Simply the best….. רוי ג'ונס, ג 'וניור.

ארגון בוגרי איגרוף ארה"ב, כיתה של 2018 מוסמך

מעיינות קולורדו, Lap. (ספטמבר 6, 2018) – Living legend רוי ג'ונס, ג 'וניור., universally recognized as one of the greatest pound-for-pound boxers of all-time, leads a celebrated quintet of Class of 2018 inductees into the USA Boxing Alumni Association Hall of Fame.

 

 

 

קבלת היכל התהילה השנתית השנייה של אגודת בוגרי האיגרוף בארה"ב, נערך בשיתוף עם 2018 אליפות ארה"ב ואליפויות אגרוף בארה"ב ופתוח ג 'וניור והכנה, דצמבר 2-8, will be held Dec. 7, במלון רדיסון (215 S. רחוב המקדש) in Salk Lake City, יוטה.

 

 

 

 

בנוסף לג'ונס, הכיתה של 2018 also includes two U.S. Olympic gold medalists and world (מקצועי) אלופים, אנדרה וורד ו קלרסה שילדס, כמו גם מנהל אימון אגרוף לשעבר בארה"ב עמנואל סטיוארד ובכיר אגרוף בארה"ב הוותיק טום קלירי. The latter two will be posthumously inducted.

 

 

 

The charter class inducted last year included מוחמד עלי ו איוונדר הוליפילד, as well as veteran coaches רוזוולט סנדרס ו טום קולטר.

 

 

 

I am honored to be selected for induction into the USA Boxing Alumni Association Hall of Fame,” Jones commented, “especially as a member of this great class with my fellow inductees.

 

 

 

Amateur boxing gave me the chance to learn life skills as well as face every other possible scenario inside of the ring.

 

 

 

ג'ונס, באופן אירוני, got into boxing at the age of 11 because of Ali. “I saw Ali vs. (ג'ו) פרייזרand just felt as though Ali and I had the same mental concept on life,” Jones explained.

 

 

 

Jones went on to become one of the best amateur boxers in the world, compiling a reported 121-13 שיא, including gold medal performances at the 1984 National Junior Olympics and 1986 & 1987 National Golden Gloves Tournaments.

 

 

 

ב 1988 האולימפיאדה בסיאול, דרום קוריאה, Jones reached the championship final of the light middleweight division against Park Si-Hun, של דרום קוריאה. Jones suffered arguably the worst decision in boxing history, losing 3-2, despite outpunching his opponent, 86 ל 32 landed punches, and he was forced to settle for a silver medal. Even his opponent admitted that Jones won their fight, leading the AIBA to later suspend the three judges who selected the hometown fighter as the winner.

 

 

 

How disgraceful was this decision? Jones was selected as the Val Barker Trophy winner as the best boxer of the 1988 Olympics and, due to controversy, the scoring system for Olympic boxing was changed, replacing the 20-point must system with electronic scoring.

 

 

 

I was angered,” Jones admitted, “yet promoted to prove that I was the best fighter there, and in the world, at that time.

 

 

 

Jones made his professional debut May 6, 1989, at home in Pensacola, פלורידה, in a scheduled eight-round bout, in which RJJ stopped Ricky Randall בסיבוב השני. His long, glorious journey has produced a remarkable 66-9 (47 קוס) שיא מקצוענים, highlighted by nine major world titles in four different weight classes.

 

 

 

ב 2003, Jones defeated ג'ון רואיז by way of a 12-round unanimous decision to become the first former world middleweight champion to become world heavyweight title holder in more than a century.

 

 

 

The possessor of exceptional hand and foot speed, אתלטיות, תנועה ורפלקסים, Jones went undefeated through his first 34 קרבות פרו, 22-3 (14) בקרבות אליפות עולם. Against former, present or future world champions, Jones was 19-9 (8 קוס) and included among his victims were greats such as ברנרד הופקינס, ג'יימס Toney, מייק McCallum,ויני Pazienza, וירג'יל היל, אנטוניו Tarver ו פליקס טרינידד.

 

 

 

היום, the 49-year-old Jones, technically speaking, is still an active fighter. He also has two promotional companies and gyms, located in Pensacola and Las Vegas, trains several pro boxers and serves as a color commentator for HBO Boxing. He recently opened gyms in South Africa.

 

 

 

For the past two years, Jones has hosted theFuture Stars of Boxing Tournament” בלאס וגאס, showcasing some of the best amateur boxers in the world.

 

 

 

Hosting the tournament in Las Vegas gives me the opportunity to give back to amateur boxing,” Jones explained. “It’s a great experience for the boxers and it reminds them that who they may have or still look up to, are watching them as well.

When USA Boxing alumni discuss their favorite fighters,” אמר כריס tofflemire, מנכ"ל איגוד בוגרי האיגרוף בארה"ב, “Roy Jones is near the top of everyone’s list. His spectacular talent, dedication to his craft, and infectious personality make him a no-brainer to headline this year’s Hall of Fame class. He continues to give back to amateur boxing and support the next generation. Roy deserves to be celebrated for all he has accomplished, ואנחנו מצפים לכבד אותו בדצמבר.”

Quotes of Note from other World Champions

 

George Foreman: “(ג'ונס) hits like a heavyweight and moved like a lightweight.

 

מונטל גריפין: “פלויד (Mayweather, ג 'וניור) was no comparison as far as speed. Roy was much faster.

 

מייק McCallum: “(Jones is) the greatest fighter of all time.

 

 

 

 

If he ever hangs-up his gloves for good, רוי ג'ונס, ג 'וניור. will be a first ballot inductee into the International Boxing Hall of Fame. There may never be another boxer quite like RJJ.
