I watched him since Olympics ..which means I'm old as dirt..but he was one of the greatest....no debating that..
That was the worst robbery i've ever seen in my life
He can’t be touched
Imagine trying to make yourself sound older than you actually are to sound wise. Old ass colonist

In his prime there was no one better. Best ever in my eyes.
💯
I agree👍🏾
prime Mike Tyson is far better.
Real talk
@Yellow Joe negative! PRIME Roy Jones Jr. is the most advanced boxer to this date. Just was never meant to be a heavyweight. He maxes his body out. That's why he said he would never advise anyone to do that again. This man transcended like 4-5 weight classes. The body ain't meant to be manipulated that way. It can only take so much. He was really legit 50-0 technically
absolutely the greatest physical specimen to ever lace em up, in terms of speed reflexes and power, never seen any fighter over 160lbs that was as fast as roy, his performaces at 160-168 were godlike, respect to one of the absolute G.O.A.T.s RJJ
He even STILL LOOKS athletic asl...looks like he's about to do a sprint,leaping dunk, or leaping left hook at any moment 🤣
ALI 🥊
He also went up so many weightclasses and did extremely well no matter the opponent:
Thank you. 100% accurate summation. Roy was pure talent. Never fundamentally or technically sound but he was the most naturally gifted boxer whos ever lived
Agreed, his hand speed was phenomenal
He just said the most important thing in boxing that coaches don't even tell you. The guy controlling the distance by moving back and around the opponent is the one dictating when exchanges happen or don't
You guys are right. This is the movement I implement for defense when I spar. If you use your feet to control the distance then you ultimately end up controlling the outcome of the fight. This I also learned from my Jeet kune do footwork training in the 90's
This is why tank destroyed Garcia.
@@Wong-Jack-Man Tank walked Ryan into a punch just like Rolly. Two overeager fighters who didn’t fight smart. Ryan could stay on the outside, jab, and win a decision. Instead he wanted to walk into Tank’s trap. Sad.
@@scraw3👍🇦🇺
Facts! No coach every told me this and I’ve been boxing almost 20 years. Never heard a trainer mention that, but it’s key.
I love that these gents were so quiet and polite. They knew they were getting gems and took notes.
Oh yea ?
@Apzz22 do you know who Roy Jones Jr is? They were in the presence of greatness and let him cook.
Lol no shit. Wtf else were they supposed to do? It's rjj...
@@ibbyr any way they wanted but chose respect and attentiveness. Hell, they could have been a Paul brother about it.
He’s talking to the wrong kids here, he needs to tell the hungry kids about this stuff. Luckily it’s on TH-cam.
Jack Johnson became the first black Heavyweight Champion by using his back leg as defense.
Damn, whoever can combine a Bruce Lee with an Muhammad Ali, is a mf *GOAT!💥🔥🐐*
How About Lee With Mike Tyson
Bruce learned from watching Ali
Yeah, that's a dangerous combo for sure.
Sugar Ray Leonard was better than Roy be honest
Bruce lee🔥🔥🔥
This is why I run from all my opponents; still undefeated 'til this day! 💪🏾!!!
Bro 😂😂😂
Lol
😂
More Mo Farah than Anthony Joshua lol
The funniest comment this year😅😅😅😅
This was an absolute gem!!!!! One of the BEST to ever do it, watching Roy in his prime was just a thing of beauty! Damn he was great!
Have you ever noticed the most gifted and successful athletes of their respective sport never become great trainers/coaches/managers? Many times, you can't teach what comes naturally to a gifted athlete to the masses, which is why there's the GOATS, and then there's everyone else...
They are doers not teachers.
I agree
That's what makes this video even more special - Roy Jones Jr. is one of the best ever and explains everything so well
True but when he wanted to get away fast Roy, Ali, and Sugar Ray, all move the front foot first to move backwards. Thats physics. but he is correct about small steps going backwards.
@@georgeejones6581 nope you move the back foot first when moving back and the front foot first when moving forward. But in moving the back foot back you are of course pushing the floor with thr front foot. Backwards running is amazing training for such, especially using the hip flexors.
Wondering if they know how truly great this man was?
