Does science prove RJJ the best boxer ever

Ah, good ol boxinglegendsTV clickbait

His content is actually good but I can't stand the titles/thumbnails

 

BLTV, master of clickbait.

He has to be one of the talented to ever live, but I think a lot ended up achieving a lot more, I think if he went up against a true ATG his reliance on just having way more raw talent, would fail him. One of the things I love about Bob Fitzsimmons, was how he turned the fight with Corbett around, and I think that sort of ability is needed to be the best.

Even recently I'd have to pick Mayweather over Roy Jones.

 

Nothing on that vid explained why Jones could be the greatest ever scientifically, Jones was good but I really don`t understand the hype about him still to this day.

 

There is no way i would ever pick Maywether over Jones
Maybe Mayweather was smarter in how he managed his career and picked his opponents but in terms of skill Jones .

 

I'll take Ruby Robert over him.

 

Roy was insanely fast and dangerously explosive. He was a truly gifted athlete in the ring. However he was likely on steroids and he didn’t face a lot of top threats especially at light heavy. He hurt his legacy tremendously post Ruiz.

 

TBH, I never seen a more naturally gifted boxer ever in my life, I'm talking about RJJ 160-168 btw. His fight vs Brannon is probably my favorite fight to watch, I've never seen speed, power, confidence and cat like reflexes like that before, especially for a Super Middleweight... people can say whatever they want, but there will never be another Roy Jones Jr.

 

Roy was a marvel at middle. Theres so many great boxers whos best???

 

In terms of pure athleticism and talent he's undeniably #1. In h2h in his prime i have him top 5 at 168-175 so if anyone would get nominated it'd be him.

 

This was not a scientific study.. This was a guy talking fast and proving nothing. Roy didn't fight too many legends.
