Roy Jones Jr. reveals why Mayweather is the best; feels Pacquiao and Khan may cause him trouble

[@solowizard9888]

The last thing a Mayweather Hater wants to hear is a highly credible person like Roy Jones tell you the truth.

[@Resarchaic]

What truth is that?

[@recinese]

Garner R Buckley III watch the video

[@Ryan-qq9qe]

Garner R Buckley III Dumb ass question.

[@JamesDixonDontSleep]

Roy Jones, still one of the best to do it! Humble but still knows he was that dude in his days!

[@maggiemolly111]

There are people who will never give Floyd credit because they don't know shit about boxing. He could go 100-0 and people would say, "He was afraid to fight BLANK and BLANKETY BLANK would have beat him." You may not like his personality or his money might make people nervous but he is without question ONE of the GREATEST of ALL TIME. That is not my opinion it is simply a fact.

[@dudemanbro1000]

Chris ask Roy to make more music... Can't be touched and yall must've forgot are two of the best workout songs of all time.

[@NeshaDaKidKid]

Amazing interview. My favorite boxer and one of the greatest Roy Jones Jr. speaking on my second favorite and another great fighter Floyd Mayweather. Chris next time speak with him about some of his (Roy Jones) favorite and memorable fights.

[@H1GHD3FF]

Great interview

[@HustleBoss]

Appreciate it..

[@Noname-lk2ol]

nigga why don't u just pull that cap an inch further down and tuck your damn lips into it too.

[@rdbetta]

Love for Roy allways

[@Swervmunna]

My favorite boxer of all time right here

[@pugilist102]

Roy Jones was simply the most naturally gifted fighter I've ever seen. His speed and reflexes were unparalleled. Even with his 'sloppy' style and poor technique, he was practically untouchable in his prime. Once his speed and reflexes dulled a bit, well, we've seen the results.

[@mickee06]

pugilist102 I wish he would have fought better opponents

[@SHAKADUZIT]

Roy one of the BEST boxers in the world is speaking the truth simple as that Floyd is one of the best fuck ALLLLL the haters who have stupid shit to say against Floyd and Roy.

Roy Jones had the best offense of all times...!

[@jaydublis]

Roy best offense, Floyd best defense

James Willingham word!

[@kovarbasich80]

Unbias Sports sorry but but Joe calzaghe best offense he shut rot down and took a forearm to the face from Roy and kept on punishing him Joe also undefeated called the legend killer took left lacy world from him and proved to Bernard Hopkins that a white guy could beat him

[@415bayshark]

Kirk Kovarbasich cmon man that was an old Roy. Many fighters make name off beating old greats

[@J.C.117]

Kirk Kovarbasich Joe didn't beat anyone great because there wasn't anyone great in his weight class

[@Cloud69100]

[@barneydoherty9821]

roy is fucking cool! great boxing brain! has to be one of the most gifted boxers of all time! rjj matrix!

[@Daprince823]

Good clip Chris!

[@Real_conscious]

great interview, great answers.

[@Rahim.ali80]

I can listen to Roy n Paulie talk boxing all day afternoon n night. listening to them talk boxing u will come out that room a boxing scholar

[@noprisonerstaken]

Roy is on the money when it comes to talking about the fight game. He knows his stuff. He made some good remarks about Amir Khan. Amir gets knocked out when he slugs. When he boxes it's a different story. Floyd "is the best" out there right now but a couple of fighters can most definitely give him problems in the ring. It will be interesting to see who he picks for his final two fights!

[@leenojohnson]

WTF....He's not broke. that's the cabin house he has in Pensacola. One of his three houses...He's worth 40 million

[@DRWRITER08]

What did Roy say at 3:29? He brought a what or two?

[@PoloCortes]

He borrowed a check-hook or two (punch that knocked out hatton)

[@blain147]

Polo Cortes Roy is a very funny guy but he does tell truth, Mayweather check-hooked a couple boxers; Hatton was one of them lol; Mayweather can adapt to his opponents extremly well which makes him amazing and very dangerous.

