes along with the ability to flurry off the ropes & he wasn't just standing there like a lame Winky-Wright-Defense impersonator)
@slimer84 left foot,left hook,left uppercut!right foot,right hook,right uppercut!left foot,left hook,left uppercut,goodnight!you dont have to like him,but you (should) respect his skills!he had (great)boxing skills and (great) understanding of how to apply them in the ring!
@slimer84 John Ruiz may not have been an exciting fighter but he is a legit hw hall of famer who beat some good fighters, and it's not easy for a fighter to jump from mw to hw or more guys would have done it so far there's been only 2. Also he did dominate Hopkins 8rds to 4, and Bernard was never in the fight. And lastly you wanna say Vinny, James Toney, Montell Griffin, Virgil Hill, and Tarver had no talent? (all were multiple time champs)
@bigsleep32 yes i loved watching this roy when i was young.. his left hook was faster then most peoples jab... he could put punch together out of no where.. roy just had no Defence but he didnt get hit that much... roy jones jr the great...
@Robstailey thats why he fought guys like James Toney and Bernard Hopkins...and then moved on to fight heavyweight even though he was outweighed by more than 30 lbs...
@bigsleep32 . I tell people in my all time p4p top 5 roy has to fit in there somewhere. And even people who know boxing will be like well i dunno he got kod blah blah blah tarver this and that. Roy had athletic ability like only IMO 4 fighters ever had him, ali and whitaker, myweahter jr (if he beats pacman eventually) Once jones got older and moved up in weight he lost what made him special, and he now needs to retire. But in his prime one of THE BEST fighters to ever lace up
@bigsleep32 .. I thought the first fight against Hopkins was close .. I wouldn't say it was easy. He did beat the living shit out of James Toney though .. I would say he embarrassed Toney.
@bigsleep32 True. That's 1 way of looking @ it. You could also make the argument that the Hopkins who fought Roy the 1st time, wasn't the same fighter he grew to become. Roy CHOSE to continue fighting. You must average his career as a whole. I do know what you mean though. But 1 more thing. During those years when Jones was unbeatable, there didn't seem to by many prime/great fighters. Not his fault, but still. The losing fewer rounds thing, comparable to Sweet P Whitaker.
Roy Jones, jr. is an Alien Assassin, from another planet!!! We don't have the DNA technology to prove it . but, we will in about 100 years, we'll know then, and feel like a bunch of fools. Probably, was on a probing mission, and crash land here, in the in 1950's or 1970's Only he wasn't a little green & silver man!!! But a full grown " PREATOR " soldier/scout, Can you explain the "Superhuman" hand speed, and Heavyweight punching power for his size,and Especially the endless stamina!!! hahaha.
@CHRISTIANBOUND36, ...Of course not, just having some fun, with you boxing fans!!!! You guys are at times so damn serious!!! Has the sport, cost you guys some money???? or what???
@MrJeffreydunson calm down buddy well there are weirdos out there who will make comments like that for example sum believe bush and obama are reptillians !!
@rexboogie Unfortunately, we probably won't. I've been a boxing fan my whole life and was an amateur fighter from the late 80's until 1994, and I see the progression of supremely athletes becoming less interested in boxing, and moreso in MMA, basketball, and football. The once rich culture of amateur boxing in this country has all but (as evinced by the US team's lack of gold medals in '08). Boxing is getting absorbed, literally, by MMA ... alot of ex-pros are hired to train MMA guys now.
I remember seeing this live, fuck I was so happy to see that *** bleed, especially cause that fucker was on steroids as well. he didn't belong in the same sentence as Roy Jones, let alone fighting him. Just don't do really stupid shit to get a bit more money.....I guess she'll know in the next life....yeah.....
man... wish roy would have kept that jab going throughout... he might be undefeated to this day if he had cause even though he was slower vs. tarver he was still quicker than any LHW.
What a finish. I Doubt theres a fighter in history who could have beaten this Roy Jones

For the true Roy Jones fans you know that this man has never lost. Yes Roy Jones has been beat but not this one the one who got beat was a shell of this man. This man lost fewer rounds in his prime than any fighter in history. He would beat hall of fame fighters so easily people thought it must be because they weren't that great no it was that Roy was that much better. Bernard Hopkins has been fighting the top fighters for 20 years the only time he lost a fight that wasn't close was against RJ.
bigsleep32 2 years ago 46
Yeah but Bernard Hopkins was at the end of his career at that time. Bernard was a shell of himself when RJ fought him. Jones has skills though, no doubt!
vicegripp 2 years ago
Jones may not have been beaten (discounting the DQ) during his prime, but he also didn't fight the best opposition available - after Hopkins and Toney, the next in line were Benn, Collins, Michalczewski, but none of those fights ever happened. At heavyweight, he could and should have taken on much better fighters than John Ruiz, but never did. Jones was far too concerned with only taking "safe" fights, and that is why his legacy will be one of massive potential...that went largely unfulfilled.
garethac81 1 year ago
@garethac81 I don't think Benn would have lasted long with his absent defence, Toney is still fighting so that says something about the quality he had, I've never been the biggest fan of Collins. Rjj v Mclellan would have been good.

