I was stationed in Pensacola, Fl for 2 yrs and i've played with Roy before. I've beat him and those guys he plays with before. Lol he's a cool dude though.
i always had a goal and a dream and one day i was in class and i said i wanna be the wbc champion one day my classmates would tease me and laugh at me what hurt the most was even my teacher would laugh so i told them "just because you cant do something yourselves you guys wanna tell me i cant do something" this has been a dream of mine so im gonna protect it even though i hear "cant".i sacrificed so much. WAKING UP AT 4 AM ON A SCHOOL DAY WILL PAY OFF ONE DAY I JUST KNOW IT. DREAM BIG!!!!!!!!!
Call me crazy but I think Prime Roy Jones Jr deserves to be ranked in the low top 10 best P4P boxers of all time and when it comes to ATG P4P ranking they mention guys like Robinson,Ali,Armstrong,Duran,Louis,Greb and others but they never mention a prime Roy Jones Jr despite that his legacy wasn't as great as their but I believe he could of prove it was greater if he was fighting at a greater era.IMO Roy Jones Jr was very underrated in terms of ATG P4P.
I hate when they try to show Manny Pacquaio playing ball against those fat ass flipos, Phillippines doesnt produce basketball players ive never seen so many missed free throws on TV there and Manny Pacquaio cant ball for shit
guys sorry but... I dont rly believe that, that is the real Roy... i just dont believe... i wanna believe because if his realy like that, he is the first good boxer without much aggression problems. For example... Mike tyson like to eat children XD
when roy moved up to heavyweight he shud of stayed there. He damaged his twitch muscles by putting on weight then burning it to get back down to light heavyweight. If yall look at the history of boxing, those who entered a higher division and went back down (especially from 200 lbs to 175) never were the same....just my opinion
it's not all about motivation. it's mostly because he went into heavyweight , put that weight way too fast and he lost that weight also too fast. he literally drained his body and lost his speed & power.
how can anyone compare roy jones to floyd mayweather,roy was p4p king for a decade,he made great fighters toys to play with,if you look at floyds record roy fought the better fighters,the losses started coming when he got old,floyds to scared to get in the ring with someone great in their prime,a certain manny pacquiao comes to mind!,so floyd will probaly retire again saying hes the best ever when he hasnt done a thing,to compare roy to floyd wot a joke!
you guys cant compare roy and floyd, 1st of all, they in different weight class, and 2nd, Roy's legacy is WAYYY better than floyd, the only notable fights floyd had was a bum coralez, hatton, a washed up oscar, marquez which wasnt he's weight, an old mosley, other than those, NOBODY, he ducked pacquiao,

The reason he fell off is clear right here, he had accomplished everything in the ring, he was into his music enjoying his life and spending time with his family. He simply lost his motivation, then you get guys like Tarver hungry to have that life who train 10 times harder than you. Roy is probably the most talented boxer ever but without the motivation his talent was not quite enough on 6 occasions.
Indeed i agree. When tarver beat him he already acomplished everything he wanted to as a boxer. And tarver was a hungry up coming fighter so yeea he had all the motivation. Roy jones is one of my favboxers next to Ali and sugar ray robinson and sugar ray leanord
@tull06 which still means that in his prime he was the greatest LHW ever and a p4p great.Anybody talking about Calzaghe must ask themselves why Calzaghe (who WAS sick) never fought the HW boxers.Answer? They'd uh knocked him out.But they CAN'T knock out a prime Roy Jones (who,btw,is SMALLER than Calzaghe).
@aybaby1024: Roy not even close to Mayweather. Roy next to Mayweather is just an ordinary fighter. No way Roy best boxer. If you made this comment as a joke then is all cool, but seriously not funny. Peace (The Great).
@LeftHandedToby : Sure he is, knockout in two rounds by a single punch, knockout out for ten minutes, could not last a single round against a C fighter. Roy is a decent fighter but light years away from Mayweather. Comparing Mayweather to Jones is offensive. Roy next to Mayweather is a journeyman. Peace (The Great).,
@UncleChuckNitty That is the most biased, blind shit I've ever heard-Highest rated opponent Floyd ever fought was 39 year old mosley who rocked Floyd at 33-FACT: Roy got hit MUCH LESS than Floyd his whole career until 33 years old FACT: Roy fought bigger men then himself constantly-Floyd avoided a whole division-Floyd got hit by Castillo, Corley, Judah and Mosley-Find a fighter that hit Roy before 35- Roy got Prime Hopkins, Toney and more FLOYD HAS: mosley-WTF are you talking about?
@LeftHandedToby Roy got a loss. how can Roy be better than Floyd? Floyd never loss. you can't say that unless somebody beat Floyd. I love Roy Jones but think before you say something like that.
@ironman36 you guys cant compare roy and floyd, 1st of all, they in different weight class, and 2nd, Roy's legacy is WAYYY better than floyd, the only notable fights floyd had was a bum coralez, hatton, a washed up oscar, marquez which wasnt he's weight, an old mosley, other than those, NOBODY, he ducked pacquiao,
@ironman36 roy's 41 and floyd's 31... what was roy's record when he was 31 ?? actually what am i talking to you for,only some dumb 12 year old would make a comment like that
Floyd is actually 33 with 41 wins no losses. when Roy was 33, he was Knocked the fuck out by Tarver and Johnson. if anybody is dumb its you and you would know how 12 year olds sound like. you're last girlfriend was 12.
@ironman36 Both are magnificent fighters,but Roy snared world titles from MW to HW in every weight class except cruiser.He's only the 2nd MW champ to become HW champ in world history.While Floyd is undoubtedly the p4p best in this era (despite whatever the Pac fans say),Roy has cemented himself in a more rarefied arena of the greats.Roy--like Floyd--became more cautious and selective of his opponents as time wore on,but Roy took risks first.
