The legendary 4-weight world champion, Roy Jones Jr is intending to have the final hurrah of his prolonged professional career.
Jones, 65-9 (47KOs) at 49 years of age, will enter the ring for what he promises will be his final time. The fight will be a ten round cruiserweight showdown with Scott Sigmon, 30-11-1 (16KOs).
As he prepares to climb into the ring for the final time. The once blinding magician inside of the ring took issue with the ongoing Floyd Mayweather ‘TBE’ claims.
Mayweather claims he was the best fighter of all time and Roy strongly disputes that claim.
Roy Jones claims that when you compare them both head-to-head in their primes, it is a no-contest.
“The great thing today is it doesn’t matter what anyone says or what anyone writes.”
“You can type ‘sickest boxing highlights’ into YouTube or Google and you see Roy Jones Junior doing this thing.”
“Nobody can change your mind after you see that. That is pound-for-pound! I did what I did – it happened – it is a fact,” Jones said.
“Floyd Mayweather was TBE at making money, but look at his highlights and look at mine. You can’t pretend it’s the same. You can’t pretend there’s ever been anyone come close to doing what I did.”
“Nobody you could name could touch me – and I’m talking about nobody who’s around now, nobody who was around in my prime, and nobody who was around any time you can mention outta your mouth,” Jones said.
“In my prime, I was the ruler. Simple as that. I understand there’s a lot of great fighters who’ve followed me already since I was the champ – and I hope there’s another who comes along does even better because want to see that – but I haven’t seen anyone do what I did yet.”
“I haven’t seen anyone turn pro at 154lbs and win the heavyweight championship of the world.”
“Even the great Sugar Ray Robinson. The pound-for-pound guy that he was, couldn’t win the light heavyweight title after turning pro as a welterweight.”
“He had a difficult time trying that. So that tells you how hard it is to jump up that kind of weight and win. So, pound-for-pound the greatest of all time?”
“It isn’t hard to figure out, Roy Jones Junior is your king of the hill.”
