Which one impresses you most, on film: SR Leonard or RJ Jr ?

Vic-JofreBRASIL · 02-09-2013, 06:14 PM

Basic question......
Leonard always impressed me a bit more......

techks · 02-09-2013, 06:16 PM

Impressed more with Jones athleticism and impressed more with SRL's skills. SRL. More into boxers I am.

turbotime · 02-09-2013, 06:23 PM

Roy Jones is the best I've seen on film.

ripcity · 02-09-2013, 06:31 PM

Even though I rate Leonard higher. I think Jones looks better.

Jones, hands down.

RJJ in his prime was one of the most skilled boxers ever. Watch Jones switch to southpaw and fire a left hand as fast as any southpaw that ever lived and tell me about his lack of skills.

Lack of skills when referring to Roy Jones has to be one of boxing's biggest myths.

Just because he didn't fight like Vernon Forrest. Who was greater?

Honestly? Sugar Ray.

Roy Jones was what-the-fuck talented but he didn't have the quite the same skill as Leonard, skilled as he was. SRL wasn't a whole bunch behind in the athleticism department, either.

orriray59 · 02-09-2013, 06:52 PM

For the record, I don't doubt RJJ's skills. He was stupidly skilled, just not at Sugar Ray Leonard's level. Close as fuck, though.

AlFrancis · 02-09-2013, 06:54 PM

Tough one that Vic, I'll go for Leonard. I wouldn't argue with anyone who picks Jones though. I enjoyed watching Leonard more.

Across whole, hard fights, Leonard. Highlight reels? Jones. There aren't many guys that look more impressive in snippets of their best moves than RJJ. ...Maybe there aren't any, let alone many.

Absolutely. The way he put together lighting fast combinations was stunning.

PhillyPhan69 · 02-09-2013, 07:01 PM

I am not personally a fan of either one....actually they are both on the lower end of the enjoyability/likeability spectrum for me...Having said that, I reluctantly admit that both are/were great(s). As far as more impresive I don't think that I could say one was head and shoulders above the other...so perhaps the thing that seperates it for me by rating SRL higher is that he proved it and looked as good against superior competition. Both are impressive, but SRL was equally impressive against superior competition.

This is probably the best highlight video on youtube at the moment though....