[@blain147]

He said Mayweather borrowed a check-hook or two from him which he did; u see what happened 2 Hatton. That was a check-hook in motion lol.

[@jshine2live34]

roy jones is definitely in the top 5 best ever. one of the most completely boxers next to robby

[@rsuriyop9723]

Like Roy said, Khan is at his best when he actually boxes. Where I disagree with him is when he thinks that that style will give Floyd trouble. The reality is that Floyd CHOOSES to fight boxers because he knows that he can always outbox them (part of the reason why I think he chooses to fight Khan). A very good pressure fighter who is good at cutting off the ring and will come out at you with bulldog-like aggression is what will give Floyd the most trouble.

[@kenneanjoseph2191]

you were correct until you said very good pressure fighters there isn't any of them at 140-154. Unless floyd fights a middle weight. The question I ask everyone is how many fighters at 140-154 is more skill than floyd, more skilled,not have a style. Styles makes fights but dont win fights, skills does.

[@linkqJ]

everytime I look at him I feel like he about to freestyle, no disrespect, Roy a legend. where my Method Man fans at ? no one ? aight *self high-five*

[@mordekaiswai953]

Skills boxer. Genius boxer FLOYD MAYWEATHER

[@callumbrowns]

I see it like this , money only has 4 fights , so for me da best out there would be khan , manny , ortiz 2 , Bradley ?

[@nathancook8048]

hay..Ortiz 2 would be cool .. that fight made Floyd look like the evil karate master in the movie. he gotta fight Manny already .....

[@mrkeogh1442]

Roy Jones Jr and Anthony Joshua are my two favourite boxer's of all time. Love from UK.

[@throughjesus2008]

Roy jones is # 2 greatest of all times to me under Floyd, when he was at his best he was THE best Roy is underrated Roy could've probably beat Tyson and Ali at heavy weight...Roy jones vs Mayweather would have been interesting But I believe with Floyds conditioning and ability to adapt Floyd would have pulled it off.

[@Raiderfred]

Dude don't ever disrespect Ali and Tyson saying roy could beat either one of them ali would school him and tyson would knock his ass out

[@CherubRock311]

Who's camp was this shot at? At 2:00 isn't that Memo Heredia the steriod pusher? Hope not but sure looks like him.

[@StormCentre88]

I love listening to Jones talk about boxing.

[@jonping4772]

is roy jones getting evicted or something?

[@Osealey]

Instead of cracking jokes and trying to be obnoxious, read the video description.

[@cygnusprime6728]

"Former world champion Roy Jones gets evicted while calmly giving an interview about the current state of boxing. Reflects on his next move". LMAO you're an idiot lol. I literally had tears in my eyes. Haven't laughed that hard in months.

[@haroldshubert5251]

Roy said last year he was the best money wise only now he's changing what he said wonder why

[@Abdi-libaax]

my two fav boxers roy jones and mayweather.

[@hcasolrac]

Roy Jones, is a great commentator and a ring genius, he should train fighters, he will most likely have a stable of champions!

[@megasif]

This video is misleading. The title says this and that...but the keyword is today. And I've said this that Roy Jones Jr. is the best fighter in the world. Put him in his prime and at Mayweather's weight, Money can't touch the dude. The dude is so good he keeps his hands down. He's so good he beats another top level fighter with one hand. Tell me one person Mayweather did that too...Floyd admits he's not fast in those All Access videos......The thing about Jones is that he is defeated by age and weight.

[@crazeebandit1]

Floyd knew Kahn was a problem for him stylistically so he avoided it even though Kahn called out Floyd numerous times.

[@chrisjackson8299]

Stop it

[@ThunderFan1017]

keepin it Rizzy.....

[@chayilel9804]

I can't gauge Floyd's true skill and prominence until he fights a Pacman or Paul Williams or Lara or Martinez or Bradley etc... He easily out classes guys who are over the hill, too young, or too inept in skill. And he should. But what makes fighters great are great fights, great match-ups, great overcoming of adversity in the ring. So far all I have for Mayweather is him vs. Corrales...

