Roy ain’t lying. He was a highlight reel offensively, but you can’t deny Floyd’s defensive capabilities. These are all great fighters in there own respect.
Yes But ALLOT Of Floyd's Defense Was Clinching. Roy's Defense Was Better. When He Was Prime. Still The ONLY Fighter To Go A FULL Round Without Being Touched. Not HIT. TOUCHED
@@JayYo21 You're a damn fool if you think that any PED, steroids, etc., contributed to his success. You must've been born in the late 80s or 90s. I'll definitely wait on your response.

Roy is a more skilled and athletic fighter either and would have literally got in the ring and BEAT both, yes, that shit ali got away with, pulling straight back and all that, gets him hurt
I actually pretty much agree with you that those are the 3 Most Gifted Boxers of All Time, but I actually have Roy at #2 over Ali, with serious consideration of making him #1 over Sugar Ray Robinson. I think both SRR & RJJ go ahead of Ali, due to the Power Difference for their Weight Classes. At their best weights they packed much more Pop then Ali did at Heavyweight. That's not a Knock against "The Greatest" as he had solid power and was Unbelievable, but both Roy and Sugar was literally knocking guys into the Shadow Realms in their Primes at both Welterweight (SRR) and Middleweight (RJJ & SRR), and Super Middleweight (RJJ). In fairness for Ali, you could easily say he had The Greatest Chin of All Time to even things up. But those are my three Most Gifted Boxers of All Time.
For the ones who reads this just know this is only the beginning keep pushing, grinding, and fighting. Whatever it is in life you want to do to go after it life is to short. Life is a marathon not a sprint so go out there and live it up I hope all is well and goes well for you peace and one love.🙏🏽
Thats how all the all time greats are. Not only gifted but spend more time crafting their skill than anyone. Jordan, Jerry Rice, Kobe, Roy Jones, Carl Lewis, etc
Jerry Rice cheated using illegal stickum to catch the football so he is a fraud. Roy Jones failed for anabolic steroids in 2001 so he is a fraud. Carl Lewis had tons of steroid allegations on him over his career like a lot of track stars. Next time pick better athletes!!
@@JayYo21 why are you posting this under multiple comments? We get it, you're getting off on hating on a legend... he had one test that rings the alarm bell. It's idiotic to say he was on steroids his whole career
I was happy to see a performance enhancing drugs cheater knocked out. I was also happy that a hype job got knocked out by a big underdog. The excuses from fangimps for both losses are still comical.
@@jeffreywilson2346 it still is a discussion about boxing. All he did was show you the proper use of a word 🙄 grow up, I’m sure you’re way too old not to know the difference between there and their
Hear me out y’all, I don’t think necessarily it’s jealousy. It’s knowing the type of work and sacrifices you made to get you the success you have or had. I know myself personally would feel some type of way if I grinded like no other, to be placed it at any position other than #1. You don’t train and fight to be #2. Now objectively speaking, of course, Mayweather had a better career overall. Undefeated, 5 division champion, beat everyone in his era that mattered, and had a virtually perfect style. But prime for prime, Roy was like no other. I simply think it’s just the shock and disgust at how Roy was so revered in the 90s and early 2000s. This man was IT. He was awesome, the look, the personality, the athletic ability, the Boxing IQ. Then tag on the Sponsorships, deals, movie appearances, music, and being the only fighter to go from Middleweight to Heavyweight and then come back down and RE-Capture the Light Heavyweight belts. Roy wasn’t just a fighter, he was a sensation. Perhaps we won’t know this feeling unless we’re in his shoes or at his age (speaking for myself, I’m only 25), but it’s one of those things where you were so big at one point for over a decade, and 2 losses instantly change that, and overtime the same general public that you were once a household name for, forgets what you were. It’s sad really.
If Roy retired after beating heavyweight Ruiz, EVERYONE would've said he's the best ever!!!! Three rules of ANY game is: 1. Know how to play. 2. Know the rules. 3. Know when to retire. #blessings #legendary
RJJ had the gift and the curse. His style cant be emulated it was a combinatiom of his god gifted athleticism and his skills that made him unbeatable during his prime. So he has a right to feel the way he does he wants full credit
@@jeffreywilson2346 Roy wasn't the same after he moved to heavyweight, the moved back to light heavyweight. Even though he won the first Tarver fight, he didn't look right even before the fight began.
Roy ain't lieing but to keep it a buck he should mention Toney was severely depleted for their fight. Which is really no excuse for Toney as he is a professional fighter but it definitely impacted his performance.
