Roy Jones in his prime was a top 5 boxer of all time imo fastest ever
He was the Jordan of boxing
At his absolute peak, I'd agree he was number one anywhere from 160 to 175.
Roy was right. As soon as round 6 started, was the start of the end for conor. You put him on round 6, he's on mars!! LOL he was right?
zohs1ck I can not tell you how many times Roy Jones has predicted strategy and outcomes during telecasts. He does what Romo is doing in football now as an announcer, but Roy has been behind the mic since the late 90s, I believe.
Well said Roy Jones Jr
*So true about what Max said about Floyd and Roy in their primes. No contest Roy P4P best ever in his prime.*
Roy got knocked down in his prime whereas no one has even touched Floyd Prime or not therefore Floyd is TBE on those grounds .
Max knows Boxing and he said it how it is. It's cool that you are a floyd fan but your opinion is sadly wrong. Watch Roy's career in prime up to when he heavyweight title.
Desmond King roy prime ended before he fought heavy weight. You are clueless about this man. Roy would have pimp slapped mayweather. Roy was 49-1 and the 1 loss he knocked out Montel and was ruled a dq. Roys prime years were in the middle weight divisions with a couple of light heavyweight fights.
Full agree with Casey. Some people just don't know the history.
You are clueless bro . Just because Roy prolly had a greater offense doesn't mean he breaks the Mayvinci code . That code cannot be cracked it's easier breaking into Ft Knox.
Now google Roy Jones knock down , don't be lazy
And moving up to heavy weight wasn't even a factor because it happened way before . Like I said if a bum like that knocks down Roy then Floyd is TBE period.
cant be touched cant be stoped cant be mooooved cant be rocked
Alonzo Harris oh we are commenting songs now ok, I'm a Barbie girl, in a Barbie world.
LOL he proved all that shit wrong nigga
Alonzo Harris lmao the song from jones highlight video right ??
@@QthAgR8 Jones sang the actual song himself
Could you imagine if Roy Jones jr. Was still in his prime and was fighting at 160 and fought Conor McGregor good God that would just be a murder on television
Imagine if prime Roy jumped in the octagon, LMAO NOW THAT WOULD BE MURDER ON TELEVISION
@@BruhMoment-si9wm He would kill mcgregor in mma in his prime also yall must of forgot
@George Byrne haha roy jones jnr is the best fighter out there period he would tear mc gregor apart did you see what justin did to him? and you think he beats roy
He would completely dominate him and it would probably be over in round 4
Play the full videos! Not everybody has a chance to see it live! Alot of us would greatly appreciate it
I'm looking for someone that said he bet over $1,000 on McLoser and it seems he has deleted his comment.
They All Disappeared or they Said “He won The First 3 rounds” 😂😂😂
Funny how the Floyd vs Connor played out exactly like Roy said
Man I just noticed this .... Connor litterally started to brake down in round 6
Actually it didn't. Conor did much better than Roy predicted. Roy was right about Conor's lack of endurance but he definitely underestimated Conor's boxing skills.
Listen at 2:40 mark, summed up what happened perfectly. GOAT talk
Love Roy. Always so articulate & knowledgeable, and Kellerman so bright to direct the questions to him. Very entertaining. Thanks for the post mate.
2:50 That’s prophetic
Molly looks so mad every time a guest comes on and says Coner has no chance of winning 😂
that bitch been hating.
She is finna hell
She is fine as 🍷
Molly started off working for the UFC on fox way in the beginning so she understand the sport a lot more than these guys
50-0
We all know you guys can't get jarule... He has the answers
Where is Ja?
Roy Jones Jr.. Ladies and Gentleman!!! The Best in History of Boxing!!! thx 4the memories
Damn Roy is a boxing prophet man he said "you get em past round 5 and you know he's in trouble , he hears round 6 and he's on Mars" & Conor literally start gassing in rounds 6 & 7 just like Roy said he would smh Boxing just a different world bruh
No pressure on McGregor, he is expected to lose. McGregor has the psychological advantage. He will fight with the nothing to lose attitude.
