Pretty close to Superman thats for sure, just needed the "S" on his chest and you wouldn't be able to tell the differnce. BestP4P I remember watchin the Roy Jones Jr. vs John Ruiz fight and being very impressed myself. It was great to see Roy win a portion of the HW title. Now if he would have beaten Lennox, THAT would have been fukin unbelieavable. But beating Ruiz was still pretty good. Ruiz, boring fuker that he is, has beaten a lot of top heavweights.
Re: I miss the Old Roy Jones
At one time I was a big RJJ fan, but he started thinking he was the greatest fighter ever, talking shit about Sugar Ray Robinson, he become unbearable to listen to " WHEN RJ SHOWS UP BAY-BEE, YA'LL DON'T WANT NONE, I'LL FIGHT ANYONE, ANYWHERE!!! Then Jim Lampley stated that Roy Jones was the only HBO fighter that was given a list of fighters to which he said NO! or Yes! to. He always criticized De La Hoya, yet Oscar never ducked any fighter, Jones can't say the same. When Tarver knocked his head off and then Glen Johnson K.O. him in back to back fights that humbled his arrogant ass, so I don't miss him at all. Many people on this forum think he was unbeatable with post about him beating all-time great heavyweights like Marciano and Louis, ......I think there all crazy.

Yeah and he also did steriods, I don't care what anybody says.
Re: I miss the Old Roy Jones
Roy Jones Jr.
Arrogant conceited hot dog with vastly overinflated sense of his own greatness. Outstanding athletic abilities.
Brought down by one punch.
Unable to deal with adversity in the ring.
How many times did we see him win a fight by hot dogging it against guys who really were not in the same league.
That shot he took from Tarver cheered me up immensely.
Glad as hell he's gone.

as most people are when someone is as great as roy..someone will always sit back and wish for his fall...but it took 15years and lack of motivation for him to get hit by a lucky punch...
Not to mention the punch would have kayo'ed anybody...and roy got up but nady stopped it...anyway you forgot to to mention how much heart roy had to dominate for 15years...

Not at all There are a lot of equally great and dominant fighters with long careers that I have admired, I just don't like hot dogs. I never said he wasn't good.
So you are saying Roy wasn't motivated therefore he got caught by that punch? I think I remember him saying something about not being motivated. Sounds like an excuse to me.
As for whether or not he was fit, I thought he looked pretty sharp in that 2nd fight, not "way past it" as many would say.

I agree with the part about him being sharp in 2nd fight i thought he looked sharp with his punches he won 1st round easily and just got caught with lucky punch it happens even to the best of em.
Re: I miss the Old Roy Jones
Maybe if Tarver hadn't gotten into drugs, they would have fought a little sooner, when Roy was at his very best. He was still good that night and got caught, but I find it hard to believe that Tarver at the peak of his talent and physical ability beats a Roy Jones at the peak of his talent and ability.
