A six-time world champion boxer in four different weight classes, a boxing promoter, a minor league pro basketball player, a recording artist, a music 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 light middleweight in the world, a 156-pound kid from Pensacola, Florida with a great deal of promise but a limited recognition factor. He was then robbed by three judges.<br /> <br /> After watching Jones soundly defeat hometown favorite [[Park Si-Hun]] in the light middleweight final, the world was stunned when the South Korean boxer was given the Gold Medal by a score of 3-2. As one boxing expert moaned: &quot;Those blind bums would have given Custer a Gold Medal after the Little Big Horn.&quot;<br /> <br /> One judge immediately admitted the error of his ways. The Moroccan judge said Jones clearly won, but he voted for Park because he was sure that his fellow judges would vote for Jones, and he didn't want the host country's boxer to be embarrassed by losing a 5-0 decision. Despite the loss, Jones was awarded the Val Barker Trophy, given to the Games' outstanding boxer. <br /> <br /> While Park took his tarnished Gold Medal and slipped into obscurity, Jones returned home to begin a brilliant professional campaign that would carry him to five world championships, including a portion of the heavyweight title. Jones spent the better part of a decade regarded as the premier pound-for-pound fighter in the world.<br /> <br /> Jones was ''The Ring'' &quot;Fighter of the Year&quot; in 1994 and was voted the &quot;Fighter of the Decade&quot; for the 1990s by the [[Boxing Writers Association of America]]. He's the former [[IBF]] middleweight champion, IBF super middleweight champion and former undisputed light heavyweight champion. He made eleven successful defenses in unifying the 175-pound division before moving up to heavyweight to fight [[John Ruiz]]. On March 1, 2003, Jones became the first former middleweight champion to win a heavyweight title in over 100 years.<br /> <br /> His only loss during the 1990s came stunningly and surprisingly. On March 21, 1997, Jones defended the [[WBC]] light heavyweight title against [[Montell Griffin]] in Atlantic City. Leading on two of the three scorecards, Jones hurt Griffin with a right hand in the ninth, and Jones, anxious to finish him, hit Griffin twice after he took a knee. Jones was disqualified for the foul.<br /> <br /> Jones's character and sense of fair play triggered the following response to his lawyer/adviser Fred Levin after the fight. &quot;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.&quot;<br /> <br /> Revenge was swift and devastating. Jones regained his WBC belt with a first round thrashing of Griffin, decking him twice before mercifully ending it at the 2:31 mark.<br /> <br /> &quot;Losing that first fight to Griffin was nearly as disappointing as losing the Olympic Gold Medal,&quot; Jones said. &quot;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.&quot;<br /> <br /> Jones gave a hint that he was embarking on a legendary fistic career in 1979, when, at the age of 10, he administered a sound beating to a 14-year-old who outweighed him by 16 pounds. It was Jones's first amateur fight; he weighed just 69 pounds. Before he was done fighting for cups and silver baubles, he would win two National Golden Gloves titles and 121 of 134 bouts.<br /> <br /> On May 6, 1989, fighting before a hometown crowd in Pensacola, Jones [[Fight:3427|stopped]] [[Ricky Randall]] in the second round. This time, when he stepped from the ring, instead of a trophy, they handed him a check. &quot;I loved fighting,&quot; he remembers with a grin, &quot;I just figured it was time I started getting paid to do it.&quot;<br /> <br /> His record grew quickly: four wins in 1989, seven in 1990, four more in 1991, and another five in 1992. Only one of his 20 victories went the distance. All but four of the wins came in Pensacola, a fact hammered by a small army of critics. Ignoring the cries for him to fight tougher opponents in larger arenas, Jones steadily honed the skills that would make him the most feared fighter in the world.