Watching this made me realize (Roy Jones jr.)

Definitely one of the two or three most skilled boxers I've ever seen.

 

More like least skilled.

There's a reason that the minute he lost some of his reflexes and speed he turned to dog ****.

 

Wouldn't say he was the least skilled, but there's no doubt his inability to fight through adversity or take a decent punch just shows Jones really isn't some sort of animal that was on a different level to Mayweather.

 

In terms of what he could do with his fists..and basically his body,he was.

Griffin sparred with Floyd and said RJJ was much faster, and he was 30lbs heavier!

In terms of raw,freak ability, very few people in history can match RJJ.

Those 4 hooks, that 1-2.

He could do things in the ring,that literally no one else in history could do.

 

It was probably more of the fact he was so above of all his peers the drop in level was far more noticeable.

 

I'm not going to join the debate,but I'd like to thank the OP very much for posting that.
I thoroughly enjoyed it.

Fixed that for ya

 

if only floyd had devastating power

 

Sure he always showed flashes of brilliance with his speed and power but my point was about his overall legacy and standing and how it compares to a Floyd Mayweather.

 

I could slap Roy jones and he would be sleeping

 

Thats true, I was just making the point that his raw ability in the ring surpasses Floyd.

Floyd may go down as the greater boxer due to legacy and acheivements, but RJJ is still the man when it comes to ability.

In the modern era, you could compare his to Ronaldinho in soccer. He dropped off a lot while still young and was always erratic,and had flaws, but he could do thinks on the field NO ONE else could.

 

question..can you name half the guys int hose highlights?

 

wrong Roy had 0 fundalmentals and relied only on reflexes and speed and had 0 to back it up..fighters like Hopkins have fundalmentals and can fight in
