@backthemack, I totally disagree with pundits who claim that Roy Jones Jr. uses steroids....cmon! Its totally clear that he is on Longjack which is why when flashes of Hip Hop Honey videos came to his mind, his legs stretched out as an involuntary muscle reaction and he decided not to beat the count! It would have been a waste of muscle contraction if he shifted his focus and beat the count!
roy jones my childhood hero i would die 4 him he's a true american he don't give a fuk wat u pussy ass niggas sayin he famous u u jealous he's y i am 2day!!!!!!!
thats what happens when u come off drugs. jones was one of the biggest steroid users in boxing...the real reason he was so strong and fast! no real heart or toughness tho.
@backthemack Show me some evidence that supports your ridiculous theory. Just because Roy was a freakish athlete at a young age doesn't make him a steroid user.
doesnt it piss you off to see in my opinion the best light heavyweight boxer keep getting knocked out now?? hes way to old he has surely learnt that now, like they say "a good gambler knows when to quit" surly a good boxer knows when to retire??
why do people hate, its like they are saying they can do better with or without roids. This guy made his own career and people should accept that as it is and was. In my own opinion, he has one of the best highlights a boxer can have to his career in terms of performances, he can be proud and ignore the haters.
This is such a HATER type video. Roy Jones in his prime steps out of the way of that telegraphed right hook and lands three counter punches before Johnson can finish the punch. Roy Jones was great and this is like showing the Ali vs Holmes fight and trying to paint that as what Ali's career was like
Attention all Jones fans...This fuckhead has been spanked again...He's a clown...Listen assholes Jones is younger than Tarver or Johnson so fuck your "prime" theory Get fucked you dreamers
You guys can talk shit. Roy Jones is still the best fighter and laid more niggas out then anybody! So keep hating bitches. You can't win everyone all the time. Ecpecially as your getting older past 32. Stfu please.
Definitely a concussion here...look at his left arm. I want to see Roy when he's 50, because I wonder how many of these did he get when he was actually winning fights.
Even though I am Jamaican, I really seeing Roy lose to this cat. I hate how Glen Johnson was acting like he did something afterwards. Clearly Roy was never the same after that first Tarver Fight.
fixed? are you kidding? watch the longer video of the fight elsewhere on youtube. there's a detail so gruesome that the cameraman crops it out-- his left leg, like his left arm, is sticking straight out when he goes down, and stays up; it isn't flat on the canvas. his brain is no longer controlling his body, and he's completely frozen. i think that would be hard to fake.
this is a faked KO ! the punch looked like it was more of a push rather than a hard impact. physics physics physics people! the second punch? was nuthin on it but a push down. big fights big names = its all about the money. the competitive spirit is sadly killed and replaced by the need to make more $, at some point of a famous career.
@MrYoungmoney151 na bro you gota remember this was roy jones 2nd fight since he won the heavyweight title against john ruiz he had to lose a bunch of muscle weight to get back down to 175 in this fight and the fight with antonio tarver roys speed and reflexes were pretty much gone the fihgt wasnt fixed roy just wasnt himself
Roy was so good in his prime he never had to take a punch...
in retrospect, it may have been his weak chin that that was responsible for his fight tactics... he was excelent against some great fighters, and some great hitters, but in the end, the big hitters got him.. Could be the jumping up and down in weight so quick.. whatever the reason, he always comes across as a great man, and his history and boxing skills deserve respect
@countercross12 The thickness of the cranium wall,and cerebral fluid in the head, and nerve structure aligning the spine are the ONLY things that play a role in how a fighter takes a punch, and those are things you're BORN with. It isnt a skill, or anything that can be excercised. You either can take a shot or you can't. Jones couldn't and can't. He could do all the steroids he wants and have a 30 inch neck, he still will gaet laid out like road kill. Peace.
Although in your statement lays a big percentage of the truth you have to consider the muscles of the neck as well. Its the base of the brain, if its strong enough it will be moved with bigger amounts of power.
@countercross12 Getting hit IN GENERAL takes some getting used to because the average man is not accustomed to dealing with or handling the shock that comes to the body and mind when getting hit and beat on. A boxer eventually gets accustomed to it. The brain,however, never gets accustomed to ricocheting off the cranium. The neck doesnt absorb it because its a direct shot from the chin. The neck is a bystander. Do you understand that? Good lord.