<br /> <br /> &quot;I know where I am going and no one is going to hurry my getting there before I am ready,&quot; he told a small circle of friends. On the night of May 22, 1993, Jones fought for his first world title. By then, he had tested his tremendous skill against [[Jorge Vaca]] (49-8-1), [[Jorge Fernando Castro]] (70-3-2) and [[Glenn Thomas]] (24-0). He knew he was ready.<br /> <br /> Jones fought [[Bernard Hopkins]], who boasted (often) of a 22-1 record, in Washington, D.C. for the vacant IBF middleweight championship. When the last shot had been fired, all three judges voted for Jones 116-112.<br /> <br /> Once out of the starting blocks, Jones moved quickly. A blurring left hook kayoed top contender [[Thomas Tate]] in the second round of his [[Fight:8394|first middleweight defense]] on May 27, 1994. Jones's [[James Toney vs. Roy Jones Jr.|signature fight]] came against favored, unbeaten IBF super middleweight champion [[James Toney]] on Nov. 18, 1994.<br /> <br /> In a sensational display, Jones tormented Toney with a dominating performance that featured a taunting move by Jones that Toney tried to mimic, only to have the challenger land a solid blow that sent the champion reeling against the ropes in the third round. Jones got credit for a knockdown and went on to sweep all three judges scores to claim another title.<br /> <br /> Ever looking upward, Jones scored a [[Roy Jones Jr. vs. Mike McCallum|12-round unanimous decision]] over [[Mike McCallum]] to win the interim WBC light heavyweight championship. Before he was done sowing havoc among the 175-pounders, Jones put the division tidily under one flag (WBC, [[WBA]] and IBF). He also won recognition as world light heavyweight champion by ''The Ring''. In his wake, he left eleven challengers bent and bloodied.<br /> <br /> On March 1, 2003, Jones left his mark firmly in boxing history by becoming the first former middleweight champ to win a heavyweight title since [[Bob Fitzsimmons]] turned the trick in 1897. Giving away almost 30 pounds to John Ruiz, Jones earned $10 million to score a remarkably easy [[John Ruiz vs. Roy Jones Jr.|12-round decision]]. He won eight rounds on one scorecard, nine on a second and an amazing ten on the third.<br /> <br /> &quot;I know what people are going to say, but there is nothing wrong with John Ruiz,&quot; said Jones. &quot;Like a lot of other guys I fought, he was just slower than me. And I kind of out thought him.&quot;<br /> <br /> &quot;What's next?&quot; a visitor asked the 34-year-old WBA heavyweight champion. &quot;I'll think of something,&quot; said Jones with a wide grin.<br /> <br /> Following the celebratory win over Ruiz, [[Antonio Tarver]] was seated, along with the media, in the post-fight press conference. &quot;I want my shot at history, Roy.&quot; Roy eventually had heard enough and on November 8, 2003 at Mandalay Bay in Las Vegas, Jones met Antonio Tarver for ''The Ring'' and WBC light heavyweight title. Jones won by a [[Antonio Tarver vs. Roy Jones Jr. (1st meeting)|12 round majority decision]]. It was Jones's first fight at light heavyweight since beating Ruiz. He had to drop over twenty-five pounds to make the weight and looked physically drained. Jones had to dig down deep, arguably the deepest in his career, to rally during the last two rounds to win.<br /> <br /> The [[Roy Jones Jr. vs. Antonio Tarver (2nd meeting)|Jones-Tarver rematch]] took place on May 15, 2004, again at Mandalay Bay. The action was just starting to warm up when Tarver scored a knockdown midway through the second round. Jones got up just after the referee reached the count of 10 and waved the fight over. After the fight, Roy said, &quot;There ain't no excuses on my part. I come out and do what I do. Guys always get up to fight Roy Jones. It happens like that. I'm a warrior and I'm going to fight. It happens to the best of us.&quot;<br /> <br /> Surprisingly, Jones returned to the ring almost immediately. Not for a tune-up fight, but to fight for a world title. Because that is the only thing Roy Jones knows how to do, fight for world titles. He fought [[Glen Johnson]] for the IBF light heavyweight title on September 25, 2004 in Memphis. For only the third time in Jones's fifty-two fight career, the bout finished in his opponent's favor.