[@2072-i5r]

Ok now can you "gauge" Floyd's true skill? He did exactly what you asked.

[@MrCman60]

Love Floyd but he could even hurt Roy at his weight class.Given Roy speed and Power at his prime Floyd even knows that stupid.

[@SPRINGS02]

roy is much bigger so that's not really a fair fight, doesn't even makes sense. Roy was a natural middleweight while floyd started at super light weight.

[@greendogg83]

Jones always talks sense.

[@TboneTenEighties]

Ima go watch me some prime Jones Jr fights.

[@yamamotoolongtea]

Roy jones is on the money when he says khan the boxer would give Floyd troubles and not khan the slugger . Everyone who doubts khan should go watch him in the amateurs. His style would have beat Floyd 3/5 times. He was very slick fast and in and out . He would out point top opponents on a land slide . If we see that khan who doesn't commit to 4 to 6 combinations and moves in and out at angles he has a realistic chance to win. If khan over commits he will get countered and get floored. Of course he won't get ko"d cuz Mayweather counters are more arm punches rather and he never put his whole body weight into the punch because he is very defensively minded .

[@priscillawhite3010]

That 3/5 times made your whole comment go down the drain.

[@otroe1]

Ya' Musta Fo'GoT.!.

[@carltonjohnson5969]

LOL Roy Jones would say that considering he lived on god given speed and when the speed was gone so was his dominance of the world of boxing. Pacquiao and Khan and similar to Jones because both use their god given talents to out weigh their lack technical skills such as defense, basic footwork etc. The only way Floyd loses is by a one punch KO or old age.

[@PoloCortes]

I disagree brotha, Roy had speed & skills, when he drained himself to fight from heavy to welter, that's when his career took a nose dive. Yes he slowed down, but had he stay at light heavyweight, it wouldn't of mattered because of his superb speed & skills at that weight...

[@carltonjohnson5969]

VanMedia if Paquiaos footwork is so great how did he get knocked out by JMM? Face down on the ground.

[@jamesallen505]

Carlton Johnson People dont mention how he had to drop 25 pounds, and some fighters age quicker than others. Roy Jones was smart, have you heard him in commentary? he says so many knowledgeable things. You dont not get hit like Roy Jones if your not smart, first fighter to never get hit with a single punch in combubox history. Guys like Khan and Pacquiao are fast but they always get hit. Gary Russell JR has lightning speed, What happened to him against Lomchenko? you cant be carried by speed.

[@darthclone7]

man.. roy jones beat someone like floyd. james toney!! it was like floyd vs. zab... but roy jones had the gas and ofcourse more speed. i cant believe some ppl would compare roy jones speed to floyd. i mean floyds jabs are nice but jones would have landed 3 left hooks with that same intensity. floyd has to focus on doing the right things. roy only has to let go dont matter if its wrong his speef will make it right.. that is how fast he is

[@bryonwatkins1432]

Floyd would have lost to Tsyu, Winky Wright, and DEFINATELY Vernon Forest without a doubt.

[@bigomar777]

roy jones jr said it right floyd took some of him but floyd never gave him credits never

[@cget]

Their primes overlapped. It sucks that Roy and his camp didn't want to fight Floyd. I don't think his name was big enough

[@KingJachai]

Stephen Pamphile Roy is almost 10 years older than Floyd and is naturally 4 weight classes heavier than Floyd. That’d be like Roy at middleweight trying to fight Lennox Lewis.

[@bryonwatkins1432]

My God. When I see people criticizing those fir bad sentence structure, thats a sign of low self-esteem when the reader knows what the other is saying. I've always thought that, that was funny.

[@bertelliish]

He was a beast

[@Hail4Rell]

Floy wants to reach the the end of his $300million contract which was 6 fights... he wouldn't dare fight such risky fighters so early.... until the last two... Khan second to last... and he'll lose to Pacquiao last... an shock the whole world... lol except me..