@countercross12 I promise you trainers dont say "Get out of the ring, go over there, and give me 5 sets of neck workouts". They're more apt to say," get in the ring and lets work on moving YOUR HEAD!!!!". Ok? THAT will help decrease your chances of getting KTFO more than any damned neck exercise using weights. Again, explain how needle necks can take great shots? Explain why a pitbull can take the same punch and get laid out? You can't, can you?
@countercross12 When you get hit on the chin, it directly sends your brain bouncing off your cranium. Sorry, the neck aint in the way to catch it or absorb it. LOL. If you want me to get technical i will. I haven't yet, but I will. Again, just use alittle common sense. Don't you think that every trainer in the world would have his fighter on one serious ass neck regiment, if it had anything to do with taking a punch?
@countercross12 A BIG NECK HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH HOW WELL YOU TAKE A PUNCH. How well you take a punch is not a "physical ability" and cannot be improved upon. The only way to improve on taking a punch to the chin is by AVOIDING IT. The neck is NOT a "shock absorber". The neck has one function as you already mentioned---to hold up the head---PERIOD. Does the neck rest inside the skull between the brain and the skull? No? Then, it's not a "shock absorber".
@boxingsthebest1 GOTTA LOVE PEOPLE ON YOUTUBE! Roy should have stayed at heavyweight. The average fan doesn't think about the weight he had to lose to fight Tarver. It was PURE MUSCLE!!! To be able to beat Tarver the 1st fight is nothing short of greatness.
As for this fight, I thought the way his head hit the canvas was more damaging than the punch itself. Either way, no one who loves boxing could possibly deny Jones' greatness.
The thing with Roy, is that his defense was dependant on freakish reflexes and athleticism. In his prime, he could slip punches that no one else could.
When you are so dependent on speed and quickness, the decline is usually swift and sudden, because those are always the 1st 2 things to go.
When you lose that 1/2 step, all of a sudden those punches that you used to slip, are catching you. They begin to add up and then boom..youre done
"He could slip punches that nobody else could." Excuse me? Show me evidense. I'm curious.
Speed and quikness are always the first 2 things to go". Wrong. First it's your legs, then it's your friends.
Again, show me where Jones ever "slipped" a punch? I remember seeing him do alot of closing his eyes and pulling his head back and putting his guard up in front of his face on the ropes. Show me a fight where he slipped a punch. I'd like to see that.
@countercross12 Look at what happened when Jones,in his prime, fought oh whats his name? The white guy. Duvall? I dont remember. Anyway, Jones took the fight because,as always, it was a safe fight. The guy was white, slow, and used to be Roy's sparring partner.Yeah, his sparring partner. The guy touches Roy's chin and Roy goes flying face first into the canvas. Then the guy acted like he didnt know what he was supposed to do, like he messed up and wasnt supposed to hurt Roy. Lol.
@countercross12 The simple truth of the matter is that there are no excuses for Jones getting KTFO. The truth is, he could never take a punch. Everybody on the inside of boxing,all boxing insiders, have always known this. It is no secret, only to you fans. This is the reason why Jones ducked and priced himself out of every dangerous opponent he was ever confronted to face(Julian Jackson,McClellen,Benn,Lyles,Collins,Scully,Eubank,Hopkins,Echols,etc) in his prime. He was protected, and marketed.
@countercross12 I've know and have known many fighters and have been in close contact with fighters nearly every day for the past 30 yrs. I,myself, was a fighter. I've seen guys with needle necks take sledge hammers on the chin and not even blink. I've seen guys with tree trunks for necks get tapped on the chin with a feather and get stiffened out like road kill. I'm telling you, the neck has absolutely nothing to do with how well a fighter takes a punch. Is it a good idea to excersise it? Yes.
