How does Prime RJJ fare vs Usyk?
Let’s say it’s at 205 lbs.

My AI like brain detects the bait here.
These aren’t MMA weight classes B.
Roy never fought at 205 in his heyday. Even when he met Ruiz.
Jones officially weighed in at 193 lb (88 kg) and Ruiz at 226 lb (103 kg). Jones became the first former middleweight title holder to win a Heavyweight title in 106 years. Put that in perspective.

Usyk is a beast, and out of respect for him and my bromance with Barry, I give him the nod at HW.
Roy was too small for Cruiser/HW… he’s a damn blown up MW, but he was so fucking good in his prime he dusts any fighter in existence up to LHW (which is 175 lbs in boxing).
Usyk fought between Cruiser and HW so he’s a much bigger man. Apples and oranges.

I’ve been re watching jones fights and he doesn’t eye poke. Jones utilizes a bladed position when exiting striking exchanges. As a boxer would. You dont do this technique with a closed fist, that would create tension in your upper body and cause you to be stiff as you slide away from your opponent. Jones opponents move in towards him as he slides away and what happens sometimes is they run face first into his fingers. The “eye pokes” are usually an unfortunate result of open fingered gloves.

From like 38 seconds to 2 minutes is some cold shit. When he’s talking about his father

There is a chapter in this book called “Guns and Fathers” that covers Jones’ and Toney’s relationships with their fathers.

This shit was recorded right by the house we lived in when I was born, and right by my aunt’s
House. She saw Roy outside one day and asked for an autograph, he ran inside and got two of his rap posters and signed them for her. I used to have them somewhere.
I remember we were behind a dude with a built nitrous Sentra racing Roy and his friends on their bikes down Fairfield right by the sheriff’s office back in the early 2000’s. They all used to go tear ass on their bikes and the cops would let them go.

I don’t believe this fight was ever recorded and it happened when they were fookin 13 which is WAY before I was born but all accounts I’ve read say Roy.
The two met as in a 13-year old division bout during the 1982 Sunshine State Games in Gainesville with Jones earning the gold medal over Tarver. Both advanced their resumes as Olympic medalists as Jones won a silver medal in 1988 and Tarver captured bronze in 1996
We know that Silver Roy captured in the Olympics is one of the biggest highway robberies in combat sports history.
Jon’s boxing sucks.
hth
Jon is a Jack of all trades master of mma.
He’s got a nice jab that compliments the rest of his arsenal. He will go down as the best fighter to ever live. Jon’s short run at heavyweight will look flawless when Gane beats Aspinall for the title.
I absolutely agree. In his prime he had some serious setups that blasted fools. So fun to watch