Never understood how RJJ could get away with his leaping left hook / right hand. He was an absolute freak of nature in his prime, never seen better
You did not see Mayweather Jnr ?!
@@dappadondadda100 You're a casual. Roy Jones is the freakiest boxing athlete to ever exist
@OC Web Design & Dev ... nah, you are the casual... Sonny Liston and Ali were bigger "freaks" than RJJ.
@@dappadondadda100 No they weren't lmaooo. Roy Jones' style is more cartoonish and further from textbook than Ali or Liston, get out of here.
@@dappadondadda100 😂
What a legend. even Andre Ward says you need LEGS in boxing. If you don’t have legs you’re as good as dead in there.
Легенда 😂
Amateur superwelter '88 Olympics finalist...from middle to heavyweight world champion as a pro.
I remember him climbing the ring with 6/7 belts to defend.
Legend.
Legend, plain and simple 👍👊🏿
Word.he's right. And if you can punch out of that you get some of Roy Jones's highlights. Real punchers will punch through your guard up top. Look at all of Mike Tyson's victims. . Your hands can be up there but some guys knock you out through your own hands. But if you can slip in counter even big punchers can't find you to hit. And every time they try they get touched up.
Lol funny enough, around year 3 of my 19 year boxing journey. I learned what Roy mentioned here by playing 2D fighting games. There’s typically a dash forward and backwards In games like street fighter and even tekken. I used to use that a lot to create openings after opponents attacks. I thought to myself “ I wonder if this would work in the ring” and the rest was history.
😁Even that little irky jerky feint like motion @ 0:46, you can tell Roy was quick like lightening back in the day. Still quick for his age.
One of my all time favorite fighters !!
A real privilege to have superman RJJ in your gym giving you tips 💪🏽🥊
Idk, they're ALL defense to me. Moving the feet, slipping, bobbing & weaving, feints, changing angles.
Also isn't it easier to turn defense into offense (counter-punch) by slipping & bobbing vs back pedalling?
Back pedalling gets u out of range, but then u also can't reach your opponent. 🤷🏾♂️
Shit like this is proof that he wasn't just a freak athlete like everyone loves to claim. RJJ is one of the greatest sweet scientists of all time, he knows the mechanics and concepts of boxing better than almost anyone alive
I remember 21 years ago begging my grandmum to let me eneter her bedroom at 5am (Polish time zone) on the weekend and let me watch and record Roy's fight on vhs so I can have some materials to studdy boxing. Internet through modems was fu***g expansive back then.
All the best to everyone!🙂
These guys are too busy thinking what they’ve already learned is it, they don’t really understand what he’s saying. Some of them might even think he’s old and that they know better. It’s a great boxing lecture though 👊
Roy Jones, Jr gives his tips on defense. Tip 1: be the fastest man alive inside the ring
Imagine him being your uncle, he would teach you how to get down!
Roy Jones Jr. The most talented boxer to ever exist. Did a lot of things your boxing coach told you never to do but he got away with it and sometimes even knocked out his opponents because of it. Guy was a freak of nature in his prime.
Even now, the way he moves @0:50 is otherworldly, like it's sped up footage... These lads are in the presence of a true great and it shows.
Funny enough boxing and basketball defence watching your opponents waist line you see everything.
NOTED. back foot defence over hand defence 👍🏼
I'm never gonna be able do a hand stand for 12 rounds! Crazy philosophy lol
@@csjs74 Handstand? Ain’t nobody said nothin bout a handstand my guy lol
It was a combination of sarcasm and just daft comedy, some not so bright people trying the block punch's with their feet.
Could become a thing especially if they misinterpreted a legend like Roy
@@csjs74 you don’t block punches with your feet. you move your feet to get out of range
They all look shocked just seeing him in real life tbh.
I was thinking Bruce Lee as Roy was teaching then he mentioned Bruce Lee 🐉 dammm. Real Fighters can see other Real Fighters
exactly
One of my favorite people right there. When you can talk about others being great and share what you learned. Thats a legend 4u..😊
Hope these kids recognize they’ve been blessed by a living legend. This is something to tell to the grandkids. They’ll say grandpa is senile and lying and order you to take a nap. But you got the videotape for posterity’s sake. Roy Jones, Jr, one of the greatest of all time. ✊🏾✊🏾✊🏾✊🏾
I really miss watching Roy box. He was the most exciting fighter to watch in the ring.