Both fighters got arguments for being better than each other. Personally I’m taking Roy in his prime over floyd but I think floyd was overall the greater fighter. All a matter of opinions really
Roy was my favorite fighter still think in his prime nobody beats him but to answer the question he said floyd went into the hall of fame with three fighters he beat Shane marquez and cotto
That's what's up talk your shit Roy. U earned this and much respect. Salute to 1 of the greatest of all times. MY FAVORITE FIGHTER when I was a younger. 1luv Roy and God bless
Why is Roy Always throwing shade at Floyd? It's gotta be jealousy. Roy fought four Hall of Famers in his entire career & NONE of his other opponents will get any consideration to make it. He passed up on fighting three or four other Hall of Famers from his weight class when he & they were still active & it would've been a great fight. Floyd fought 11 sure fire Hall of Famers (Likely more than any other fighter in history of the sport. Another record?). Only Ali & Larry Holmes might come close, but I doubt they have more than 8 or 9 each), Two others, Genarro Hernandez & Diego Corralles, should already be in there, but for some reason they're not, & three others will get lots of consideration but might not make it in. Also, I personally rewatch more of Floyd Mayweather's & James Toney's complete fighsts & highlights & only one of Roy's. The Hopkins & Toney fights were impressive wins, but not a good rewatch. Roy has great highlights, but you'd have to go to the archives to figure out who the opponents were. He's talking about Montell Griffin like he was a real champion. After Floyd's 16th fight (whom fought over a 15 month period, basically once a month, & once two fights in one month. Another record?), you'll know all of his opponents, except maybe one. And if you look at Floyd's last 16 fights, that list alone is incredible.
Bhop got his w back tho it wasn't even a fight honestly. Roy was great no lie tho. Respectfully I'll never diss RJ but Floyd did arguably have a better career. Just saying I absolutely love Roy but if they talking ppv numbers, belts, who you fought...it's Floyd no diss all love. Nobody misses a Floyd fight and but argureably I'd it's the 90's Roy was probably the better showman. Roy got Koed a lot tho and eventually got retired by boxing vs blurring the line on what retirement is for a boxer that is Floyd. Floyd took less damage was more accurate and was the biggest name in boxing and even 6 years after his retirement still is the PPV King and yet there are more spectacular younger fighters now.
After Tarver put the lights out, Roy was never the same. The Superman persona went away. Nobody can explain Roy’s style, he’s the only one that can pull it off. Sergio Martinez had something similar fighting with his hands down, but not totally the same results.
@@jonmolina948 Agreed. But what we didn't know back in Roy's prime was that, he couldn't take a punch. Outside of Hopkins and Toney, his resume is suspect. He beat a lot of taxi drivers and firemen. But Roy and Floyd fans think more of them than I do. Roy handspeed/reflexes were special but I know he would've lost to quite a few ATG's who his fanboys rank him over.
@@xonnathagreat7644 I remember Lou Del Valle, Puerto Rican dude, knocked him down. I don’t remember exactly how it happened. I’ll have to look at it again. But nobody expected that from Del Valle. Whenever Roy was knocked out cold, he never saw it coming. He was sometimes too bold and careless. He got away with it for a decade.
He didn't go on far to long. He should have never jumped up to heavyweight and then came back down to light heavy after. Once he was there he should have stayed there because he had to lose all that muscle to get back down to light heavy and it most likely messed up his chin.
Wish he would’ve retired after the first tarver fight or get the Mike Tyson fight he wanted at that time then retire after that. Tarver knocking him out in their second fight completely derailed the Superman image everyone had of Jones.
Floyd sat in front of all those All time greats and told them he was the best😂😂😂Roy definitely had that sitting in his chest.....Salute to both All time Greats🥊
I personally rewashed more Floyd fights than Roy fights. All of Roy's highlights came of not top ten fighters. How many Hall of Famers did Roy Jones beat compared to Floyd Mayweather? Roy fought three Hall of Famers & two were there on the stage also & Mike McCallum was 40 or 41 years old when they fought. He didn't fight three other Hall of Famers that were around the same time he came up. Three of Floyd's victims were on the Hall of Fame stage with him (Mosley, Cotto & Marquez). Floyd fought every champion & Hall of Famer from his era & the best guys from the previous era & the current era. 12-15 of Floyd's opponents will be in the HoF. Roy might have four total. Floyd's 49th fight was against a top 3 contender & former 2x world champion. What did Roy do in his 50th fight? Floyd ran out of competition by his 50th fight. Danny Garcia & Keith Thurman were the undefeated champs when Floyd came out of retirement for his 50th fight. Was he supposed to take their belts instead of making $300 mil to fight McGregor? Roy tried & is still trying to fight MMA guys to make a few bucks, but he hasn't been able to make the deals that Floyd made. Why do they all compare themselves & their accomplishments to Floyd Mayweather's? The answer is because Floyd accomplished more.
