Roy Jones was a freak of nature. Making heads bob like a funko pop. 1 of a kind very special talent.

[@melvintate8186]

Man it's so beautiful watching Roy Jones box!!

[@michaelwightman4358]

Johnson fought with Heart and Wisdom against a Prime Jones..

[@thecontainerthecontents6889]

stephan absorbed a lot of bombs this fight without much reaction, quite amazing considering how fast RJJ put away so many later opponents with far less volume landed.

[@user-ii8xp6ds1g]

That's my cousin Stephan ! He was a warrior

[@sherrillraymond7595]

Roy Jones Jr the Sugar Ray Robinson of the 90's

[@76WestSports]

I said the same thing but was shot down quickly. Glad you see it the same way.

“Never knocked me down Roy,”

[@jarredlewis8951]

I wish someone would put together a video of all the commentators comments during the bouts over the years and how wrong they where about the boxers. I hate their comments most of the time. Talking about the boxers family, money, decisions in and out of the ring mocking them not giving them the credit they deserve etc

[@user-ii8xp6ds1g]

Respect!

[@taylorweeze4942]

Boi they use to hate on Jones

[@mattgalloway589]

Roys a beast...

[@brghostsniper]

Oh my God this second round is the most beautiful display of boxing I've seen in so long!!!! Damn he the greatest of all time Ali 2.0

[@seandafny]

Commentators talking about jones not punching to the body, whole time Jones lands a couple of solid hooks to the body every round off the other guys jab

[@javaidakhtar4544]

right? he even got a combination of rapid uppercuts to the body whilst in a clinch

[@sherrillraymond7595]

That hook was killin that boy

[@PutumaGqamana]

I was shaking my head each time. The left hook to the body was included in most combos that Jones put together.

[@rakim6466]

He looked so much like a young Cassius Clay before he became Muhammed Ali

Facts

[@seandafny]

23:07 😂😂😂😂😂 now look at this. that hook to the body changed that boy whole demeanor. He was rushing in guns blazin the whole round before that. After that hook landed u can see on his face he was a changed man. He was became super hesitant to come back in lol

[@seandafny]

Made that boy get on his toes again lol. “Now he’s going back outside i guess he didn’t like it inside,” 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@seandafny]

23:11 look he stands there for a good 2 seconds asking himself if he shud go back in or not. Then he start bouncin on his toes again like naaaaah im good im stayin out here at range lmao

[@seandafny]

SuperSonics Return 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 poor kid. He’s in there with young Roy Jones and doesnt know it haha

[@hailongkhong7826]

[@seandafny]

@@hailongkhong7826 i didnt kno that. Look i respect everybody who gets up outta bed but u cant tell me thats not funny lol. He goes on the inside to trade with young Roy Jones and quickly realizes he’s facing a legend, and gets right back on his tippy toes after 1 body shot. Thats not funny? lol cmon man

it would have been great to see prime, roy versus prime Hagler.

[@Elaine-hg3nn]

I like Hagler but a focus prime jones out points Hagler in my opinion

[@76WestSports]

@@Elaine-hg3nn I got Hagler winning easily. Jones had problems with South Paws. Frankie Lyles and Tarver right?

[@danielnunez-dc2sb]

Roy jones jr demolished Stephan Johnson but Johnson ain’t no slouch and he proved at the time he could take a lot of damage and still fight back

[@user-ii8xp6ds1g]

That's my cousin! Respect

[@dagrimmreepa]

Stephen Johnson will die 10 years later from a bad KO against Paul Vaden (a former champ) in the 10th round of a vacant title bout. Well, two weeks after that fight, technically, but he never woke up. He was winning on the scorecards, and the pay was 10k. Vaden would fight once more, losing a decision - and his title - in a listless performance, before retiring.

[@jasonmardoniomeza1711]

Wow. RIP Stephen Johnson. Very good fighter.

[@user-ii8xp6ds1g]

What's your point 10k?

[@eddieeclark314]

pre mature stoppage

[@unlimitedredux8367]

Lol no it wasn't, man was getting whooped for 8 rounds. Good heart on Stephan Johnson tho

[@christophergreen3538]

Hahahaha love seeing this early RJJ. Ol' boy didn't like seeing that young kid feelin his oats 😂

[@user-ii8xp6ds1g]

That young kid is Stephan Johnson! Respect ! My cousin

[@southpawrighthook6205]

I wish Roy would have fought this way his whole career. In the pocket letting his hands go and his power show.

[@sportcoatjoditv7148]

SouthPaw RightHook Roy went 49-0 before he lost !!!!!!

[@SIickTurtIe]

You see the same thing with a young Floyd. I think a lot of it has to do with them moving up in weight. Harder to sit down against bigger dudes, and the natural mechanics of their punching changed as they added more muscle mass to their arms and frame. They just look a lot more snappy when they’re younger and leaner.

[@FightScienceAa82]

@@sportcoatjoditv7148 they disqualified Jones and gave him a loss after he tko’d Griffen. Let’s be clear he has over 50 wins no losses and that was at fight everyone, whenever. He could have played in one weight class and never lost. He move up and down and took every risk available to him
