Did any fighter ever look more spectacular than Roy Jones Jr?

[beautyistruth]

So many boxers have looked extraordinary sensational spectacular in action but Roy Jones Jr. was a different level. It was most ridiculously evident Roy Jones Jr was on a different echelon when he boxed the ears off James Toney and made him look like a $800 sparring partner. And James Toney proved to be one of the greatest p4p fighters of all time. But he had nothing for Roy, NOTHING. (Toney did not want that rematch) Roy eventually hit the wall and lost his edges in speed, power, timing and when it happened he was ordinary. But PEAK PRIME Roy was from another planet man. Highlights link in the interview.

Honorable mention for fighters that were phenomenal sensation, jaw dropping marvels: Tyson. Ali. Leonard. Duran. Paquiao. Hearns at 147. Inoue. Robinson. Dempsey. Valero.

Not for me. Not for any period of time like RJJ.

I've seen guys look great on a night. I've seen guys look great on offense, defense or ring IQ-wise specifically for awhile. I've never seen a guy who looked great overall for as long as I've seen RJJ do it.

That I can recall, for a long while no one ever looked as spectacular as Jones, or as unbeatable. Why though? The boys will turn up soon enough with PED accusations. I don't know for sure so I just answer your question.

he was a great fighter who also had great match making.

note I said he was a great fighter.

you combine the 2, great fighter and great matchmaking and you get an unbeatable looking fighter.

Jones edged Hopkins, who wasn’t ready for Jones at that point in his career, what most people don’t know, this fight was actually quite close, with hopkins turning it up late. Jones had the commentating in the bag and the flash to sell the win. Which perhaps he edged, but the fact is Hopkins really deserved a rematch.

with Toney, probably Jones greatest victory - we still gotta mention Toney was killing himself to make the weight. This fight Toney struggled to find Jones, but make no Mistake, Jones seriously struggled to hit Toney. Once again, commentating in the bag for Jones. Had Toney been in good shape the version a few years back, it could have been a different fight.

Roy was so spectacular he can't even say the word right:

I don't recall Hopkins demanding an immediate rematch, though he did years later and it was RJ who seemed to not want it. Why would Toney not be in shape vs Roy? Or did he fabricate that as his chief excuse for the bad loss?
