He defended his title's and won. And was making 10s of millions while being the #1 draw in his sport.
He dominated who ever he faced in the last 10 years. Lol
:hmm:

These last 10-15 years have been rough for Roy and to somebody born in the early or mid 90's Roy Jones is this dude:

It's a shame because Roy Jones was probably one of if not the most Athletically gifted Boxers in the history of modern boxing. In fact, he was so good he never really learned how to fight. Calling this man Unorthodox is just scratching the surface. Often it felt as if you were watching a video game. In fact, I could swear I saw him Dragon Punch a dude in the ring. Unfortunately, we all get old. Couple that with infrequent fighting and it is the perfect recipe for what happened to Roy Jones Jr. If Roy had been a better Fundamental fighter then his later career would have been a lot better. With his speed gone his poor footwork and low hands often left him vulnerable.

Philly bias...Roy didnt duck Hopkins...if I remember correctly Hopkins wanted an even purse split which he didnt deserve at the time
Any excuse not to step in that ring :lol:

Then when they did fight again they were both close to being washed and it was a snooze fest
