Roy Jones’ 10 best performances
Action Images

10. KO 1 MontelL Griffin II (1997)

After being disqualified in their first fight, Jones blitzed Griffin inside 
one round.

9. KO 4 Virgil Hill (1998)

Against the light-heavyweight titlist, Jones looked vicious and the 
rib-breaking body shot which 
ended it was devastating.

8. PTS 12 Antonio Tarver (2003)

By no means a dominant display but Jones proved he can fight through adversity to win, coming on strong in the later rounds.

7. PTS 12 John Ruiz (2003)

With his win over Ruiz, Jones became first man in 106 years to win world titles at middleweight and heavyweight.

6. rsf 6 Clinton Woods (2002)

32-1 going into the fight, Woods 
went on to beat Glen Johnson and 
Julio Cesar Gonzalez, but Jones 
was too much and became the 
only man to stop him.

5. PTS 12 Felix Trinidad (2008)

Arguably Jones’ last great win, he dropped and outpointed the legendary but ageing Puerto Rican over 12.

4. PTS 12 Reggie Johnson (1999)

Jones added the IBF light-heavyweight title to his WBC and WBA straps by outlanding Johnson 273-49 over 12, according to CompuBox.

3. PTS 12 Bernard Hopkins (1993)

In his biggest test to that point, and arguably to date, Jones won the vacant IBF middleweight belt in a tactical and competitive affair.

2. rsf 6 Vinny Pazienza (1995)

A dominant display of brutality and skill. According to CompuBox, Jones became the first man to go a whole round without taking a punch.

1. Pts 12 James Toney (1994)

In a masterful display, Jones dropped Toney and dominated him to take his super-middleweight world title.