<br /> <br /> Thinking of new ways to astonish his legions of followers had never been a problem for this superb athlete. One only has to go back to June 15, 1996 to find a stunning example of Jones's incredible athletic ability and stamina. A few hours before he defended his IBF super middleweight championship against [[Eric Lucas]], Jones spent 15 minutes playing for the Jacksonville Barracudas of the United States Basketball League. He scored six points.<br /> <br /> Defeating Lucas took a little longer. &quot;He was a bit stubborn,&quot; said Jones of the Canadian, who would go on to become a WBC super middleweight champion five years later. He [[Fight:10718|stopped Lucas in the 12th round]]. &quot;That is the last time I do that. It was one long day.&quot;<br /> <br /> Like basketball, fishing, hunting and raising his beloved fighting cocks, music is another of Jones's loves. Several of is own recordings, including ''The Album: Round One'', have been distributed under his own &quot;Body Heat Entertainment&quot; label. He also manages several talented groups.<br /> <br /> A proven motion picture and television talent, Jones has had parts in ''The Sentinel'', ''Living Single'', ''Watcher'', ''In Living Color'', ''Married With Children'', ''Dateline'', ''Arliss'', ''The Wayans Brothers'' and such films as ''The Devil's Advocate'', ''New Jersey Turnpikes'', and the final two films of ''The Matrix'' trilogy, recently completed in Australia. Jones also appears on the new video game based on ''The Matrix''. Jones's own video game ''Knock Out Kings'', from EA Sports, makes its debut this fall.<br /> <br /> With all of that, this energetic young superstar, a proud father of three sons, still finds the time to devote many hours speaking to America's youth on the value of education and the perils of drugs. He has also been an advocate of boxing reform and has testified at U.S. Senate hearings on behalf of his fellow boxers.<br /> <br /> &quot;When you have been blessed as I have been,&quot; said Jones, &quot;you have to give something back. If some day I find that I have turned around the life of some troubled young man or woman, I will accept that as an award as great as any I have ever received.&quot;<br /> <br /> ==Comments==<br /> As a unified champion, Jones was upgraded to WBA &quot;super champion&quot; in late 2000 and stripped of his &quot;regular title&quot; only in 2001.<br /> <br /> {{start box}}<br /> {{Succession box|<br /> before=[[James Toney]]&lt;br&gt;Vacated|<br /> title=[[IBF Middleweight Champion]]|<br /> after=[[Bernard Hopkins]]|<br /> years=1993 May 22 &amp;ndash; 1994 Nov 18&lt;br&gt;'''Vacated'''<br /> }}<br /> {{Succession box|<br /> before=[[James Toney]]|<br /> title=[[IBF Super Middleweight Champion]]|<br /> after=[[Charles Brewer]]|<br /> years=1994 Nov 18 &amp;ndash; 1996 Nov 22&lt;br&gt;'''Vacated'''<br /> }}<br /> {{Succession box|<br /> before=[[Fabrice Tiozzo]]&lt;br&gt;Vacated|<br /> title=[[WBC Light Heavyweight Champion]]|<br /> after=[[Montell Griffin]]|<br /> years=1997 Mar &amp;ndash; 1997 Mar 21<br /> }}<br /> {{Succession box|<br /> before=[[Montell Griffin]]|<br /> title=[[WBC Light Heavyweight Champion]]|<br /> after=[[Antonio Tarver]]|<br /> years=1997 Aug 7 &amp;ndash; 2003 Mar 1&lt;br&gt;'''Vacated'''<br /> }}<br /> {{s-bef|rows=2|before=[[Lou Del Valle]]}} <br /> {{s-ttl|rows=2|title=[[WBA Light Heavyweight Champion]] <br /> |years=1998 Jul 18 &amp;ndash; 2000&lt;br&gt;'''Upgraded to Super Champion'''&lt;br&gt;2000 &amp;ndash; 2004 May 15&lt;br&gt;'''Super Champion'''}} <br /> {{s-aft|after=[[Antonio Tarver]]&lt;br&gt;Super Champion}}<br /> |-<br /> {{s-aft|after=[[Bruno Girard]]&lt;br&gt;Regular Champion}}<br /> {{Succession box|<br /> before=[[Reggie Johnson]]|<br /> title=[[IBF Light Heavyweight Champion]]|<br /> after=[[Antonio Tarver]]|<br /> years=1999 Jun 5 &amp;ndash; 2003 Mar 1&lt;br&gt;'''Vacated'''<br /> }}<br /> {{Succession box|<br /> before=[[John Ruiz]]|<br /> title=[[WBA Heavyweight Champion]]|<br /> after=[[John Ruiz]]|<br /> years=2003 Mar 1 &amp;ndash; 2004 Feb 20&lt;br&gt;'''Vacated'''<br /> }}<br /> {{Succession box|<br /> before=[[Antonio Tarver]]|<br /> title=[[WBC