[@jonpittman58]

Also I wanted to is this, Floyd is a great boxer but he might be a better business man. I believe he fights more with Mexican fighter's is because the Mexican community is the biggest boxing fans in the world and if someone did the studies I bet the biggest ppv #s are coming from that community. Second I think Floyd beats AK because he ( AK) has lost before and Floyd can easily take from that and have a great game plan. Were as AK can't with Floyd. Floyd has that advantage with anyone. Plus best defense in boxing. If Roy ( my favorite boxer of all time) would have had a better defense, and given J.Tony a rematch at that weight, then retired or made a match with a big name HW, put some $$ in his pockets. Should have never lost 25 pounds of muscle to go fight a guy that had all to win and Roy all to lose. Made no sense to me. He lost alot of speed and stamina when he lost that (muscle) weight. Just my rant sorry

[@BoyDanny93]

When i saw the Mayweather vs Pacquiao fight, i didn't see Floyd was in any type of trouble. Khan, this guy definitely has one of the fastest hands in Boxing, but it didn't help him well against Canelo when he got KTFO!!!!!!! Amir Khan and Roy Jones are very similar, they both have fast hands, but they have bad defense, that's why they easily can get expose

[@bruhmannn1321]

BoyDanny93 very shit analysis on Roy.. watch him vs Bryant brannnon.. Roy's defense was good af he had fights where dudes wouldn't land a punch in rounds

[@phantomelmisj]

Mayweather vs khan would be an awesome fight BECAUSE khan is a fast starter and he don't care. Look at the Danny vs khan he knew Danny would dust his chin but he kept picking and prowling until he got ko'd so my odds are on khan

[@Paydro92]

your saying khan will beat mayweather.

[@phantomelmisj]

Yea he has a glass chin but also mayweather is not a puncher and mayweather hasnt kod anyone in a real long time.

[@hardcorecentauri]

Thats whats up

[@boxinggodcom]

really don't think khan cld cause any problems 4 mayweather, Floyd way 2 clever.

[@digg773]

I think that gatti fight floyd beat the shit outta gatti.....rip gatti.

[@audiman2201]

I think Mayweather is the best Pound for Pound fighter no doubt. His style is boring, and he in only fight maybe 1 or 2 fights a year. I think to bring boxing back to it's heights again it should be mandatory for title holders to fight minimum 3 times a year. I remember in the 80's, top fighter were doing 3-4 fights a year. The emphasis now is money over entertainment and giving what the fans want.

[@coachkev7276]

He's talking about keith thurman.. He would give money problems fo real

[@jonpittman58]

My guess is Floyd will finish his last 2 fights with Mexican fighters or Mexican style fighters. To much risk to fight A.K. and Manny won't take a drug test. ( go look at the last Marques fight and look at how big both were) why would Floyd be afraid of Manny if he dominated the guy Manny lost at least on some true boxing fans minds twice. Floyd is awesome. Best in the world at his weight class, but come on the best fight right now is AK. Give us something worth our money Floyd.. PLEASE

[@Dantedijon]

*+Brang San* you obviously dony know shit about boxing, manny struggled with marquez, floyd dominated all 12 rounds

[@ahgoodm]

Khan was a good match up problem.

[@chrisjackson8299]

To who

[@Orcen222]

Marvelous Marvin Hagler would have knocked out Mayweather. Thomas Hearns would have used his reach and chopping Right Straight to out box Mayweather. Sugar Ray Robinson would have dominated Mayweather.

[@PREMODOGMATIC]

Hearns' reach didn't make a difference against Sugar Ray Leonard. I'm a Hagler fan, but he has to land those heavy blows to make an impact. He lot to superior technical skills at the hands of Leonard as well.

[@Orcen222]

PREMODOGMATIC Mayweather isnt as fast on his legs as Leonard was. Hagler was past his prime when he fought Leonard, it was his last fight.