Roy Jones fundamentals is garbage. he was just a sick crazy amazing athlete. when his speed went away, he started getting KO'd all the time. Roy is no position to be a trainer.
Taking defensive tips from RJJ could be bad for your health
Hmm, I'm not sure if Roy is much of a coach. Great fighters rarely are. It's the ones who left the ring with their goals unachieved that make the best coaches. A smart fighter whose career was cut short due to injury is perfect.
Wait a minute. Isn't this the announcer on one of the Creed movies? Why is he giving fighting advice?Yall trippin.
I love you Roy but I don't know that defense was your strong suit. But that punishment was something else.
Hasn't roy got knocked out in like his last 10 fights🤦♂️
Uhm, defense was never Jones' Jr's thing.. he was supremely gifted as an athlete, his defense was his biggest flaw and it showed when he began to age and lose that athletic ability
English people are like “Anyone understand him?” Lol
Hey Roy you can't block punches with your feet and legs
Didn't he get knocked out like 6 times?😂
Bum😊
If I'm getting into boxing & he's talking I'm damn sure gonna listen
No one beat Roy jones jr but himself he accomplished so much not just in one weight class but multiple. Crowned king in multiple weights just shoulda of retired but his love for the sport kept him in it and no one including Roy is going to avoid Father Time. Truly a wonder to see this man fight
So the defense is in the legs, not the arms, but they do support you.
The greatest offensive fighter ever!
With that being said, I'd never take defensive tips from him 😂😂😂
You reckon he's the greatest offensive fighter?
I would have said SRR or Sam Langford.
@@dappadondadda100 no one on earth could generate a 12-13 punch combination like Roy in his prime!
They are all in a trance as they get a boxing lesson from a boxing Legend
I’m his prime one of the best ever! And absolute legend
Jones is soo smart. Learning from anyone who he can. Top mind.
Boxing is all about footwork, ironically.
Great tip but only the very best can use their feet that quickly
FACTS 💯 Footwork is the key to everything in boxing. Floyd Mayweather defense is questionable because he never fought anyone of the best in their PRIME or at all. That Philly shell can be broken by angles and stepping to your left and evading your opponent's right side with straight punches knocking them off balance or down out the Philly shell.
With all do respect,have you just started watching boxing,a year or two ago. Floyd didn't fight anyone in their prime. Just say you don't like the man, or you're more of an MMA/UFC fan Sheeeesh the nonsense
His right BUT the thing is,not everyone has roy Jones jnr and nassem hammed reflexes! The average fighter needs his hands up because their feet are not faster than a punch.
He still quick 😅
Sugar Ray Leonard and Mayweather mastered that step back defense. Shakur Stevenson is now mastering this defense as well. Gives you time to gauge and measure your opponent's movement and offense👍🏾
Es muy inteligente Roy
Roy Was Amazing!!!🥊🤩💪🏾
So from what I picked up you build your whole defense around your rear foot, your rear foot is what you base all your movement from
Thx for uploading this 💎
This is like Michael Jordan trying to teach people how to jump. His talent was just out of this world 🌎
Go take a nap Roy
I hope they picked up what the Legend was putting down!!!!!!!!!!!
He is a great fighter, but probably not a great coach. Everyone he trains seems to lose.
For sure, he is teaching people his best defence. If he wants to train someone well, it would be tailored to the individual, there is very little one size fits all advice.
"Y'all musta Forgot"!
Didn't help him vs Tarver
But it can't be because the people in the comments say Bruce Lee couldn't fight 😭😭😂😂
J'espère qu'il sont conscients des conseils précieux qu'il reçoive de la part de Mr Roy Jones junior.. la légende
Them boys don’t even begin to understand the knowledge this man has
Them was good students 👏🏾
RJ Jr. 🐐 🥊💯
GREAT JEWELS DROP!! wish I could see the whole view look like only buddy in the black bubble jac was soaking it in!!
he and Holyfield are the most technical heavyweights that I ever seen in my life !