Light Heavyweight Champion]]|<br /> after=[[Antonio Tarver]]|<br /> years=2003 Nov 8 &amp;ndash; 2004 May 15<br /> }}<br /> {{end box}}<br /> <br /> {{DEFAULTSORT:Jones Jr., Roy}}<br /> [[Category:African American Boxers]]<br /> [[Category:National Golden Gloves Champions]]<br /> [[Category:1988 Olympians]]<br /> [[Category:American Olympians]]<br /> [[Category:Olympic Silver Medalists]]<br /> [[Category:World Middleweight Champions]]<br /> [[Category:World Super Middleweight Champions]]<br /> [[Category:World Light Heavyweight Champions]]<br /> [[Category:World Heavyweight Champions]]<br /> [[Category:Four Division World Champions]]<br /> [[Category:American World Champions]]<br /> [[Category:NABO Light Heavyweight Champions]]<br /> [[Category:Promoters]]<br /> [[Category:Actors]]</div>

<p>Buckleyjermaine: /* Awards &amp; Recognition */</p> <hr /> <div>[[file:MannyPac.jpg|thumb|left|300px]]<br /> &lt;boxer&gt;006129&lt;/boxer&gt; <br /> '''Trainer:''' [[Freddie Roach]] (2001 - present)&lt;br&gt; <br /> '''Manager:''' [[Shelly Finkel]]&lt;br&gt;<br /> '''[[:Category:Manny Pacquiao Gallery|Manny Pacquiao Gallery]]<br /> &lt;br clear=all&gt;<br /> <br /> '''Manny Pacquiao''', sometimes known simply as &quot;Pac Man,&quot; began his career in 1995, at age 16. He won his first couple of fights, before bumping into [[Rustico Torrecampo]], who scored a [[Fight:10312|third-round KO]] over Pacquiao, but the replay clearly showed that Torrecampo hit Pacquiao below the belt. Pacquiao went forward with his career, before fighting [[Chokchai Chockvivat]] for the [[OPBF]] flyweight title. A few fights later in December of 1998, Pacquiao fought [[WBC]] flyweight champion [[Chatchai Sasakul]]. The bout was very even, the champion being elusive and a good counter puncher. Pacquiao won by KO in round eight, after which Sasakul did not get up for a few minutes. Pacquiao's next noteworthy assignment came when he fought [[Lehlohonolo Ledwaba]] for the [[IBF]] [[IBF Super Bantamweight Champion|122 lb title]]. Pacquiao came as a late sub on a few weeks notice and dominated the fight, [[Lehlohonolo Ledwaba vs. Manny Pacquiao|knocking out the champ in six rounds]]. Pacquiao made a string of IBF title defenses before moving up in weight and fighting [[Marco Antonio Barrera]]. Pacquiao boxed well and his southpaw style seemed to be troubling Barrera. Pacquiao knocked down Barrera three times in [[Manny Pacquiao vs. Marco Antonio Barrera (1st meeting)|this fight]]. Next Pacquiao fought [[Juan Manuel Marquez]]. Marquez was down three times in the first round. However, Marquez did come back to win many of the latter rounds and secure a [[Juan Manuel Marquez vs. Manny Pacquiao (1st meeting)|draw]]. Pacquiao was then signed for a match with [[Erik Morales]], at 130 pounds after a rematch with Marquez never materialized, because of Marquez demanding far too much money. In a candidate for Fight of the Year, Morales won a slim [[Manny Pacquiao vs. Erik Morales (1st meeting)|decision]] against Pacquiao, winning on all three judges scorecards by scores of 115-113.<br /> <br /> He came back from the Morales defeat to [[Manny Pacquiao vs. Hector Velazquez|knockout]] [[Human:7879|Hector Velazquez]] in six rounds. In January 2006, Pacquiao scored one of the biggest victories of his career, when he stopped Erik Morales in the 10th round of their [[Manny Pacquiao vs. Erik Morales (2nd meeting)|rematch]], the first stoppage loss of Morales career.<br /> <br /> Pacquiao is extraordinarily popular in the Philippines, where he is currently the most popular athlete in his country. Pacquiao has branched into acting in Filipino movies and various business ventures as well, including a number of commercial endorsements, seen almost everyday on local TV. Pacquiao carried his country's flag at the opening ceremonies of the 2008 Beijing Olympic games.