[@PREMODOGMATIC]

You may have a point as far as speed goes. I still thin Mayweather is pretty hard to hit though. Even against the ropes. It would be better if we could actually see such a fight. More entertaining too.

[@Orcen222]

PREMODOGMATIC Leonard was a better boxer and had better speed, atleast on his legs. But Mayweather is as you say harder to hit, and thats because Mayweather is very elusive and one of the best defensive boxers of all time. He reminds me of Jack Johnson in many ways. It would have been amazing to see prime Leonard vs Floyd but sadly they were born decades apart.

[@angelpalacios9616]

I have thought the same regarding Hagler. Not sure about Hearns. Considering what the virtuoso, Robinson, did in his time (in terms of technical artistry) I feel if he were to transport to this era and have the same info and resources that boxers have today, then he'd surely win. However, if Mayweather traveled back in time to that era (with his current knowledge and skills), Mayweather would likely win... However, his style of fighting would garner some serious boos from the crowd.

[@MaxPr1me969]

I tell you what, that's all Mayweather fights is flatfooted fighters. I'd be surprise if he chooses to fight Khan! I think he'll stick to the game plan and fight another flatfooted fighter(Maidana). He'd get worked if he fought Khan. His only chance is if he catches him.

[@dumbyplays6290]

Wow

[@iarmani28a]

Roy jones good👍

[@noneyou5176jaycobsunmickeytina]

Real shit Roy jones jr would of beaten mayweather back in the days

[@Orcen222]

Floyd Mayweather Jr is a defensive genious that likes to trap his opponents and counter punch and land weak strings of punches to score points and win by SD or UD. Floyd is not a perfect fighter and he is NOT the greatest of all time, but he is probably the most talented boxer of his era and ONE of the best boxers ever, probably Top 50 ever.

[@JahleelX-xx9wd]

My thing is, I don't understand why boxers go in the ring with a game plan against Floyd when he picks u apart, he takes what u do and uses it against u. He adjusts. So I really don't understand why would one go in there with a game plan.

[@tomchuur6431]

You are so wrong, he hits hard asf. Look at his knockout rating until he broke his hand. It's very high

[@paradoxlord13]

how can Khan give Floyd trouble but he did'nt give danny trouble

[@paradoxlord13]

but Khan has no chin a couple good right hands from floyd and he's done

[@paradoxlord13]

thats the same thing they said about Ricky hatton and what happen

[@RichCwm]

He bust Danny up for 2 rounds then had his head knocked off.. So yeah, he did give Danny some trouble.

[@boxinggodcom]

good job bud.

[@WattUNeed]

+Hustle Boss Roy definitely influenced Floyd especially earlier on..in fact I remember thinking Floyd was a mini Roy in his approach, the leaping left hook, the check hook......even the way he KO'ed opponents earlier in his career. So I agree. Things Mayweather does that you don't see every day, doubling up and trippling up the lead right. Leonnox Lewis commented on that in his fight against Zab Judah. I saw a left jab to the liver off a pivot against Pacquiao which you don't see every day. Straight right to the liver against Sharmba Mitchell, you don't see those kinds of shots every day. I seen Mayweather lead with an uppercut, a right hook an overhand right a looping right, leaping left hook, spear jab and left uppercut...that you used to see in times past but not in the way he does it off a feint. Just so flashy and the timing keeps you from countering.

[@Noname-lk2ol]

lol Jones tooled Toney, how many times do u want him to do it?

[@konic40]

more than once,lets say twice. so late now tho , I guess he ran completely away already

[@konic40]

its been years he's been ducking toney . it is documented how severe the weigh cut was at the time of the match so RJJ destroyed a weakened toney. if he hadnt ducked him the rematch would have been better

[@konic40]

you need to read my previous comments. he is a ducker just like...go look it up Wally wallster, guy had to take laxatives to make weight. if you watch previous fight up to then fot toney you can see his speed and snap wasnt there. RRJ fought a toney that wasnt 100%.