Father time and going up and cutting weight too fast is the only reason Roy started losing. He no longer had his those reflexes in his legs and hips that he used to have. Its the reason he started to get knocked out by everyone.
Funny how pro fighters keep giving props to Bruce Lee while TH-cam armchair experts are always dissing him and calling him an actor. Nobody is even asking Roy about Lee, he just randomly brings him up while teaching young upcoming boxers about defense.
Huh. You know...yeah... outstanding! 🤯 I never really looked at it that way. I'm new af to boxing though.
Roy Jones is such a cool guy
Thats the kind of defense Marvin Cook talks about. Also hes says youre slipping, ducking leaning, your body is still there. Dont be there.
Roy Jones Jr was 1 of the greatest. He just loved Boxing more than himself & hence why He refused 2retire. His Ego got the Best of him. We all thought we were gonna Live Forever at 1pt in time or another and then along comes Antonio Tarver.
The same rules apply to basketball players with great ball handling ability.
It’s not the hand or foot speed that make them hard to guard it’s their mastery of footwork.
In essence, Champ is speaking on the mastery of the basics and fundamentals of boxing defense, but it applies to any sport.
Roy Jones Jr. Is The G.O.A.T And One Of The BEST FIGHTERS EVER! Hands Down! 👍🏾🥊
I ain't taking defensive tips from RJJ. He routinely left his guard down and it caught up to him.
"NO NO NO NO DEFENCE IS THIS"
Except Jones didn't have sound defence. He had cat like reflexes and only fundamentals. Which is why his career had no longevity, compared to Mayweather, Hopkins, etc.
Jones relied too much on his speed, reflexes, power and flash, instead of SOLID boxing skills. So he got starched as he both got older and kept moving around in weight, and his athleticism naturally deteriorated, because skills pay bills and raw natural athleticism can only carry you for that long.
The better defence is upper body movement, feet movement, both and knowing when to use which.
Yes and I find it weird him teaching boxing when he didn't need to use boxing fully as he had that much talent to not need it in a lot of cases.
His cat like reflexes was his defense that's what he's teaching except most boxes will never have those reflexes.
@@streetfashiontv9149 Yeah true
@@streetfashiontv9149 I didn't say he had no defense, I said he had no SOUND (as in good/solid) defense PRECISELY because he relied on athleticism over actual skill.
And which is precisely why he got fucked up so badly as his career went on, whereas others were winning titles and whooping ass well into their 40s...
Non boxers : "Boxing is a violent and stupid sport."
Boxers : "√2(x-5) = good defense"
That shit was DOPE n they was LISTENING u can tell
Roy dropping gems
The young Roy Jones Jr 🥊 peekaboo wasn't no joke and if you played the same game you will lose because that Roy Jones Jr was trying to hurt you and he did.
Defense is not being square on the ropes 🤦🏾♂️. Why Roy why!?
FACTS FROM THE GREATEST!
Always a pleasure listening to Roy Jr....
Tips on defense 🤔 Roy never had great defense. He never had to because his offense was so good !
He banked on his speed advantage
@@dennisrobinson8008 lost his speed and started being exposed . Roy was overrated . His technical and fundamental skill, especially on the defensive side was ass
@@tzyyon Possibly. He never got his confidence back after be went up in weight and came back down.
@@dennisrobinson8008 I admit that probably drained him but that doesn't take away from his lack of technical boxing skill . He was just overrated
Roy fought at his own pace and rhythm and you couldn’t rush him. That’s what great defense does.
Love u ROY THAAAANK U BRO I SAID THE SAAAME SH!@#$T CHAMP WAAAOW THANK U FOOTWORKZ
Roy will find way to hurt u even just by steppn back Mayweather 2
I hope Roy doesn’t spar/Box ever again. I want him to age as well as he possibly can
He was a freak at his best that cant be taught...and no mentions of well joe calzaghe blah blah...lol...i said at his best...
Roy Jones talking to NPCs.
In all fairness id be silently staring and listening to him as well.
I wish I could hear this one better. Back foot is defense?
What if Tarver walked in like: "maaan stfu!"
He's telling us how to keep from getting knocked out, at the same time telling us how he got knocked out.