@CapsLockRAGE
I agree with you about Benn...but the point is, we'll never know. With Benn, Collins, Michalczewski and quite a few other potential big fights, Jones opted to pass them up and fight weaker opposition instead. His MO was to get the highest paydays for the lowest risk...you could call that smart, but when it comes to building a legacy as a boxing great, that policy hurts him in a big way.
garethac81 1 year ago
@garethac81 I just wish Roy would stop now, but I don't think he will to be honest.
CapsLockRAGE 1 year ago
@CapsLockRAGE
I agree...it's always sad to see a great boxer go on fighting too long. His loss to Danny Green was especially humiliating. But with that said, these final losses actually don't mean much when evaluating Jones' career, because old fighters going out on a trail of losses has long been in the norm in this sport. It's not the final losses that will hurt Jones' legacy...it's the fights as a young man he never took that will sell him short when comparing him to the greats.
garethac81 1 year ago
@garethac81 - The funny thing is, when I look back at old fights of his, his flaws are more obvious now that I know what they lead to; like failing to circle away and getting caught on the ropes, I almost cringed expecting him to get K.O'd again, even though I know who wins the fight! lol
(Obviously back then, he had the reflexes along with the ability to flurry off the ropes & he wasn't just standing there like a lame Winky-Wright-Defense impersonator)

@bigsleep32 tyson won almost every round while with rooney. But like tyson,jones got old fast.

So in this case true fan means deluded hugger?
What hall of fame fighters?
Mike McCallum who was great in the mid 1980's? Who Roy fought in 1996? Over a year after he lost to the great Fabrice Tiozzo?
Bernard will be in the hall when he retires but that wasn't exactly a dominating win and people didn't think he wasn't or couldn't be great.
So that leaves who? John Ruiz, that young knock out kid?
Roy's record is a blackhole of talent. Or at least his win column is.

@slimer84 John Ruiz may not have been an exciting fighter but he is a legit hw hall of famer who beat some good fighters, and it's not easy for a fighter to jump from mw to hw or more guys would have done it so far there's been only 2. Also he did dominate Hopkins 8rds to 4, and Bernard was never in the fight. And lastly you wanna say Vinny, James Toney, Montell Griffin, Virgil Hill, and Tarver had no talent? (all were multiple time champs)

@bigsleep32 . I tell people in my all time p4p top 5 roy has to fit in there somewhere. And even people who know boxing will be like well i dunno he got kod blah blah blah tarver this and that. Roy had athletic ability like only IMO 4 fighters ever had him, ali and whitaker, myweahter jr (if he beats pacman eventually) Once jones got older and moved up in weight he lost what made him special, and he now needs to retire. But in his prime one of THE BEST fighters to ever lace up

@bigsleep32 .. I thought the first fight against Hopkins was close .. I wouldn't say it was easy. He did beat the living shit out of James Toney though .. I would say he embarrassed Toney.
FLOOD504 8 months ago
@bigsleep32 True. That's 1 way of looking @ it. You could also make the argument that the Hopkins who fought Roy the 1st time, wasn't the same fighter he grew to become. Roy CHOSE to continue fighting. You must average his career as a whole. I do know what you mean though. But 1 more thing. During those years when Jones was unbeatable, there didn't seem to by many prime/great fighters. Not his fault, but still. The losing fewer rounds thing, comparable to Sweet P Whitaker.

Roy Jones, jr. is an Alien Assassin, from another planet!!! We don't have the DNA technology to prove it . but, we will in about 100 years, we'll know then, and feel like a bunch of fools. Probably, was on a probing mission, and crash land here, in the in 1950's or 1970's Only he wasn't a little green & silver man!!! But a full grown " PREATOR " soldier/scout, Can you explain the "Superhuman" hand speed, and Heavyweight punching power for his size,and Especially the endless stamina!!! hahaha.

@rexboogie Unfortunately, we probably won't. I've been a boxing fan my whole life and was an amateur fighter from the late 80's until 1994, and I see the progression of supremely athletes becoming less interested in boxing, and moreso in MMA, basketball, and football. The once rich culture of amateur boxing in this country has all but (as evinced by the US team's lack of gold medals in '08). Boxing is getting absorbed, literally, by MMA ... alot of ex-pros are hired to train MMA guys now.
