Jones Jr: The round: Demonstration of all of his tools

This content is protected

A video I uploaded from House of Boxing onto youtube.

Many highlights of Jones 90's career here.

 

Round one how he got the first knock down, amazing. The guy had reflexes of a cat. If you watch how he was a step ahead

 

He was about as bad as it gets in his day. Even if you don't want to go so far as to say he's the greatest p4p ever, you have to acknowledge that he's in the conversation.

 

There can't have been too many in the history of boxing who had more in the way of natural gifts than Roy. I think his speed and reflexes set him apart more than his boxing ability though and he was just like a cat, as someone said above.

 

You really have to wonder why Jones did not/could not get the guy out of there in the first. A finisher gets rid of him. What business does Hall have lasting another 10 rounds after that first round anyway? He should never ever have lasted 2 rounds in that fight.

As for the Daruisz fights, once Hall was ready to go, he went. Hell, rocky Gannon got rid of Hall once he was ready to go in their fight before that Jones title shot. Different fights and different styles. But those "on top" style fighters always look that way when they are doing exactly that--on top.

 

To be truly great you need the entire package. Speed and reflexes, yes but as soon as he needed to take a shot... Boom... hit the floor like a sack of potatoes. No chin/No great.

 

This may be the only thing I've agreed with you on, ever.

 

Never seen this fight

Fantastic

 

If was willing to fight people in his prime the way he wants to fight everyone now he could have been. Its sad watching him get pounded for a pay check now.

 

Two words.....Risk Averse

 

I actually watched the Clinton Woods-RJJ fight last night,and as I watched Jones put on a complete clinic against the game Woods,I thought to myself "This is the same Clinton Woods that went on to be IBF champion and had 3 wars with a prime Glen Johnson going 1-1-1 against him,and Jones is making him look like a club fighter"

Incredible stuff.

 

Jones in his PRIME is unbelieveable, the absolute best show to watch in the ring.

 

It was always a thing of beauty to watch RJJ make those tiny adjustments with his head to dodge a punch. Lots of great fighters could do it but he always moved the least to get it done. Truley a sight to behold.

 

He was definitely amazing in his hey day. I still think his resume is suspect (minus bhop 1 & Toney)
