Roy Jones Jr Best Performance

There was a thread for Hops so I decided to make one for my man RJJ.

 

Griffin II was amazing. Toney was also quality.

 

I thought the Toney fight was a great performance, even though it's not particularly a fun fight to watch.

 

oooo, i was thinking paz but griffin 2 probably wins. said it once, say it a thousand times, forget paz and his limitations jones performance that night was transcendent. his jab, movement, defense (not getting hit for an entire round!) everything was mind boggling

 

With the standard of opposition in mind: James Toney, Montell Griffin II

For sheer brilliance, not giving the standard of opposition a second thought: Richard Hall, Vinny Pazienza

 

Toney, Hill, and Hall are Roy's 3 best performances IMO.

 

It was somewhat painful for me because even though I'm a Roy fan at the same time I'm a Toney fan.

 

Tarver 1 was good too. Ya can't say Roy didn't deal with adversity after watching that fight but Roy didn't look like "Superman" in that fight so that may take away from that fight.

 

Tough for me to pick one. Honestly, I think the guy that was in the ring with Malinga is pretty much unbeatable head-to-head.

 

toney, but also ruiz, for the heavywieght championship, what a man what a athelte

 

Griffin II - Hill - best body shot I've ever seen.
Ruiz - was amazing.. but Jones was never the same.

 

i'm gonna throw out the bryan brannon fight. again, not the best fighter but he JUMPED on jones and applied constant pressure...and was destroyed for it. a rare glimpse of jones fighting purely on the inside

 

Jones was never the same after Ruiz.
If Jones retired after Ruiz easily the best fighter of all time.
What if Jones stayed at 175.. ?

 

i loved the body shot vs. hill.....

 

I don't understand how people say a fighter that just dropped from Heavyweight, and won the Light Heavyweight title back in the very next fight never faced adversity.:huh