Roy was supposed to have been in the Hall of Fame ⚖️👑⚖️ but better late then never and he still has his thinking capability him James (lights out) Toni and Bernard (the executioner) Hopkins these guys are some of the best and definitely the best of their area 🥊🎯⚔️🎯🥊
You can still be God-gifted and work hard to have the gifts revealed. I know where Roy is coming from where it can appear as a slight and dismissing his hard work by saying he's the most gifted fighter. But to me it's not a slight or dismissing. His hard work and dedication allowed those gifts to be shared with all of us. To me Roy is the best fighter I've ever seen from the Olympics all the way till he retired. There will never be another Roy Jones Jr.
Roy is totally right. Mayweather fights Mcgregor 0-0 record. Fights Berto as his last professional boxer. There is more to measuring greatness than just records and a 0 in the loss column. It's also how did you do it? How dominant were you? How exciting were you? Y'all must've forgot!!
I love Roy Jones Jr. & he was no doubt a beast but his resume isn't on the same level as Mayweather's.💯 He beat 3 big name guys in James Toney, Benard Hopkins and Felix Trinidad. You could add Vinny Pazienza if you want but compare that to Mayweather's list it's not even fair.💯✌
Roy is jealous of Floyd, this was a shot at Floyd and it's always been a shot at Floyd. Smh! Brother you were one of the all time greats you went to heavyweight and some believe you cheated to get there but only God knows. You came back down and got knocked out 2x. BUT you ROY JONES ARE A ALL TIME GREAT!! be grateful that you still have your brain and can speak to the people without pausing becuase you forgot be grateful you are able to teach others the pure science. There will never be another Roy Jones Jr...
Hear me out y’all, I don’t think necessarily it’s jealousy. It’s knowing the type of work and sacrifices you made to get you the success you have or had. I know myself personally would feel some type of way if I grinded like no other, to be placed it at any position other than #1. You don’t train and fight to be #2.

@@Daniel-yj1fb I love Roy but saying floyd was a “runner” is delusional. You can’t be a runner and land that many punches Lol. And I would prefer to watch a Chisora fight than let’s say a Devin Haney fight. Doesn’t mean Chisora is a greater fighter. Boxing is about winning not entertaining I came to this conclusion years ago
Without going into the details, this by far is the whole concept of what it takes to be great. To be willing to put in the work to be great, GOD gives us the ability but we must put in the work to be great. Roy Jones is a true Champion giving credit to other greats that made him great. Not many are that humble. Only the true Champions carry the power of words.

He didn't fight three other Hall of Famers that were around the same time he came up. Three of Floyd's victims were on the Hall of Fame stage with him (Mosley, Cotto & Marquez). Floyd fought every champion & Hall of Famer from his era & the best guys from the previous era & the current era. 12-15 of Floyd's opponents will be in the HoF. Roy might have four total. Floyd's 49th fight was against a top 3 contender & former 2x world champion. What did Roy do in his 50th fight? Floyd ran out of competition by his 50th fight. Danny Garcia & Keith Thurman were the undefeated champs when Floyd came out of retirement for his 50th fight. Was he supposed to take their belts instead of making $300 mil to fight McGregor? Roy tried & is still trying to fight MMA guys to make a few bucks, but he hasn't been able to make the deals that Floyd made. Why do they all compare themselves & their accomplishments to Floyd Mayweather's? The answer is because Floyd accomplished more.
Roys resume sucks cuz his chin was Glass and he knew it.
He does make a point he was really entertaining
1988 Olympic Gold medalist, Roy was the truth.
Roy was supposed to have been in the
Hall of Fame ⚖️👑⚖️
but better late then never and he still has his thinking capability
him James (lights out) Toni and
Bernard (the executioner) Hopkins these guys are some of the best and definitely the best of their area 🥊🎯⚔️🎯🥊
Roy speaking facts about them highlights ....
The only thing is you can also pull up highlights of him being knocked silly. Salute to Champ though.
Always will be in my opinion. P4p goat. I hear p4p. Automatically thinking Roy Jones Jr.
You can still be God-gifted and work hard to have the gifts revealed. I know where Roy is coming from where it can appear as a slight and dismissing his hard work by saying he's the most gifted fighter. But to me it's not a slight or dismissing. His hard work and dedication allowed those gifts to be shared with all of us. To me Roy is the best fighter I've ever seen from the Olympics all the way till he retired. There will never be another Roy Jones Jr.
Hell yeah much Roy from 🇲🇽🇲🇽🇲🇽🇲🇽🇲🇽
All around boxer Floyd, and he made it look easy as well. I enjoyed watching both but, pure boxer/ skill I give to Floyd.
