When Roy Jones Jr. was in his prime, he was as dominating as any fighter I have ever seen. He would have long stretches where not only would he never lose rounds, no fighter could even manage to land a clean punch.
His speed and reflexes were a sight to see. From the time he was deprived of his much deserved Olympic glory in 1988, until he made history by defeating John Ruiz to claim a portion of the heavyweight title, he was considered by most the pound for pound champ. Jones was being mentioned with the likes of Sugar Ray Robinson as an All Time great. Something funny happened on the way to the Hall of Fame. The great Roy Jones lost his invincibility (and maybe his chin) while suffering consecutive knockout losses to Antonio Tarver and Glen Johnson. [details]