<br /> <br /> ==Regional &amp; Minor Titles==<br /> *OPBF flyweight champion (1997-98)<br /> *WBC International super bantamweight champion (1999-01)<br /> *WBC International super featherweight title (2005-present (Nov 2007))<br /> <br /> ==World Titles==<br /> *WBC flyweight champion (1997-98, lost title when he failed to make weight for title bout)<br /> *IBF super bantamweight champion (2001-03, vacated to fight at featherweight)<br /> *WBC Super Featherweight champion<br /> *WBC Lightweight champion<br /> *WBO Welterweight champion<br /> ==Other Title Claim==<br /> Pacquiao was recognized as champion at featherweight by ''[[The Ring Magazine|The Ring]]'' magazine. The website, Cyber Boxing Zone, also recognizes this claim. Pacquiao vacated his featherweight claim, after his loss to Erik Morales, expressing a desire to continue fighting at 130 pounds. Pacquiao knocked out Ricky Hatton on May 2, 2009, to win the [[IBO]] lightwelterweight title.<br /> <br /> ==Awards &amp; Recognition ==<br /> *2006, 2008 &amp; 2009 ESPN &quot;Fighter of the Year&quot;<br /> *2006, 2008 &amp; 2009 [[Ring Magazine Fighter of the Year]]<br /> *2006, 2008 &amp; 2009 [[Boxing Writers Association of America Fighter of the Year]]<br /> *2007 [[WBHOF: Fighter of the Year|World Boxing Hall of Fame Fighter of the Year]]<br /> *Pacquiao's second round KO over [[Ricky Hatton]] was named the 2009 [[Ring Magazine Knockout of the Year]].<br /> *Voted the 2000-2009 &quot;Fighter of the Decade&quot; by the [[Boxing Writers Association of America]].<br /> <br /> ==External Links==<br /> *[http://mannypacquiao.ph Official website]<br /> *[http://mannypacquiaofan.com Fan site]<br /> *IMDB [http://www.imdb.com/name/nm1301525/ Pacquiao page]<br /> <br /> {{start box}}<br /> {{Succession box|<br /> before=[[Chatchai Sasakul]]|<br /> title=[[WBC Flyweight Champion]]|<br /> after=[[Medgoen Singsurat]]|<br /> years=1998 Dec 4 &amp;ndash; 1999 Sep 17&lt;br&gt;'''Stripped&lt;br&gt;(failed to make weight)'''<br /> }}<br /> {{Succession box|<br /> before=[[Lehlohonolo Ledwaba]]|<br /> title=[[IBF Super Bantamweight Champion]]|<br /> after=[[Israel Vazquez]]|<br /> years=2001 Jun 23 &amp;ndash; 2003&lt;br&gt;'''Vacated'''<br /> }}<br /> {{Succession box|<br /> before=[[Juan Manuel Marquez]]|<br /> title=[[WBC Super Featherweight Champion]]|<br /> after=[[Humberto Soto]]|<br /> years=2008 Mar 15 &amp;ndash; 2008&lt;br&gt;'''Vacated'''|<br /> }}<br /> {{Succession box|<br /> before=[[David Diaz]]|<br /> title=[[WBC Lightweight Champion]]|<br /> after=[[Edwin Valero]]|<br /> years=2008 Jun 28 &amp;ndash; 2009 Feb 24&lt;br&gt;'''Vacated'''|<br /> }}<br /> {{Incumbent succession box|<br /> before=[[Miguel Angel Cotto]]|<br /> title=[[WBO Welterweight Champion]]|<br /> start=2009 Nov 14|<br /> after=&amp;mdash;<br /> }}<br /> {{end box}}<br /> <br /> {{DEFAULTSORT:Pacquiao, Manny}}<br /> [[Category:World Flyweight Champions]]<br /> [[Category:World Super Bantamweight Champions]]<br /> [[Category:World Super Featherweight Champions]]<br /> [[Category:World Lightweight Champions]]<br /> [[Category:World Welterweight Champions]]<br /> [[Category:Five Division World Champions]]<br /> [[Category:Filipino World Champions]]<br /> [[Category:Southpaw World Champions]]<br /> [[Category:Actors]]</div>

A six-time world champion boxer in four different weight classes, a boxing promoter, a minor league pro basketball player, a recording artist, a music 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 light middleweight in the world, a 156-pound kid from Pensacola, Florida with a great deal of promise but a limited recognition factor. He was then robbed by three judges.<br /> <br /> After watching Jones soundly defeat hometown favorite [[Park Si-Hun]] in the light middleweight final, the world was stunned when the South Korean boxer was given the Gold Medal by a score of 3-2. As one boxing expert moaned: &quot;Those blind bums would have given Custer a Gold Medal after the Little Big Horn.&quot;<br /> <br /> One judge immediately admitted the error of his ways. The Moroccan judge said Jones clearly won, but he voted for Park because he was sure that his fellow judges would vote for Jones, and he didn't want the host country's boxer to be embarrassed by losing a 5-0 decision. Despite the loss, Jones was awarded the Val Barker Trophy, given to the Games' outstanding boxer. <br /> <br /> While Park took his tarnished Gold Medal and slipped into obscurity, Jones returned home to begin a brilliant professional campaign that would carry him to five world championships, including a portion of the heavyweight title. Jones spent the better part of a decade regarded as the premier pound-for-pound fighter in the world.