Like the title, what are Jones best fights? I haven't seen nearly as much of him as I should as he was a shadow of what he once was when I became a boxing fan, so I'm trying to learn more about him.
I'd assume the Hopkins, Toney, Ruiz, Griffin fights have to be among his best, but what are you personal favorites?

Roy Jones Jr vs Art Serwano = Brutal KO.
Roy Jones Jr vs Glen Wolfe = Wipeout.
Roy Jones Jr vs Thulani Malinga = Good KO over a tough veteran, who took Eubank and Benn the distance, and even beat Benn once.
Roy Jones Jr vs Vinny Pazienza = Roy Jones Jr wins a round without a glove being landed on him, he also uses a good jab in this fight. Showing he could be more technical if he wanted to be.
Roy Jones Jr vs Merqui Sosa = 2 round war.
Roy Jones Jr vs Tony Thorton = 30 punch flurry ending combo.
Roy Joens Jr vs Brant Brannon = What he would of done to Glen Johnson.
Roy Jones Jr vs Mike McCallum = Roy Jones Jr tested early, but then shows alot of respect to Mike McCallum late on. But still floors him late and wins a wide UD, good fight.
Roy Jones Jr vs Virgil Hill = Brutal body shot KO ouch.
Roy Jones Jr vs Clinton Woods = Roy Jones Jr beats up a game Clinton Woods, good fight because Clinton Woods never stops trying.
Roy Joens Jr vs Glen Kelly = Roy Jones Jr knocks him out, with his hands behind his back.
Roy Jones Jr vs Lou Del Valle = Roy Jones Jr floored in this fight, worth checking out.
The ones that made me sit up and shut up....
KO's of Malinga and Hill....two of the best body shot finishes by a prize fighter.....W over Castro,Tate,Gonzalez,Griffin 2,Toney...still think he got in Toneys head and had him half beat prior to opening bell,in hindsight his blitz of Thorton was nice.I thought Thorton beat Eubanks prior.
Ones I didnt like at all....Pazienza heavily hyped farce,W.10 over a carried Chirino,McCallum,Trinidad,Lucas
Montell Griffin I presented some problems to Roy because of Griffin;s fast hands.
Montell II was a shock. That's the best RJJ version IMO.
All the fights mentioned above...plus the David Telesco fight. Love watching roy back into to corner and fight out.
Also check out the Bryant Brannon fight, that's the one where he talked about facing all of the europeans before the fight..Benn Collins Eubank etc...
And I agree the best version of RJJwas the one that showed up for the Griffith rematch, he was physically 100%..he looked like a chiseled statue...
