Yep. At the end of RJJ's career when asked whom was the TOUGHEST boxer he ever faced he said "Best BOXER hands down James Toney". Shear toughness, Jorge Castro. Hardest puncher, Merqui Sosa, by far. (of course this was before he exhibitioned Tyson.)
That was one of the greatest 12 round performances by a single fighter that I’ve ever seen. Toney was an undefeated champion and Jones just absolutely schooled him. Crazy
People blow shit way out of proportion. How could he 'school' one of the most talented, well-rounded fighters ever? Nobody taught Toney a damn thing in the ring.
@@lifeofsh1neErrol Spence wasn’t the same after multiple car accidents and only fought twice in 4 years going into Bud fight. James Toney is a peak HOFamer right here. Spence will never be a HOFamer and is lucky if he is half the fighter Toney was.
@@Buz-Lunch-Punx Audley Harrison was both more calmer and relaxed than both Toney or Maywether. So calm in fact he would often forget he was boxing and not throw a single punch throughout a fight👊🏽
@@Buz-Lunch-Punxyeah I do. I think being calm is secret to not expending energy. Caleb plant is never calm that's why he always gases out. He can't sustain his defense because it's not based on calm confidence and rhythm
This fight is so under-rated this is one of the best displays of boxing skill ever toney’s Philly shell defence and counters and Roys unorthodox offensive style 👌🏽 what a beautiful dual
The fact Roy made Toney look silly in their primes is a testament to Roy's greatness. I thought I was watching this fight sped up lol Roy's speed and accuracy was ridiculous
@georgevincent1834 : his superhuman speed ended up being bittersweet... i contend that no one ever landed a solid punch on roy jones junior until he was past his prime... And that he could never actually take a punch, but no one ever landed flush when he was prime, .. And yes superhuman reflexes
Roy Jones is still my favorite all-time fighter. Dude was insane in his prime. I will agree he went a little too long but it’s hard to let go of what you love doing.
I respect it. He lives for what he loves, not for our judgment. He's already given us more than what we thought was possible, whatever he does to enjoy his life is well-deserved to me.
He was 49-1 (50-0 because he was winning but threw a punch after dropping his opponent) when he got knocked out for the first time . If he retired after getting belt from tarver you could argue he was the goat at basically 50-0 like Floyd Mayweather except he did that at multiple higher weight classes in arguably a better era
@@hottakes6078 I think he still in the conversation. His best years rival or eclipse anyone’s best years. Nobody holds Jordan’s years with the wizards against him….lol Mayweather made a perfect record criteria for goat….but to me that don’t matter as long as you avenge yourself. Could Floyd have beaten pac-man 2 of 3? The world will never know because of pride. Ali lost….he’s the champ of champs….this can go on and on because it’s fun to talk about….lol
@@brumph7256 Facts. Roy is my favorite of all-time too. Roy looked much more spectacular than Floyd in his prime, far more entertaining while also winning.
I agree. It was tough to watch him fight Calzaghe at the time because Roy was past his prime. Calzaghe never fought anyone in their prime and was the most overrated boxer I've ever seen.
@@pauliesarachelli5246 Yeah. No. Toney would’ve done better, but he still doesn’t beat Jones. Roy’s prime IS like no other. No one beats him in his prime. Toney with a better weight cut wouldnt change anything at all. Roy’s style is Toney’s nightmare. Distance and clinch (Roy) vs close range dirty boxing and defense. Also the fact you use an excuse as to why Toney didn’t do his best when Roy barely tried himself proves my point more. Roy never had a bad time in this fight. Toney had plenty, and one better camp isn’t gonna change that
I'm not sure there's anybody in history at 168 could've beaten Roy Jones or james Toney this night boxing at it finest . Super hot offense against Icey smooth defense
I swear there will never be another ROY JONES JR EVER!! What a boxer, and so entertaining to watch, and just a natural boxer! I am so glad I lived in the best generation EVER! Tyson was heavy weight during this time, and all the other GREATS!