@countercross12 So you agree with me then. Age and neck size has very little, almost nothing, to do with your ability to take a punch. All those guys you mentioned trained their neck for no other reason than, they should. All boxers should do some form of neck excersises simply because a boxer needs a total body workout. Why build everything else and neglect the neck if you're a fighter? But, it has nothing to do with it making you take a better punch, it doesnt.
i noticed jones' cockiness in the ring faded as he got older or when he gets clocked. he's one of the greatest, no doubt. but when you dance around with your hands down taunting your opponent, you're bound to get ko'ed.
ahhhh!! :( kills me to watch this! i wish i could back in the 90s when roy was dominating, i used to stay up til 3 in the morning here in the uk to watch his fights live! LEGEND
BOXING FOR DUMMIES: When you get older your ability to take a punch naturally DECLINES because taking a punch is based on neck strength. Also if you let your neck get weak and don't work it out your ability to take a punch also drops. This is exactly what happened to Roy. He used to sit on the ropes and take punches out of boredom.
@Zachrydaman LOl. Neck strength has ABSOLUTELY NOTHING to do with your jaw or ability to take a punch. Thats the dumbest thing i've heard in awhile. Age has very little,if anything, to do with it either. Ali took punches better the older he got, mostly do to the fact he laid ON THE ROPES and took punches where he could easily see them coming. Holmes couldnt even floor him when he fought Ali with Parkinson's, yet Cooper Ko'd young Cassius on his feet, but luckily was saved by the bell and Dundee.
U notice the couple guys that beat Roy Jones: Johnson, Tarver, are not as famous, of better than Jones they just had his # that night. Except B. Hopkins he still going strong but Roy Jones Jr. is legendary..
Jones will go down as a legend...This is what happens after fighters fight passed their prime this has happened to every great fighter...Ali, De la Hoya, Gatti, Tyson etc... No one can stay great forever this is the cycle of boxing...
I love it when the announcers start to talk so non-challantly about the fight, and other matters, and then WHAM the ko comes out of fucking no where! LOL... Larry Merchant's reaction was as if he saw a beheading video for the first time! LOL...
It's so weird...when Roy gets KO'd...its like the circuits just COMPLETELY shut off in his head. I was SCARED when I saw this live...like he might have suffered brain damage or something. Or worse. He was knocked COLD. Then that last farce against Medvedev...same thing. His brain just shuts DOWN. And its going to get him killed in the ring. Not hurt, not damaged...killed, if he doesn't retire.
His left hand was down, leaving him exposed. Any good boxer would've taken advantage of the opportunity. Damn, you see him "lock up" forty seconds in? Ouch.
@IcolossusPSN ...What a dip shit. I hate when people say things like that AFTER he was the pound for pound best in the world for ten years straight according to fans and all the experts. He dominated an entire decade and his time ran out, point blank. But no, all of a sudden when they get older and start losing, they are fake. Shut the hell up and go make sense. And the same about Floyd and any other long time champ too. You dont reign as champ for a decade and be fake.
roy jones was a great boxer before he got old, but the truth is that all of his "greatness" was due to speed, not ring skills, not heart or determination, not his chin
Also it was more of his head hitting the canvas than johnson hitting him. WHen your head its the canvas like that its over. Its worse than getting hitting flushed
@Slimkidd730 I know. So all us amature boxers should start k.o.ing people in a way that makes them hit their head on the canvas for massive damge to them, which in turn will lower their "power bar". I say "power bar" because when sparring im at 100% , but after the first good hit to the head i seriously feel as if my energy and mental focus has been drained just like in a video game. Bottom line is, try not to get hit with a power punch.
To tell you the truth Glen Johnson was for real when he knocked out roy jones. Because people forget that Johnson then fought Tarver and johnson beat tarver. Johnson had his seconds of fame but he was for real. I
This clown Glen Johnson would not have come close to doing this to Roy in his prime!, Bernard Hopkins whipped Glen Johnson's ass the entire fight when they fought back in the early 90's! Glen Johnson betta savor this victory, because he wouldn't have come close back in the day
@MrWakarimashita Would you say Danny Green is a somebody? Because Roy Jones beat Tarver in the first fight, he remained competitive in the third fight, and Danny Green got FUCKING OBLITERATED by Tarver.
Roy Jones was invincible by beating nobodies. And when he started facing somebodies, he kept losing. Look at his chin...he has no chin....That kind of chin is called a glass jaw.
