Naz or RJJ: Who was more physically...

Roy Jones was the greatest talent boxing has ever seen, especially in the middleweights where I can’t favor any pugilist in history to best him under the Queensberry rules of traditional boxing.

Anything Nas could of done Roy could of done better, with more refined technique.

 

Sure the excuse is BS but so is every other PED excuse. In fact the substance he tested positive for was in fact over the counter and legal back then(which, along with the fact that the Indiana state comission had no authority to test for PEDs back then, was why he didn't get a ban)
The androstenone or whatever is afaik a metabolite of exogenous testosterone he took(don't quote me on that) so yes he was likely on PEDs but who wasn't back then? Where are all the other Roy Jones if all it takes is some PEDs.

Fury, Canelo, Toney, Saunders, Holyfield,a Vargas and many of my other favourite fighters have been popped.


And when it comes to his chin, he took enough shots in his prime against Griffin, Ruiz, Gonzalez to give him the benefit of the doubt that it wasn't complete glass in his prime. Just like kovalev could take a decent shot in his prime and is now glass jawed. Same with SRL, his chin also declined rapidly over just 2-3 fights.

 

Toney hit Jones with a huge left hook in the 5th I think. Jones just stared at him. It looked like he had some crazy chin or something with that, at the time

 

RJJ by far and away. RJJ is on a league of his own. There is no comparison whatsoever here.

Speed RJJ power Naz

 

Kinda miss guys like RJJ and Naz, been a while since we had an athletic freak of nature like that.

 

That's why I say Naz had better power just like Wilder no technique was involved

 

Naz was super talented, amazing reflexes, probably the hardest hitting featherweight ever and good hand speed, but RJJ was just the most gifted fighter there probably has ever been. His hand speed was ridiculous and at middle and supermiddle he hit as hard as anyone, his reflexes were practically supernatural, who the hell puts their hands behind their back and then drops you!

 

There's no argument for Naz, here.

 

A prime Roy Jones Jnr is the best fighter I have ever seen.

 

Agreed. Oliver McCall would even fall against Hamed's unlimited power. I wish people would just accept that.

 

They must’ve forgot!

 

Roy defended against schoolteachers, police officers &even an Aussie garbage collector yet never travelled abroad to fight. He made a career out of being blatantly robbed in Seoul