Why don't they put MMA fighters in these interviews? Because they dont know shit about boxing
*+Angel B* Boxing doesn't require "knowing shit". Boxing is just boxing. It's not like it's some multi-discipline sport where varying degrees of knowledge in different areas are a benefit... like Judo, Jiu Jitsu, Tae Kwon Do, Jeet Kune Do, Muy Thai, boxing, wrestling, street fighting, and wrestling.
Angel B that's like saying why would u put a boxer in a interview about mma because hey don't know shot about it
Young Frankenstein Wrong, it is required to know shit about boxing. The skill set is completely different from those others. A lot of MMA fighters don't even know the rules to boxing, a lot are asking if "spinning back fists" are legal. Really?
Young Frankenstein your so wrong
Young Frankenstein so, so wrong
RJJ... "When you put him in round six, he's on Mars!"
2:55
😆🤣😂
There was a sportscience on glove size and the damage differences between 4oz and 8oz were minimal.
Roy Jones broke it down pretty well about McGregors inexperience past round 5. That basically what happened..
A lot of fighters have lost to Floyd, like it's not a big deal.
I do think he could have went for the KO a little more once Floyd started getting inside his jab
Espn should not cover this if they aren't going to do this respectfully
@ 2:31 the guy behind Roy Jones jr's shoulder, in the gray shirt, knows more about boxing than Roy, in his mind.
Play the full videos dammit
Well, Roy got it right. Connor was on Mars after round 5. My pick was a bit quicker anihilation. So props for Connor. However, fight night he was 3 weight classes higher than Floyd. But still props.
Roy Jones Jr. (in his prime) vs. Sugar Ray Leonard (in his prime) vs. Floyd Mayweather Jr.
Who would win???
Muhammad Ali
why is it so short
“You put him on round 6 he's on Mars!" Hahaha 😄 that comment was funny from The pound for pound Roy Jones Jr.
Y'all musta forgot!!!
Where are all the Conor fans at that said he was gonna KO mayweather?!? Still dreaming? Hahaha
in his prime roy was the best ever.. he was sooo far ahead of everyone else it was unreal
Thak you Roy , you are still the greatest in my heart .
....Roy Jones Jr KNOWS WHAT THE FUCK HE WAS TALKING ABOUT!! HAHAHA!!! Great fight though!1
To me, mma is checkers and boxing is chess.
Marshall Slade
You could say that on either side
Mma is real fight and thats it
Round 6 your on mars - quote of the day by Roy awesome !
Yo whats up with these partial cut off videos!!!
Roy told the truth, McGregor would need a weapon to win... Genetically Mayweather will always be better!
Pretty Nikki #melanin
Pretty Nikki spoiler alert: you not pretty
I am a pacquiao fan and i hate floyd mayweather but mcgregor aint got no chance on landing a punch against a 40 year old floyd, hell floyd can be even 50 yrs old and i will still bet on him against a prime conor in a boxing ring, mayweather by tko
Max, well said. Much respect to the great Roy Jones!
Roy is ultimately my favorite boxer although I grew up loving Tyson who was in a different weight class but man Roy is hard !
If Conor is losing rounds. I hope that he starts pulling leg kicks and gets disqualified.
shlidgn90 he will lose his purse if he does that per clause in their contact.
sounds like a loser to me.
Nah a true bitch hides behind rules. A man who thinks he is the best fighter in the world would have no problem against kicks, elbows, knees, grappling, throws etc.....Boxers are pussies lets face it.
Hiding behind Rules? Please. Why don't we bring biting, scratching, hair pulling, groin kicks, eye gouging, rabbit punches, fence grabbing, ground stomps, and two on one matchups into the mix. While we're at it how can you call someone the best fighter in the world if they can't deal with knives or guns. With your logic wouldn't weapon based martial artists be the best in the world because a knife will always cut through a jiu jitsu guy? No matter how much mma tries to peg itself as "street fighting" it's still a sport as much as boxing is.
cause the fight is in boxing rules how hard is that to understand Conor to his credit got this pay day but that's all he will get he will get torched and go back to being the best MMA fighter no harm in that
According to who? He is 3th in the UFC pound-for-pound ranking.
+camm empress 3rd* I recommend you change that before trolls come 💀
Roy was definitely a generational talent. Hand and foot speed unmatched.