What a tactical battle....technique vs talent....counter punching vs agression....shoulder roll vs punching & dissapearing. Really a war...it's incredible how well roy managed this fight in the later rounds...❤
Classic example of why fighters study film. Roy studied film on Toney for weeks in preparation while Toney barely watched film on Roy thinking just another fight. Terrible mistake by Toney and got embarrassed. Toney's victories over Nunn and McCallum made him complacent.
Toneys defence..... I'm literally speechless. How the fk did both of them leave the same way they looked on the way in with so many punches thrown. Holy shit a prime Jones is crazy he didn't even remotely tire and could have easily put in more work (just didn't want to get caught)
Pound for pound ounce for ounce this was the best performance in a ring for the last 40 years considering the calibre of Toney who is an undefeated future hall of fame slick as hell boxer , I mean to shut Toney out completely was absolutely incredible!
Crawford’s last performance was the best I’ve seen on live tv. Too young to see this classic live on tv. I’m sure during its time tho, it was legendary.
@@alsimmons3567 bad comparison. Spence isn't on the same skill level as Toney, plus he was on the decline. RJJ and Toney were both prime and elite level skilled boxers and RJJ dominated Toney, which no other boxer did.
Around 16:45 has made me laugh so hard I'm about to go insane. Roy Jones Jr truly is the best pound for pound....possibly ever. Not only can he win, he creates hilarious boxing magic that you've never seen before. Art
You aren't wrong my man....I wish it could have been Jones Jr. Instead of Mayweather who fought Paul in that exhibition.... Mayweather is too careful, Roy Jones has a vicious streak, and would have given Paul the beating we wanted to see him take...
yeah dawg he isn't underated at all. one of the best p4p fighters of all time and no one really disagrees with that. maybe the fastest boxer ever. after he won the heavyweight title he wasn't the same fighter but a prime Roy Jones jr was actually unbeatable.
Roy in his mid 20’s was a pleasure to watch. He put on a boxing clinic and beat a good champion with speed, foot work and combinations. He also defeated him mentally. It had to be frustrating for James to get hit with a 3 punch combination and Roy was gone before he could counter.
as i watch this fight 25 years later I can't help but to notice that Toney did not use his jab enough. He should have been doubling and tripling his jab all night to get inside of Jones and push him back up to the ropes where Roy was vulnerable. Jones was masterful punching backwards. One of the few guys who could knock you out going backwards. If he's on the ropes you take that trait away.
Maybe. I'm much more familiar with RJJ than Toney, but RJJ nullified a lot of jabs with the leaping left. Normally the jab would be faster so you had to time the hook, but RJJ's flying hook was ridiculously fast AND he could time it, so it acted as a check hook. For southpaws, he'd switch to the straight with head movement to counter the jab. I could be wrong, but I fee like while other fighters' try to establish the jab early, RJJ's game plan is to dismantle the jab early.
Also Roy in his prime did just fine against the ropes. I forget which fight it is, but he had his hands behind his back and then BAM. Knockdown with the right hand
Thanks so much for sharing. I did enjoy seeing this great fifthers . I do have to said Roy Jones is the best boxer I have seen. God bless you all. Saludos desde Puerto Rico.
Toney had Jones hurt in round 5 and got his respect. You could tell how hesitant Jones was to start the 6th round, Toney should of put the pressure to begin the 6th, that was his only chance because of how hesitant Jones was to start that round, but he didn’t put the pressure on and let Jones get comfortable and back into his rhythm again. But wow Jones is so fast..Prime Jones is the best fighter that I’ve ever seen to be honest.
At 26:40 Toney whirls around with a left hook that barely missed Jones, the crowd reacted because it was an unusual punch that nearly clipped Jones. Right after at 26:46 watch the ref Richard Steele come into center screen with a big smile on his face. He was entertained by the punch himself.
Roy's a class act. He'd invented some of his own moves that work well for him. There's fighters and there's boxers and Roy Jones Jr. was a phenomenol boxer! And always exciting to watch. I love the way he'll move to the one side of his opponent and come around with a wicked hook on the opposite side. Or one way Roy uses to reposition himself is a punch to the stomach as he moves in close enough to turn his opponent around leaving Jones in a more advantageous position.
