Is this Roy Jones Jr at his absolute peak?

Roy Jones was actually doing an interview in the ring before this fight where he called out everyone and their mother

 

Jones peak hmm who knows ..He has had so many great performances its hard to norrow it down !

Larry Merchant uses "strong arm tactics" to get his interview!

Thought that was weird.

Now that that's done, yeah, I actually prefer Jones-Virgil Hill, as he simply destroyed and outclassed a good, solid fighter that night with a perfect bodyshot ending it. Beautiful performance if you ask me.

 

That had to be one of the best body shots of all time !!

 

Jones got hit lots in this fight, just goes to show he wasn't impervious to being hit early in his career, he just had a little bit more of a chin, those right hands were solid.

One thing noticeable about this fight is how sheepish and almost sullen RJJ looks having hurt this guy that badly after the fight, almost pissed off that the ref made him do that.

 

His chin was never an issue it was his defense that allowed him to avoid big punches .

 

I prety much agree on all counts. Roy was simply superhuman in that fight. Personally, I consider his prime to run from the James Toney fight all the way to the John Ruiz fight. So if you load a clip anywhere in there - you can find something to be amazed by.

 

Yes, that was a peak Jones.

Against a very shitty opponent, though.

 

Opponent had the right idea, just wasn't able to execute.

 

His peak was most liekly against Ruiz but his best perfromance imo was against Toney so who knows when his peak was !

 

Yes, he had the right idea. But come on, Bryant Brannon is a C-level fighter at best.

A better example of a peak Jones would be the fight with James Toney. At least Toney was a good fighter and had well-known tools that could trouble Jones. Others: Virgil Hill, Montell Griffin.
