Roy Jones, Jr. is a man who defies definition. A five-time world champion boxer in four different weight classes, a world-class boxing promoter, a superb athlete in all arenas, a hit music performer and manager, and a television and motion picture actor. In short, Roy Jones, Jr. is a renaissance man for his era and a legend for eras to come.
Against a backdrop of battle-scarred mountains
and Far East mysticism, Roy Jones, Jr. first burst upon
the world following a shockingly controversial defeat in
the 1988 Seoul Olympics. Until then, he was just the best
amateur junior middleweight in the world, a 156-pound kid
from Pensacola, Florida with a great deal of promise but
a limited recognition factor.
Jones returned home to begin a brilliant professional
campaign that would carry him to six world championships,
including the most radiant of them all, the heavyweight
title. Jones spent the better part of a decade regarded
as the premier pound-for-pound fighter in the world.
Jones' only loss during the '90's came stunningly
and surprisingly. Jones was victimized by a controversial
late hit in a WBC light heavyweight defense against Montell
Griffin in March 1997. Leading on all three scorecards and
already having floored Griffin twice, Jones was anxious
to finish him and had him in trouble near the end of the
ninth round. Two glancing shots to an exhausted, kneeling
Griffin as the bell sounded disqualified Jones.
Jones' character and sense of fair play triggered
the following response to his lawyer/advisor Fred Levin
after the fight. "Get me the rematch. Do it now. I want
it to be my next fight. Give him anything he wants. I don't
care what it costs."
Revenge was swift and devastating when Jones
regained his WBC belt with a first-round thrashing of Griffin,
decking him twice before mercifully ending it at the 2:31
mark.
"Losing that first fight to Griffin was nearly
as disappointing as losing the Olympic gold medal," Jones
said. "When I fought him the first time, I was just trying
to beat him. When we fought the second time, I would not
argue if people suggest that there was more than just winning
on my mind.