Conditioning,Speed,Defense,Stamina, And Most Of All Stay Focused at Training Are The 5# Elements Of Making A Skilled And Great Fighter (Roy Jones Jr) Was A Great Fighter 1 Of The G.O.A.T In Our Time ✊👑🐐🌎💯
Toney had fought 4 months prior to fighting Roy, thats very active for today's fighters, but for Toney back then, 4 months was a layoff. His manager Kallen would keep him fighting every 4-8 weeks because she knew he would balloon up in weight. And thats exactly what he did, put on over 50 lbs, went into training camp at over 220 lbs. He essentially had fat camp
Jones uses his dive bomb punch at 8:52 opens arms wide Toney doesn`t know whether hook or right hand is coming and Roy lands two hooks to the side of Toney`s body.
Roy in his prime was something super super special. What a time to be alive!!! Thank God for blessing us with all the beautiful masters of their crafts…. However, Larry Merchant was never one of them… 👎
It was a good move to skip school for this fight. Night classes? But it seems like you skipped school many times. And you might be color blind. God bless ya.
This fight never gets old... These two... truly gifted with legendary skill sets a piece... 💜🌌🎆®️🎇 I do miss this period of life very much... it was a fantastic period to be involved in this art-form
@@RightInFrontOfYou I watched at .25 slow motion. Roy's flurries look great but he was missing almost every punch time after time. The only way to know what really happens in a fight is to watch very intently, in slow motion if you can. I'll bet Jones landed not more than 20% of his punches, based upon watching closely and getting it right.
James toney until this day has never gotten the credit he deserves. James Tony was literally of one of one type of boxer. The man never trained The conventional way by the way. His way of training was sparring hundreds of rounds. That man was a monster. You never seen him get hurt ever In his entire career. And he never moved around in the ring with his feet like that slight head movements a true practitioner of the Philly shell..James Tony was a BEAST!!!!! KEEP IN MIND THIS IS WHEN ROY JONES WAS IN HIS PRIME. JAMES TONY AGAINST ROY JONES IN HIS PRIME HAD ROY JONES JUST LOOKING LIKE AN AVERAGE FIGHTER. THIS WAS AN AVERAGE FIGHT
@@vernonholliday8632 don't get it wrong James , great powerful pound 4 pound champion ever and he will go into the Hall of Fame probably before Roy Jones,Roy had speed on James, that's all, they both are my great two champions 💜💜😎👑👑
Bruh I’m new to boxing and have Floyd Maywheathered myself down Mike Tyson Lane, took stops in Jack Johnonville, visited Cesar Chavez drive very briefly, stopped by the Ryan Garcia apartment complex, and the Adrian Bronner projects. There i met Tank Davis and have settled there for now. But while enjoying all of Davis’s fights i got bored and watched Roy Jones Jr. and i have fallen in love. This man’s defense and quickness was other level. Then to make that rap song and come out to Thuggish Rugged Bone in a damn suit is INSANE. I wish i was old enough to seen his and Tyson’s primes
Embarrasing when Toney raises his hand in victory at the end of the fight. A boxing masterclass for Jones. Surely Jones would be in the top 10 fighters of all time had he retired after 50 fights?
One 8f the smartest fighters ever Roy Jones Jr. Was in my opinion just one of thee best of all time, this was a stratagest when he fought the best period. I should know been watching since Ali vs. Frazer and yes my Pop's god bless him showed me the tv ropes......
Two masters of the Sport.. but Roy was just too quick and his punch output was crazy.. perfect timing everything... Roy Jones is p4p one of the greatest ever
Toney cut 18 pounds in a few days, he shouldn't have been playing shuffleboard let alone getting into a ring with an assassin like RJJ. The fact that this went the distance is a testament to the incredible talent and determination of James Toney.
