    93 to 2003 with an absolute peak betwwn 94 to 2000:

    Toney 94
    Griffin 97
    Reggie Johnson: 99 : Lightning speed
    Richard Hall: 2000 Complete destruction with big fashion

    At super middle but he had lost some power there already. He was a bigger puncher at middleweight.

    1994 to 2001. He showed some techincal improvements at LHW but around 2001 he slowed down.

    its a tough one to call because the 1st time that jones was tested for anabolic steroids in his entire professional career, he was found to have 6 times the normal level of testestorone in his body.

    roided jones peak was probably griffin 2

    clean jones peak around the woods fight

    I think you can argue that Bryant Brannon was his "Cleveland Willamas fight".

    Looking sublime and unreal (against overmatched opposition). The speed, those left hooks, the double left uppercut and left hook combo.

    From May '94 (Thomas Tate) to October '96 (Bryant Brannon), i.e. the end of his stint at Middleweight and the duration of his time at Super Middle.

    I'd say that would've been the Pazienza fight.

    Roy's peak was the tony fight. But when he fought woods he was more clever but slight on the down. Roy was done by the time he fought Ruiz he was hit more then normal agaisnt ruiz

    I think Roy's fastest weight was middle u could hardly see his hands move. Griffen who sparred with mayweather said jones was faster. This was when mayweather was at his fastest

    For some body to be a supermiddle weight/light heavy And be faster then the fastest smaller fighters around. Can u picture how fast rjj would be if he was same size as mayweather,PAC,amir

    For the same reason Ali was special