<br /> <br /> Jones was ''The Ring'' &quot;Fighter of the Year&quot; in 1994 and was voted the &quot;Fighter of the Decade&quot; for the 1990s by the [[Boxing Writers Association of America]]. He's the former [[IBF]] middleweight champion, IBF super middleweight champion and former undisputed light heavyweight champion. He made eleven successful defenses in unifying the 175-pound division before moving up to heavyweight to fight [[John Ruiz]]. On March 1, 2003, Jones became the first former middleweight champion to win a heavyweight title in over 100 years.<br /> <br /> His only loss during the 1990s came stunningly and surprisingly. On March 21, 1997, Jones defended the [[WBC]] light heavyweight title against [[Montell Griffin]] in Atlantic City. Leading on two of the three scorecards, Jones hurt Griffin with a right hand in the ninth, and Jones, anxious to finish him, hit Griffin twice after he took a knee. Jones was disqualified for the foul.<br /> <br /> Jones's character and sense of fair play triggered the following response to his lawyer/adviser Fred Levin after the fight. &quot;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.&quot;<br /> <br /> Revenge was swift and devastating. Jones regained his WBC belt with a first round thrashing of Griffin, decking him twice before mercifully ending it at the 2:31 mark.<br /> <br /> &quot;Losing that first fight to Griffin was nearly as disappointing as losing the Olympic Gold Medal,&quot; Jones said. &quot;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.&quot;<br /> <br /> Jones gave a hint that he was embarking on a legendary fistic career in 1979, when, at the age of 10, he administered a sound beating to a 14-year-old who outweighed him by 16 pounds. It was Jones's first amateur fight; he weighed just 69 pounds. Before he was done fighting for cups and silver baubles, he would win two National Golden Gloves titles and 121 of 134 bouts.<br /> <br /> On May 6, 1989, fighting before a hometown crowd in Pensacola, Jones [[Fight:3427|stopped]] [[Ricky Randall]] in the second round. This time, when he stepped from the ring, instead of a trophy, they handed him a check. &quot;I loved fighting,&quot; he remembers with a grin, &quot;I just figured it was time I started getting paid to do it.&quot;<br /> <br /> His record grew quickly: four wins in 1989, seven in 1990, four more in 1991, and another five in 1992. Only one of his 20 victories went the distance. All but four of the wins came in Pensacola, a fact hammered by a small army of critics. Ignoring the cries for him to fight tougher opponents in larger arenas, Jones steadily honed the skills that would make him the most feared fighter in the world.<br /> <br /> &quot;I know where I am going and no one is going to hurry my getting there before I am ready,&quot; he told a small circle of friends. On the night of May 22, 1993, Jones fought for his first world title. By then, he had tested his tremendous skill against [[Jorge Vaca]] (49-8-1), [[Jorge Fernando Castro]] (70-3-2) and [[Glenn Thomas]] (24-0). He knew he was ready.<br /> <br /> Jones fought [[Bernard Hopkins]], who boasted (often) of a 22-1 record, in Washington, D.C. for the vacant IBF middleweight championship. When the last shot had been fired, all three judges voted for Jones 116-112.<br /> <br /> Once out of the starting blocks, Jones moved quickly. A blurring left hook kayoed top contender [[Thomas Tate]] in the second round of his [[Fight:8394|first middleweight defense]] on May 27, 1994. Jones's [[James Toney vs. Roy Jones Jr.|signature fight]] came against favored, unbeaten IBF super middleweight champion [[James Toney]] on Nov. 18, 1994.<br /> <br /> In a sensational display, Jones tormented Toney with a dominating performance that featured a taunting move by Jones that Toney tried to mimic, only to have the challenger land a solid blow that sent the champion reeling against the ropes in the third round. Jones got credit for a knockdown and went on to sweep all three judges scores to claim another title.