The sad part is if you look carefully, Roy got knocked out cold by the way his head hit the floor. Look at the reaction of his body, specially his face when the back of his head bounces from the impact... that's a bad a fall as it gets.
@multipastilan Your chin doesn't just get softer his reflexes are slown down considerably shots he could either roll off his shoulder or dodge completely are coming home because his reaction time is slow. That boy has always had a glass jaw
Ya'll must have forgot Jones gotta glass JAW!!!! But IRON willed warrior Glen Johnson didn't and he starched that shameful mandible! Nothing better than shattered glass! It's irrefutable.
@IcolossusPSN You guys are dumb. Roy had no defense, it's all reflexes and head movement. Floyd has some of the best defense of all time. You think Pacquiao is gonna knock Floyd out with one punch? LOL, you probably don't know, but Floyd isn't Hatton. Get off of Manny's dick already, you people are fucking retarded.
@PureBoxerP4P Pretty much. Roy never learned the basics because he never NEEDED the basics. He had the athletic talent to get by without them. That's what made him so amazing.
But as soon as that "young man" physical ability wore off, he was screwed. He had no basics to fall back on.
@FSMNoodlyAppendage Exactly. Roy never learned the proper technique, b/c he was so physically gifted & had tremendous reflexes. That's why he went down hill so fast, b/c when he lost that little step, he couldn't get away with the things that made him great. This is what I'm trying to explain to this dumb Pac fan. Pac isn't gonna knock Floyd out with one punch. Floyd is not Roy athletic, but he's very athletic, AND he has sick defensive technique. Even if you catch Floyd, you won't finish him.
@PureBoxerP4P Good point! Technique is a Boxer's foundation. If they apply it correctly while in their prime - it will serve them good as they get older and they lose that spilt-second of reflex.
@FSMNoodlyAppendage i agree sort of, he knew and was taught the basics, it just was his style, and he couldnt develop a whole new style as he got slower basicly he picked up a bad habit that he couldnt use to his favour anymore
Mayweather is scared of Pac Man!!! He's hoping Pac Man gets old or disinterested in fighting so then he might have a chance. Step up and get your a** kicked like a man Floyd!!!! Punk!!!!
The back of his head hit the mat just as hard as Johnson's punch hit him. That's the scary part when a guy falls like that. It's like getting hit with two hard punches instead of one.
This is a good video, you can hear the power of the shot very well. Johnson is a much better fighter then people believe but prime vs prime Jones wins easily.
Watching Jones highlights it's hard to believe that he would end up with 8 defeats. Geting old sucks.
Roy Jones Jnr was de second best light heavyweight of all time, just because he got knocked out ye call him a pussy? how is that fight fixed anyway... he got ko'd no denying it! the majority of the greatest fighters of all time ends on a low... does that mean there all pussys and shit? hahah fools
noe of ye have a clue... roy jones jnr was de second best light heavyweight of all time an for yee to be callin him a pussy because he got knocked out? HAHA YOU ARE FUCKED IN DE HEAD
@Budman75149 Shut the fuck up. You know shit about boxing. Go learn the sports history before calling Roy the second best light heavyweight of all time, because he really fucking isn't. He wouldn't even make the top 25! Langford, Greb, Rosenbloom, Conn, Charles, etc. Are all better than him.
He's good, but second best light heavyweight of all time? Bullshit. Who do you have as the first? Joe Calzaghe? Bernard Hopkins? LOL.
@orriray59highlights ....preach man. You're speaking to people that have no historical reference when it comes to the sport. Usually for them, whomever is the latest, is the greatest. There are folks who are calling Manny Pacquiao the greatest ever...WTH. I had a debate recently with someone say that Pac-Man and Pretty Floyd are better than Sugar and Hearns (as Welters). *Sigh*...why bother talking to these idiots???
@DSmith3613 I feel you. Somebody tried to convince me before that Nikolai Valuev has a better opposition than Muhammad Ali.... That was a serious WTF moment.
@orriray59highlights Valuev is a shitty boxer... for Christ sake, he's a 7 foot 300 pound giant that beats down on smaller guys. No much technical skills at all if any.
