Just got the Roy Jone Jr career set today,and watched just couple of fights..
Anyone seen the fight with a guy called Richard Hall wow that was awsome never seen anything like that before ranks up with one of the best boxing performances I have ever seen that first round was crazy...Superfast hand speed..Surly Jones has got to be one of the best pound for pound boxers ever...
COOL CLICK! DAMN STRAIGHTQuote:

But you have to admit Hall isn't exactly a class opponent for RJJ... that being said RJJ looked spectacular.
lol i believe the commentators were ripping hall actually aswell cos they were saying and this guy is number one contender? maybe i should get into it ... i could be world champ!! lolQuote:

peace...
( also check out rjj-vinni pazienza!!...brilliance!!)
Agreed. That fight is B-E-A-Utiful! :coolclick:Quote:

Even the fighters that were technically brilliant such as Toney & Hopkins had severe issues with Jones back in his day.
Sad that everyone's down on Jones now, but his time has come & gone & I still say that his safety is an issue.
:appl:
The craziest RJJ KO is when he does it to Art Serwano..... Fwocken scary to watch a guy get hit in the temple twist his leg hit the canvas and have a mini-seizure eyes rolling back & all. :-\
lol Roy Jones Junior in his hay day......WOW is the correct word!
He won't be fully appreciated until he is an old man ;) and his highlights reels will rest at the top of the pile ;D
I loved the way he schooled Toney! But the Kelly KO is my favourite. Jones had some awesome highlights!!!
I am new to Saddoboxing. Are most of the users British on here??? And why can't boxers stay out of the ring late in life to keep some pride and help with their legacy??
heres a cc bro welcome to the forum. I think there a mix of all sorts on the forum. As to boxers staying to long I thinks its ego & the limelight. Jones could lose his next 5 fights though & still not affect his legacy!Quote:

They don't call him "Destroyer" for nothing. Anyone who has seen his fights with Julian Letterlough, and even recently with Glen Johnson, know he has a lot of heart and serious power. He was a valid opponent for Roy, and very similiar to Nigel Benn IMO. Yet Roy destroyed the "Destroyer" Hall in spectacular fashion, the jogging thing with his knees up was bad ass! :o 8)

Roy was great in that fight,that night he was untouchable I don't think any light heavy could beat him that night.But IMO the ref stopped that fight way to late,Hall was being hammeres for way to long.Not healthy at all.
Thanks for your replys well in my opinion I never seen anyone fight like that in a boxing ring in my 27 years of been on this planet...I got the career set yesterday in the post and watched the hall fight first only cos i seen the knockdown on tv...But WOW there was a lot more then that his speed fast hands...I just hope now that the rest of his fights on the other dvd are even 25% as good....Dont think i will bother even watching the Tarver fight cos looked to be boring highlights i have seen off it before.....
Hey thanks for the map, CutMeMick. Mostly guys I see.... A few years ago I worked at a store where this very attractive young lady would buy 'the ring' magazine loyally... What we miss out on. HA.
Roy was not a bad fighter mighta stretched to a Lonsdale at a push .
I Started this topic nearly 2 weeks ago,since I have watched now nearly all the Roy Jones career set...And have to say really enjoyed it at the end in his fights with Tarver and Johnson he was only a shodow off himself...
Just wanted to see peoples opinions on his best fights...
I liked the fights against...
Panzenza
Hall [my fave]
Johnson
Kelly
Ruiz
yeh man i feel most of his fights were great and entertaining...Quote:

i think it was mike mcallum when he threw a few shots got him off balance and finished with the baddest straitest hardest strait right hand strait down the middle perfect connection...
they showed a birdseye view of the shots and it blew me away"!!
My favorite knockdown(s) was the counter right hand he threw that dropped Reggie Johnson. But the most beautiful has to be the left hook right cross he landed on Reggie Johnson a little while later..amazing..Quote:

Spot on Starr thats it. I have a replay where you can see how his right leg twists really bad. Ugly KO to see his mouth open like that & his eyes rolling back. In the entire play of that once the ref. takes out his mouth piece the look in Arts face is saying 'What happend'Quote:

CC CUTEMIRAAAAAWBERT! u hear i believe it sounds like bert sugar saying his last big win RJJ thru 29 unanswered punches in the first round KO! ahahaha now thats the RJJ im talking about!
yeh man i mean he fought some of the best of his time and once he was champ all the people were still good competative number one contenders and imbetween the GREAT fights with the likes of vinni paz, james toney , bernard hopkins,Quote:

i think the hate just spread a little too far and people jus diss roy jones cos they hand handle greatness unless its who they want to be great..
peace
I have just watched 2 more fights from the career set today one against a guy called Byrd he gets battered it the first round..Ant the next fight is against a guy called Thronton jones wins in the 3rd round I htink again this guy also gets whipped..
I have yet to see the lou de valle fight all I know is jones gets put down for the first time on this one....
