First how did he get so big. Second how come his jab was so much faster than it had been at LHW, and three why does he get all the talent. I mean he looked as quick as Mayweather at 199 pounds. I don’t see how anyone can’t see him being the best fighter ever. He was so fast, so strong, and yes skilled that I can’t see how anyone would beat him p4p.
I take it you haven’t seen the documentary ‘The Sweet Science’ about how it all lead up to the fight with Ruiz.
Check your PM’s. 
My guess was steroids for that fight, but thanks.
CC bro! I WAS THERE that night at the thomas and mack center! could u imagine how i felt that night???
Who knows really.
But you can’t say cause nore you or I were there, it’s all speculations as far as I’m concerned.
well according to RJJ he never hit the weights ever througout his career until he went up to HW to fight john ruiz thats how he put on so much size etc. i believe it cuz i stopped touching the weights like a year and 1/2 ago and i completely leaned out im hella LEEEEEEEEEEEEEAN son, b4 i was like more so mass from weight lifting but once u cut weights out your body completely leans out. so if u do the reverse like he did it will have a profound effect on your size like his
But how did he maintain his stamina, speed, etc.? He is my favourite fighter ever, but there are things that don’t add up, like the pimples on his back.
Anyways people always had problems with RJJ because he could fight unconventionally and still beat all the best guys. That is the reason they say he had no technique when in fact he threw alot of his punches very well, and with his whole body behind them while other people couldn’t do anything even close to him.
RJJ is just well discplined athlete with remarkable natural/hard worked talent. he even pulled the first tarver win by the same means while most other boxers would either be gasssed out, he dug deep for the win.
bro ive seen RJJ fight live in person 4 times and when you see him put combos together live in person your like WTF???
dude just by the sound he makes while throwing punches you actually hear the air like LOUD as he lands combos with such speed and precision.
Incredible feat by an incredible boxer. Peopel tend to downplay it because it was against John Ruiz, who no one likes. But what no one will admit is that Ruiz is a good fighter and was certainly no pushover, and Roy Jones made it look easy.
Roy was fast that night against Ruiz but he looked faster because Ruiz is slow i think Roy should have stayed at heavy for a few defences it was a massive mistake coming back down to lightheavy it took to much out of his body and he was never the same again
Roy Jones vs Byrd would of been good tactical fight but i think Jones would of been to small against most hws like Lewis ect but yea your right he could of fought Byrd Holyfield and Tua wouldn’t of been bad to make defenses against them guys.
If he did’nt get caught he could beat Wlad at the time with his speed he could have tired Wlad out and beat him UD12
Not so sure about that im not big fan of Wlad but 6 ’ 6 ½ who is around 240 vs a Natural Middleweight who is 5 foot 11 and is over 40 pounds lighter i don’t think he could Wlad is way too big for him and Jones would feel power of the big man and remember Jones was 193 pounds vs Ruiz.
I don’t think ROy would like the power of the big men very much. I think he should have fought Holyfield or Tyson and retired.
I think as long as he did’nt get caught he would beat him because Wlads stamina was’nt great in 2003 when roy was champ and even now Wlads best win recently is his ko of Byrd a small man he had already beat.If Roy had fought him it would have been a massive risk but a great win if he won
I havent seen that dude!
If anybody has video of the the Jones ruiz fight i would be very greatful if they could send it to me. I’ve been dying to see that fight again.