That Ref really destroyed the true nature of this fight. He was breaking them up in the first 2 seconds of any clench and he must have dementia or something to being taking the 10 second clap notice for the damn bell. He should never be allowed to ref another serious fight ever again. Tony's unbeaten record surely deserved a better chance at this fight than what he was given.
This fight was a testament to how good Tony was. Prime Jones obliterated everyone he fought. While Tony lost this fight, he looked the best of any other fighter that faced Prime Jones and was one (if not the only) to not be utterly obliterated. He actually even had good moments and displayed the best defense of any other against Prime Jones. Jones was just on a different level even for him. But you see the reason in this fight that Jones named him as one of the best fighters he faced.
a laid back Saturday watching classic fights like Roy Jones and others is what I call a good day.

You can't put it any more truthfully or plainly than that.
In better shape

I'll bet Jones landed not more than 20% of his punches, based upon watching closely and getting it right.
@@MrMarco855
And whatever Roy landed was more than what Toney landex
@@Quadzilla99
But he didn't say Toney had the best offense he's ever seen.
James toney until this day has never gotten the credit he deserves. James Tony was literally of one of one type of boxer. The man never trained The conventional way by the way. His way of training was sparring hundreds of rounds. That man was a monster. You never seen him get hurt ever In his entire career. And he never moved around in the ring with his feet like that slight head movements a true practitioner of the Philly shell..James Tony was a BEAST!!!!! KEEP IN MIND THIS IS WHEN ROY JONES WAS IN HIS PRIME. JAMES TONY AGAINST ROY JONES IN HIS PRIME HAD ROY JONES JUST LOOKING LIKE AN AVERAGE FIGHTER. THIS WAS AN AVERAGE FIGHT
Interesting!
Roy been boxing so long . I never knew he's that old.
What for real ? ....
You didn't know ?
Wow ok ....
that speed is beyond insane - never seen anything like it since
Roy Jones was real good,,,James Toney had Heart
Are you serious toney was 44-0 and a champion
@@vernonholliday8632 don't get it wrong James , great powerful pound 4 pound champion ever and he will go into the Hall of Fame probably before Roy Jones,Roy had speed on James, that's all, they both are my great two champions 💜💜😎👑👑
JAMES TONEY IS A LEGEND .
These guys would kill the so called heavyweights we have today lol
Can't believe this fight was....30 years ago
Jones on this night was unbeatable. The best super middleweight ever.
sugar ray robinson best middle weight ever, Period
but yeah he would've destroyed all of the fabulous 4 on any day he definitly belongs in anybody p4p list
@@marcisarn2365 I wouldn't bet on that tbh. They would be very competitive fights either way.
I think Jones would have bested Sugar Ray. Straight face.
@@joshclearwater6461 I agree, old time fighters were good for their time but super overrated in modern tersm
Bruh I’m new to boxing and have Floyd Maywheathered myself down Mike Tyson Lane, took stops in Jack Johnonville, visited Cesar Chavez drive very briefly, stopped by the Ryan Garcia apartment complex, and the Adrian Bronner projects. There i met Tank Davis and have settled there for now.
But while enjoying all of Davis’s fights i got bored and watched Roy Jones Jr. and i have fallen in love. This man’s defense and quickness was other level. Then to make that rap song and come out to Thuggish Rugged Bone in a damn suit is INSANE.
I wish i was old enough to seen his and Tyson’s primes
I'm 35 so I only caught RJJ prime but Ill tell you man Roy and Mike won my dad A LOT OF MONEY! lol.
Watch his Olympic robbery. He was a master
Embarrasing when Toney raises his hand in victory at the end of the fight. A boxing masterclass for Jones. Surely Jones would be in the top 10 fighters of all time had he retired after 50 fights?
Toney looked surprised that he lost? Was he serious?
Roy's gotta be Top 10 all time...
Jones still, no one beat him in this prime.
Roy Jones Jr in his prime when I was a kid i remember watching boxing alot with my step dad an Roy Jones Jr was my hero he was so good in his prime
11:28 "I'm not sure who that round". I watched the rest of the fight with the volume turned off after this. Incompetent commentary.