Max was spot on he the p4p best of all time. Skills for skills. No one ever close.
Mayweather TKO 10, 50-0
Stephen A Smith got some scrawny white boy arms
2:20
HoopLah clunk you edited and still wrote an improperly constructed sentence. Also, I spend parts of my life in 3rd world nations and they speak English more educated than you, even as a second language.
RACIST!!!!
HoopLah clunk you went from wanna be classy to true color trashy real quick. Now, your hail Mary attempts just look desperate.
roy articulated this really well. the best ive heard
Can someone please translate for me what Roy said in this segment? I don’t understand goat language.
Roy > Floyd and it ain't close
"He's not faced a real fighter before"
.. Excuse me Roy, but I'm actually gonna lean toward MMA as real fighting... y'all box, and that's it.. boxers talk all this shit until they get they temple kicked across the globe
SwiSh I have no problem with Boxing, it's a beautiful sport.. but if a boxer agreed to FIGHT me I'd push his heart through his spine with a front kick.. if a boxer said "Let's box" I'd respectfully and also bitchfully decline because I like my life lol
-Sir Drago- you will get your ass beat by any amateur boxer stfu
-Sir Drago- he means that Conor hasn't face a real boxer before he got the words mixed up, of course he knows that Conor has face fighters befors
-Sir Drago- "Better to be a jack of one trade, and master of one, than a jack of all trades, And a Master of none"
if conor losses this saturday it proves he is a jack of all trades but a master of none he claims ufc is real fighting and boxing is half a fight then why he the face of ufc cant have an udefeated record just proves that people that think conor is as great as he is are delusional if conor is as good as u claim he is then he should not have those 3 losses via submissions aug 26 conor is gonna prove that he cant even win half a fight
QBeezzy11 promise you I wouldn't lol. In a fight I'D WASH an amateur boxer.. just boxing?.. I could hold my own, might lose but I wouldn't get my ass beat.
Ahh excuse me ESPN but they were still speaking.. why post a video if you're not going to show the full segment? Fail
This was awesome
McGregor's gay fans can't fight for him. 0-1.
Hoang Lam 🖕😒🖕
you come up w that line all by your lonesome self??? lmaowow ;) mcgregor ko floyd in 2.....fingers x...peace.......Hoang Lam
84theviking 2 fingers huh? LMAO.
Roy Jones saying conor has never done more than 5 rounds is dumb mma is 5 min rounds boxing is 3 and the reason mma is only 5 rounds is because grappling and defending takedowns is exhausting it takes your energy so quickly. Even Michael Bisping who has a resting heart rate of 35 mpm which is the same heart rate as olympic runners gets exhausted at the end of 5 rounds.
Jonny_mufc he hasn't nigga do da math 5minutes x 3rounds=15 minutes...... 3 minutes x 5 rounds=15 minutes..... basically after da fifth round conor will be more exhausted den a regular boxer in da rounds after da 5th
Trayvon Etienne sir, Conor fights championship fights.. in MMA, championship fights are 5 rounds.. with the 5 minute time limit. That's 25 minutes of grappling, wrestling, punching, takedowns.. you name it. The endurance you need for UFC is more than real.
11
conor went 5 rounds vs nate diaz in the 2nd fight
Jonny_mufc no you spend more time doing nothing in MMA and you can rest while grappling it's a big difference boxing is much harder the skill level is much higher
It irritates me how they don't upload the full conversation.
I hope at least the undercard features some good, competitive matches.
These damn Boxers are biased and have no idea about the MMA world... they are closed minded and have to defend their sport that THEY grew up in, so of course they are going to side with Floyd. But honestly, you can make assumptions all day long about whats going to happen... but in reality, we all won't know until AFTER the fight. we shall see.
Grim Reaper u call boxing fans close minded yet u believe boxing will die if may loses. No it won't boxers will still continue to make more than ufc fighters and u never mac may come over to boxing after because of the paydays. Boxing isn't gonna dies for quite some time yet with boxers like joshua, thurman, wilder, GGG coming up
Grim Reaper. no actually we all know what's going to happen Conor McGregor is going to lose LOL
Mayweather gonna get knocked out so hard he'll learn how to read
Matt C Corny ass comment. McGregor couldn't even knock out Paulie, who got his ass beat severely.
