Thread: what where Roy Jones Best matches?

If you were to do a comp of six - what would you put on for the best of Roy Jones?

Jones v.

Tarver I
Toney
Bryant Brannon (the guy had either never lost or only lost once and Jones absolutely CLOWNED him)
Griffin II
Ruiz
Woods

I can honestly say all Roy Jones fights are brilliant to watch, even the not so exciting fights were against legends in James Toney and Bhop.

1. vs. Richard Hall... Roy was at his brutal, devistating best, throwing hard, lighting quick bombs from all angles and positions. Just a great "virtuoso" performance and it was really a hard fight to watch because of the terrible beating Hall took.

2. vs Montell Griffen 2 - Roy at his best again, not only was he 100% focused and prepared, but he came into the fight with mean intentions, something we don't see very often from Roy. This fight was early in Jones' Light heavyweight career, and by knocking out a tough, legit LHW in Montell Griffen with one punch he showed the world that he carried his power even up at that weight.

3. vs James Toney - A lot of the Jones' haters make excuses saying "ohhh toney was weight drained for this fight", but the fact of the matter is Toney is one the best fighters of our generation and Jones made him look like a bum.

4. vs Pazienza - Pulled out most of his arsenal, fast combination punching, big powershots from strange angles, and also showed that he had a terriffic jab when he wanted to use it.

5. vs Glen Kelly - Utterly destroyed Kelly with hard shots to the body and head, and the ending is the stuff of legends.

6. vs John Ruiz - IMO this fight gets downplayed because of how unpopular Ruiz is, but the fact is Ruiz was a good HW who had a functional 40lb weight advantage over Jones. He beat guys like Holyfield, Golota, Oquendo and Rahman, and Roy Jones just dominated him (I think I gave Ruiz 1 round). A masterful display of the Sweet Science by Jones.

Feel better now u got that off your chest? Trying to down play an all time great.

James Toney- He dominated a p4p fighter in Toney
Montell Griffin- Griffin never even had a chance
Virgil Hill- Stopped Hill who never been stopped before with a wicked body shot
John Ruiz- Ruiz wasn't the best, but he was a decent Heavyweight
Bernard Hopkins- He beat Hopkins with one hand. Pretty impressive
Thomas Tate- Jones made Tate pay for all that shit talking he did before the fight

It's the truth, Them two fights told us more about his demeanor than his last decade of fights, Just my opinion.

Lol, He was good for what he was.. Ya know what I'm saying. But I believe he has Hiv/Aids or something. Also I think he has pectorial implants, Look at the Pic... Notice around the side of the chest there are scars, With a chest that big, His triceps should be big but there non-existent. Atleast it look so. I think hes broke and looking for money even if it endangers another fighters life which is the sad thing. Here goes some Tommy Pics before and after.

Thers no down playing what Jones has accomplished inside the ring since his amateur days, He's a legend and BHOF lock, But those two fight answered the what if Question...What will happen if Roy gets caught and we all know now.