Totally agree with you and made a comment saying basically the same thing before seeing yours.
Man, Never gets old watching RJJ's fights.
Absolutely great fight, and Roy Jones was absolutely better, like a bee
and graceful like a butterfly!
Beautiful exposition of the art.
Jones is smart he really literary giving Toney chance to hit him
Roy Jones Jr is my favorite boxer of all time 💪. 💪💪 Roy Jones Jr is beast mode to me 💪
jones in his prime pound for pound the greatest
james toney is underated boxer. he was start in boxing when he was skinny (light weight to heavy weight) and still... not so many people know him
I truly feel this fight SEVERELY affected Toneys confidence the rest of his career...
id say id did for a time up until about 2001. From then to around when he lost the 2nd fight to sam peter, toney was brilliant
One 8f the smartest fighters ever Roy Jones Jr. Was in my opinion just one of thee best of all time, this was a stratagest when he fought the best period.
I should know been watching since Ali vs. Frazer and yes my Pop's god bless him showed me the tv ropes......
Head-Banging Legends, CLASSIC!!😁😊💪💪👊👊
Love to all these great fighters given this man James toney and chance to show his style
Roy always looked bigger than his given weight.
i know hey
It’s because he’s muscular
@@chrisshanklin8190rehydrates
Jones was just so damn fast. incredible athletic abilities he had
Two masters of the Sport.. but Roy was just too quick and his punch output was crazy.. perfect timing everything... Roy Jones is p4p one of the greatest ever
Toney cut 18 pounds in a few days, he shouldn't have been playing shuffleboard let alone getting into a ring with an assassin like RJJ. The fact that this went the distance is a testament to the incredible talent and determination of James Toney.
Toneys style and headmovement though damn. He couldn’t catch Jones but he really made Jones miss
Sono un fan di toney amo il suo modo di boxare ma questo Roy Jones era troppa roba per chiunque
That Ref really destroyed the true nature of this fight. He was breaking them up in the first 2 seconds of any clench and he must have dementia or something to being taking the 10 second clap notice for the damn bell. He should never be allowed to ref another serious fight ever again. Tony's unbeaten record surely deserved a better chance at this fight than what he was given.
I agree that Steele made a Few bad judgements in interferring at the wrong times, but Roy Cleanly and Clearly(Difference) BEAT Toney!
Tueem Syhu I thought he also took away Toney's entire inside game by breaking them so quickly. Yes, Jones did great either way.
Jones didn't do enough to win the title, should have been a rematch, you gotta knock out a champion 🏆
@@vernonholliday8632
Lol, you must have poor eyesight
Yes Ring Master - great Refereeing. Thumbs up!!
Ya'll always talking about how much Mayweather runs, but this was the dude that started it.
Yeah toney ran from 160 to heavyweight and won belts in every weight class he’s been in. Runner of the century
No. Ali started it.
I was thinking if RJJ started the running.
16:45 *"You remember the left hook that James Toney got*
*A sucka move that I stole from a gamecock*
*Y'all musta forgot! ...."-- Roy Jones Jr.*
Tony is that kid who everyone said was the fastest in the neighborhood until he moved across town and met the flash
The ‘90s was a cool time to be a boxing enthusiast ❤
Roy Jones danced like a butterfly, and stung like one of them crazy, evil, gangster-ass Hornets that sting you like 50 times out of pure spite..
This fight was a testament to how good Tony was. Prime Jones obliterated everyone he fought. While Tony lost this fight, he looked the best of any other fighter that faced Prime Jones and was one (if not the only) to not be utterly obliterated. He actually even had good moments and displayed the best defense of any other against Prime Jones. Jones was just on a different level even for him. But you see the reason in this fight that Jones named him as one of the best fighters he faced.
RJJ came into BTNH Thuggish Ruggish Bone. Lights out that's my Dawg right there.
Mike Jr 94 was a great year for hip hop. Actually the whole 90's.. Toney comes in with Black Superman..Above The Law..
when roy was in his prime i dont think floyde maywether could even beat him ..he was that damn good !!!!!
