When NYPD Officer Challenged Roy Jones Jr

BLTV Highlights the forgotten clash between active duty NYPD Police officer, Richard Frazier, and the pound for pound best fighter in the world, Roy Jones Jr. An unprecedented match up that was somehow sanctioned for two world championship belts

The real issue with this bout, and a lot of championship bouts, is that champions are forced to defend their titles against "mandatory challengers" who are absolutely unworthy of that distinction. Each sanctioning body ostensibly requires a 'mandatory' defense on an annual basis, but 8 times out of 10 the "mandatory challenger" is a guy who's not even close to providing a competitive match.

I remember this well. Roy was my guy and i didn't miss a fight. HBO always did a phenomenal job of doing a background preview, showing the training and hyping the fight between the undercard fights. Frazier had a cool story and it made you think he was gonna bring it. He however did not and Roy literally made it look like they pulled the guy out of the crowd 10 minutes before the fight. It was one of the biggest mismatches I've ever seen on HBO.

[@tampajep]

In his prime Jones was amazing. I remember the first time I saw him fight I called a friend and told him "You have to see this guy! He's so awkward and his hands are so fast, he reminds me of Sugar Ray Robinson!" That's high praise because Sugar is arguably the greatest fighter of all time. I love watching Roy Jones fight! He's one of a kind. It may be years before we see someone else with that kind of talent.

Even though he's twelve years older than me , we still played on the same Team and kept in touch all these years.

I used to play basketball with him once or twice a month about 15 years ago. He was ALWAYS nice and generous with any kids that wanted to take a picture, get an autograph, ask him a question, etc. He didn't act stuck up or anything. He came in like one of the guys, hooped with us, never asked for special treatment.
