Derrick Harmon trained me in boxing when I was a kid it’s kind of insane watching this now

[@Flashboogie14]

He put up a damn good fight against a peak Roy

You from Chicago? I think derricks from Chicago

[@mikem591]

What did he saw it was like fighting Roy?

[@benlogan430]

Sometimes people forget boxing is like chess not checkers. It’s not a barroom brawl. Excellent, high skilled action here.

[@J-Do-It-Big]

"Roy Jones jr's the Bruce Lee of boxing."

[@sherrillraymond7595]

Right

[@milinddixit6583]

Derrick reminds me of Tarver - body snatcher, tall southpaw. But the difference between the Roy here and the one who fought Tarver is night and day. He was constantly moving and twitching. He shone bright but faded early.

[@seanjones8280]

Not early, should've retired after Ruiz or tarver 1

[@pleaslucian]

The 25 pound drop from heavyweight did discernible damage to his body. The exact thing I said after Roy took off his robe before the first Tarver fight was, "Roy ain't the same." Anyway, a good rule of thumb is-- Speedsters die at 35.

[@creoleDJ]

Stop with the excuses.

[@82weeks94]

Father time beat Roy Jones Jr. After winning Heavyweight Title...it was over. Dropping 25lbs muscle just speeded up the process a year or two earlier. Prime Roy Best I've Ever Seen 💯

[@stillgotyourmom]

Say that to Terence Crawford 😅​@@pleaslucian

[@PunchPerfectPlayer]

the best counterpuncher of all time and easily the fastest ever p4p

[@Chief2Moon]

ZMM Until Tarver got to him I thought Roy was unbeatable, being so quick,smart,&competent in the ring. Roy got "old quick" between the Ruiz&Tarver fights & was beaten by guys who could hardly have touched him a few years earlier.

[@PunchPerfectPlayer]

Dallas DautermanDallas the weight drain from HW in so little time did him in and not taking enough time off after Tarver KOd him ruined his chin

[@Chief2Moon]

ZMM No argument here, I agree completely

[@selemanikisalo5060]

RJJ will always be my favorite boxer.. I'll be telling my grandchildren about him and they won't give af 😂

Roy Jones has brought the SWEET in the science!

[@Chief2Moon]

JJ diddle Roy's "catlike" reflexes, speed,& athleticism (until Tarver) made him seem like Superman

[@richardnorris3202]

Roy was sweet in his prime. What I like about Roy is that he is a classy guy. Thanks Roy for being a champ in the ring as well as out of the ring. Wish you were born in the generation of Canelo and Mayweather. U would have shown the world who was the real worlds people champ. Thx Champ for carrying the torch of old school boxing legends

[@nightryder16]

8:12 omg I couldn't even see that uppercut! Insane speed Roy had.

[@chrismale9976]

Prime Roy was sublime!!! Smokes anybody in history p4p

[@michaeloverton2437]

Anyone noticed that Winky Wright was on his phone the whole time sitting behind Traver was was so focus studying RJJ? I can’t recall Jones going to watch anyone he wanted to fight before

[@davonbenson4361]

At 14:32, this is how you know that Roy’s punch resistance was a lot better in his prime. An older Jones would’ve have gotten knocked out.

[@sherrillraymond7595]

His body and mind was a lot stronger in his prime

He anticipated the punch. It’s the punches you don’t see that’ll KO you

the word 'BUM' on Harmon's shorts explains how "awesome" Roy was 😆😝😂

[@n2eman192]

I bet he'd starch you when he's 60 when you were in your prime. Reality.

[@SA77888]

One of the greatest champions of our time. Not even a heavyweight but stepped up to that division to take on a former champion of that division.........and bet him........with ease. Would have loved a showdown with Evander Holyfield. RJJ would just have been too skilled and too fast for Tyson, but Holyfields courage and determination would have given RJJ a good fight. RJJ is one of those fighters that has to be set aside from all the other competion........like we do with Mayweather..........in a special league of his own

[@willjack3713]

Yes well said Roy is cut from the same cloth as sugar ray Robinson

You are suggesting that RJJ beats Tyson because he was too quick for him , are you for real , Tyson had the power to end the guys Career , seriously , considering the very decent but lesser Class , Lou Delvalle could floor him , and the light hitting Glen Johnson , who wasn't known for Power , Ko,ed him , God only knows how he'd have fared V Tyson , especially if he was even 60% . In their Exhibition fight just recently , they fought 8 2 minute Rds , wearing 12 Ounce Gloves , may as well being wearing pillows on their fists , and Tyson still caused him serious problems especially with the body shots . Your not the only Jones fan who thinks he could have beaten Tyson , there's plenty of others and many even think he could have out-pointed Lennox Lewis , a guy who could come in comfortably at 250lbs , had one of the longest reaches in the game and arguably , the best jabs that done serious damage , never mind any of his other shots , he had enough power to Ko Jones with these alone . I would never slag off any Boxer brave enough to step in a Ring and I most certainly wouldn't call anyone a bum or anything like that but John Ruiz is not up there as a Great HW Champion , he was levels below Tyson and Lewis that's for sure , amongst many , many others .

Leonard seemed quicker at welter, Jones may have been faster at middle. Wonder how quick roy would have been if he was born smaller? Leonard vs Jones at light middle or catchweight? roy or ray vs GGG?

[@CharlesHitmanStone]

Mark Ant Golovkin can barely handle Jacobs speed and Canelos power had Golovkin honest Roy is light years faster than Jacobs and has more explosive power than Canelo. Mix that with foot speed, cat like reflexes, and the size Jones got. It’s not a contest.

No version of Jones whooped Tarver ever , he got lucky in their first fight then Tarver whooped him , just as Liles and Mc Clellan , amongst others would have had Jones fought them as Professionals . Both Mc Clellan and Liles whooped him in the Amateurs .