Joseph Enwereji That's was 16oz gloves WITH headgear! If it was 8oz and no headgear then Pauline's shit would have been plastered all over the ring.
Sway lmfao.....
looks like mayweather aint gon be reading anytime soon
Matt C popsicle stick joke this was bad man ..
LEGEND! Still the greatest Natural Athlete to put on a pair of boxing Gloves!
lol @ 3:13 the dork in the back shaking his head in disagreement with RJ
Max is so cringy
how
where
Who?
Keep up all this ignorant talk, but when Mcgregor knocks down Mayweather, all will be shocked...
Ken Montano nahhh lol
Ken Montano It Canelo or Cotto or Pacquiao or Sugar Shane Mosley or Gatti or Zab Zudah couldn't do it....How the fck do you think Connor can
49-1 eaasy. Fuck I wish I could see all the faces of the ignorant mayweather fans come 26th when "ya boi" is lying face first into the canvas.. those reactions haha.
evo tme Connor might go the whole fight without landing a punch lol
Ken Montano. not you because you're so smart why don't you bet money on it
What's chance the rapper doin back there at 1:50?😂
Roy Jones Jr. one of the all time best evasive counter fighters ever. The guy could dodge bullets.
Boy, haven't heard of Roy in years.
8-26-17
Priceless comment from somebody who knows boxing...
Roy Jones preach! These mma fighters will be heartbroken.
Stop putting ads at the beginning
Roy's Jones's accurate Judgment can true. He is truly one of a kind.
Can't be touched, can't be stopped....
max kellerman never misses a chance to sneak Dias floyd. plenty of people said mayweather was good as Roy back in 03-05
one of the few opinions i really care about hearing.. rjj a real one and he knows his shit.
Roy keeping it real like always
Finally there you go Roy said it already
Yep. Roy was a BEAST!!!
"he hears round 5 he don`t where he is he hears round 6 he`s on mars"! bang on!
Roy Jones Jr. MY FAVORITE BOXER OF ALL TIME
I'm going with MacGregor in a big upset. This reminds me of before a Japanese position player in baseball came to the majors. They said he couldn't hit major leaguers. How'd Ichiro do? The boxing experts can't judge MacGregor because he's never boxed. But he IS a skilled FIGHTER.
Max opened up beautifully. Roy Jones Jr was and still is the man!
The white dude on the end pissed me off 😂🇮🇪
I used to box in roy's gym when my uncle was his trainer
i want to remember u guys that also vitali klitschko started as kickboxer and moved on boxing at wich he was pretty good. what u say?
When did the consensus become MMA is closer to "real fighting" ( whatever that means, let's assume streetfighting) if that's the case when was the last time you saw someone in a street fight throw an effective leg kick or have a refined ground game? In most brawls you use your hands and those who are better with those stand the best chance barring weapons
I love you Roy!!!
I rather box for three min. 12 rounds. rather than hop in a cage for 25 min. People always argue that boxing requires more stamina. In my opinion one round of MMA is equal to 2 rounds of boxing.
dreams have been crushed
Is that Roy Jones? I didn't recognize him off the mat. lol
This is the swaggiest I've ever seen Stephen A. Look
не знаю сейчас таких боксеров с кем Рой по молодости бы не справился,, думаю ему тяжело было бы с Леонардом и Роббинсоном и все,,Рой был непобедим, его бокс был зрелищным красивым, он как супермен в боксе
Why is Roy the ONLY one not wearing sunglasses??
if Roy Jones was still fighting no MMA fighter would even think about crossing over.
Guy in the green shades say "that's right" someone who couldn't box eggs 😤
Roy Jones Jr. was a beast in his prime but that is an understatement.
Are ya ready to see The Great White Hype 2 on PPV or online
jones called it!
Said what ever you want ROY JONES was the most supreme athlete boxing has ever seem LOVE TO ROY YOU MUST TO FORGOT
Roy, round 8 is the equivalent of being in round 5 in mma. But to your point after that , yes you are correct.
Fucking Connor McGregor started a new dance..the Irish shuffle
Max u going down deep
Roy was so correct! Imo best in his prime!