Roy Owned just got knocked out again today lol. If you notice in all of his knockdowns he never tries to get up and always got his eyes closed going to sleep instead of beating the count he says fuck it lol. He has no chin. I am so ready for this to happen to the overrated Fraud Gayweather from Pacquiao ko'ing him but Fraud us to smart not to sign the contract lol.
That fucker was unconscious before he hit the canvas

@countercross12 Look at what happened when Jones,in his prime, fought oh whats his name? The white guy. Duvall? I dont remember. Anyway, Jones took the fight because,as always, it was a safe fight. The guy was white, slow, and used to be Roy's sparring partner.Yeah, his sparring partner. The guy touches Roy's chin and Roy goes flying face first into the canvas. Then the guy acted like he didnt know what he was supposed to do, like he messed up and wasnt supposed to hurt Roy. Lol.
TheChoice264 3 months ago
@countercross12 The simple truth of the matter is that there are no excuses for Jones getting KTFO. The truth is, he could never take a punch. Everybody on the inside of boxing,all boxing insiders, have always known this. It is no secret, only to you fans. This is the reason why Jones ducked and priced himself out of every dangerous opponent he was ever confronted to face(Julian Jackson,McClellen,Benn,Lyles,Collins,Scully,Eubank,Hopkins,Echols,etc) in his prime. He was protected, and marketed.

@countercross12 I've know and have known many fighters and have been in close contact with fighters nearly every day for the past 30 yrs. I,myself, was a fighter. I've seen guys with needle necks take sledge hammers on the chin and not even blink. I've seen guys with tree trunks for necks get tapped on the chin with a feather and get stiffened out like road kill. I'm telling you, the neck has absolutely nothing to do with how well a fighter takes a punch. Is it a good idea to excersise it? Yes.
TheChoice264 3 months ago
@countercross12 So you agree with me then. Age and neck size has very little, almost nothing, to do with your ability to take a punch. All those guys you mentioned trained their neck for no other reason than, they should. All boxers should do some form of neck excersises simply because a boxer needs a total body workout. Why build everything else and neglect the neck if you're a fighter? But, it has nothing to do with it making you take a better punch, it doesnt.

BOXING FOR DUMMIES: When you get older your ability to take a punch naturally DECLINES because taking a punch is based on neck strength. Also if you let your neck get weak and don't work it out your ability to take a punch also drops. This is exactly what happened to Roy. He used to sit on the ropes and take punches out of boredom.
Zachrydaman 4 months ago
@Zachrydaman LOl. Neck strength has ABSOLUTELY NOTHING to do with your jaw or ability to take a punch. Thats the dumbest thing i've heard in awhile. Age has very little,if anything, to do with it either. Ali took punches better the older he got, mostly do to the fact he laid ON THE ROPES and took punches where he could easily see them coming. Holmes couldnt even floor him when he fought Ali with Parkinson's, yet Cooper Ko'd young Cassius on his feet, but luckily was saved by the bell and Dundee.

@Slimkidd730 I know. So all us amature boxers should start k.o.ing people in a way that makes them hit their head on the canvas for massive damge to them, which in turn will lower their "power bar". I say "power bar" because when sparring im at 100% , but after the first good hit to the head i seriously feel as if my energy and mental focus has been drained just like in a video game. Bottom line is, try not to get hit with a power punch.

PureBoxerP4P 7 months ago 12
@PureBoxerP4P Pretty much. Roy never learned the basics because he never NEEDED the basics. He had the athletic talent to get by without them. That's what made him so amazing.
But as soon as that "young man" physical ability wore off, he was screwed. He had no basics to fall back on.
FSMNoodlyAppendage 7 months ago
@FSMNoodlyAppendage Exactly. Roy never learned the proper technique, b/c he was so physically gifted & had tremendous reflexes. That's why he went down hill so fast, b/c when he lost that little step, he couldn't get away with the things that made him great. This is what I'm trying to explain to this dumb Pac fan. Pac isn't gonna knock Floyd out with one punch. Floyd is not Roy athletic, but he's very athletic, AND he has sick defensive technique. Even if you catch Floyd, you won't finish him.

@PureBoxerP4P Good point! Technique is a Boxer's foundation. If they apply it correctly while in their prime - it will serve them good as they get older and they lose that spilt-second of reflex.
