You know how much I love Roy Jones Jr. From 1988 to the John Ruiz fight he had the fastest hands in boxing I have ever witnessed. I've been watching boxing since 1986 and have watched many classic fights of the greatest fighters of all time. Fastest hands easy. Including Mayweather, Ali, Leonard, Pacquiao, Calderon, Mosley, Robinson (even though he's the greatest), all of them.
He brought Jordan brand to boxing! That in itself is an accomplishment. I thought in the end he put on too much weight and lost some of that hand speed that made him a force. He was the definition of "swagger"!!!
Definitely! Just watch the video, guys try and match him in the "throw my hands up and shake my head" maneuver and then he pops them in the face! It's not his fault he didn't have an appropriate foil to have his Ali/Frazier moment.