If you look at Roy's arms, his left bicep is noticeably larger than than the right. They call him "Captain Hook" for a reason.🥊
Yep, just like Rafa Nadal and mister wonderful Paul orndorff
He ain’t lying
Roy Jones hating on Floyd again? SMH I love Roy but he gotta chill😆
He not hating he stating facts
I literally saw him do a rap concert then go and beat a guy up the same night, lol
A bum
Roy is totally right. Mayweather fights Mcgregor 0-0 record. Fights Berto as his last professional boxer. There is more to measuring greatness than just records and a 0 in the loss column. It's also how did you do it? How dominant were you? How exciting were you? Y'all must've forgot!!
You pulled 2 fights out of 50 fights the fuck outta here
It don't matter who the fk Floyd fought at the end of his career, still can't take away from the many he beat before. Goat
Berto is a two time champ at welterweight. Stop mentioning at him like he's a bum.
@@deuce2316 Not a hall of famer...just saying. Not trying to diss Berto but I have to put things in proper context without sugar-coating it.
@@michelleclark181 Not!
bless up Roy making it plan for the people..
He’s not wrong hard work hard work hard work
And Roids
Talk that shit Roy!!!!
Toney was letargic due to extreme weight cut. He barely train , but that's not Roys problem.
The great Roy Jones Jr
I love Roy Jones Jr. & he was no doubt a beast but his resume isn't on the same level as Mayweather's.💯
He beat 3 big name guys in James Toney, Benard Hopkins and Felix Trinidad. You could add Vinny Pazienza if you want but compare that to Mayweather's list it's not even fair.💯✌
Not even close. Roy resume is ass
The best I ever saw
Wasn’t in the gym more then Floyd
Prime Jones Jr is untouchable
If you spend the majority of your career fighting no hopers of course you’ll have the most highlights
Wish we saw him fight McClellan, Eubank, Benn or even Collins
@@brandonb3174 right
Roy my guy but he wasn’t in the gym more than Floyd
Roy is jealous of Floyd, this was a shot at Floyd and it's always been a shot at Floyd. Smh! Brother you were one of the all time greats you went to heavyweight and some believe you cheated to get there but only God knows. You came back down and got knocked out 2x. BUT you ROY JONES ARE A ALL TIME GREAT!! be grateful that you still have your brain and can speak to the people without pausing becuase you forgot be grateful you are able to teach others the pure science. There will never be another Roy Jones Jr...
don't compare that runner to Jones Jr. the man is just speaking the truth! He gave more to fans than Floyd
Hear me out y’all, I don’t think necessarily it’s jealousy. It’s knowing the type of work and sacrifices you made to get you the success you have or had. I know myself personally would feel some type of way if I grinded like no other, to be placed it at any position other than #1. You don’t train and fight to be #2.
Now objectively speaking, of course, Mayweather had a better career overall. Undefeated, 5 division champion, beat everyone in his era that mattered, and had a virtually perfect style. But prime for prime, Roy was like no other.
I simply think it’s just the shock and disgust at how Roy was so revered in the 90s and early 2000s. This man was IT. He was awesome, the look, the personality, the athletic ability, the Boxing IQ. Then tag on the Sponsorships, deals, movie appearances, music, and being the only fighter to go from Middleweight to Heavyweight and then come back down and RE-Capture the Light Heavyweight belts.
Roy wasn’t just a fighter, he was a sensation. Perhaps we won’t know this feeling unless we’re in his shoes or at his age (speaking for myself, I’m only 25), but it’s one of those things where you were so big at one point for over a decade, and 2 losses instantly change that, and overtime the same general public that you were once a household name for, forgets what you were.
Not jealousy, it's just being competitive.
@@Daniel-yj1fb I love Roy but saying floyd was a “runner” is delusional. You can’t be a runner and land that many punches Lol. And I would prefer to watch a Chisora fight than let’s say a Devin Haney fight. Doesn’t mean Chisora is a greater fighter. Boxing is about winning not entertaining I came to this conclusion years ago
@@columbo5376 he was a bunch of other things, clincher, dirty fighter, etc boring overall
No boxers had greater highlights than him and Tyson
Mayweather fought 16 $tright champions. Talk about how you got KNOCKED out 🤣
Most of those were all mediocre champions some shouldn’t even have been champions Floyd chose who he fought picked his opponents very carefully
And steroids
Tell em bro lol
talk about how Floyd lost to Castillo I... shit got quite
Without going into the details, this by far is the whole concept of what it takes to be great. To be willing to put in the work to be great, GOD gives us the ability but we must put in the work to be great. Roy Jones is a true Champion giving credit to other greats that made him great. Not many are that humble. Only the true Champions carry the power of words.
Talk yo ish Roy💯. I’d take a prime Roy, Bernard, or Toney over any middle weight contender or champ today.