<br /> <br /> Ever looking upward, Jones scored a [[Roy Jones Jr. vs. Mike McCallum|12-round unanimous decision]] over [[Mike McCallum]] to win the interim WBC light heavyweight championship. Before he was done sowing havoc among the 175-pounders, Jones put the division tidily under one flag (WBC, [[WBA]] and IBF). He also won recognition as world light heavyweight champion by ''The Ring''. In his wake, he left eleven challengers bent and bloodied.<br /> <br /> On March 1, 2003, Jones left his mark firmly in boxing history by becoming the first former middleweight champ to win a heavyweight title since [[Bob Fitzsimmons]] turned the trick in 1897. Giving away almost 30 pounds to John Ruiz, Jones earned $10 million to score a remarkably easy [[John Ruiz vs. Roy Jones Jr.|12-round decision]]. He won eight rounds on one scorecard, nine on a second and an amazing ten on the third.<br /> <br /> &quot;I know what people are going to say, but there is nothing wrong with John Ruiz,&quot; said Jones. &quot;Like a lot of other guys I fought, he was just slower than me. And I kind of out thought him.&quot;<br /> <br /> &quot;What's next?&quot; a visitor asked the 34-year-old WBA heavyweight champion. &quot;I'll think of something,&quot; said Jones with a wide grin.<br /> <br /> Following the celebratory win over Ruiz, [[Antonio Tarver]] was seated, along with the media, in the post-fight press conference. &quot;I want my shot at history, Roy.&quot; Roy eventually had heard enough and on November 8, 2003 at Mandalay Bay in Las Vegas, Jones met Antonio Tarver for ''The Ring'' and WBC light heavyweight title. Jones won by a [[Antonio Tarver vs. Roy Jones Jr. (1st meeting)|12 round majority decision]]. It was Jones's first fight at light heavyweight since beating Ruiz. He had to drop over twenty-five pounds to make the weight and looked physically drained. Jones had to dig down deep, arguably the deepest in his career, to rally during the last two rounds to win.<br /> <br /> The [[Roy Jones Jr. vs. Antonio Tarver (2nd meeting)|Jones-Tarver rematch]] took place on May 15, 2004, again at Mandalay Bay. The action was just starting to warm up when Tarver scored a knockdown midway through the second round. Jones got up just after the referee reached the count of 10 and waved the fight over. After the fight, Roy said, &quot;There ain't no excuses on my part. I come out and do what I do. Guys always get up to fight Roy Jones. It happens like that. I'm a warrior and I'm going to fight. It happens to the best of us.&quot;<br /> <br /> Surprisingly, Jones returned to the ring almost immediately. Not for a tune-up fight, but to fight for a world title. Because that is the only thing Roy Jones knows how to do, fight for world titles. He fought [[Glen Johnson]] for the IBF light heavyweight title on September 25, 2004 in Memphis. For only the third time in Jones's fifty-two fight career, the bout finished in his opponent's favor.<br /> <br /> Thinking of new ways to astonish his legions of followers had never been a problem for this superb athlete. One only has to go back to June 15, 1996 to find a stunning example of Jones's incredible athletic ability and stamina. A few hours before he defended his IBF super middleweight championship against [[Eric Lucas]], Jones spent 15 minutes playing for the Jacksonville Barracudas of the United States Basketball League. He scored six points.<br /> <br /> Defeating Lucas took a little longer. &quot;He was a bit stubborn,&quot; said Jones of the Canadian, who would go on to become a WBC super middleweight champion five years later. He [[Fight:10718|stopped Lucas in the 12th round]]. &quot;That is the last time I do that. It was one long day.&quot;<br /> <br /> Like basketball, fishing, hunting and raising his beloved fighting cocks, music is another of Jones's loves. Several of is own recordings, including ''The Album: Round One'', have been distributed under his own &quot;Body Heat Entertainment&quot; label. He also manages several talented groups.<br /> <br /> A proven motion picture and television talent, Jones has had parts in ''The Sentinel'', ''Living Single'', ''Watcher'', ''In Living Color'', ''Married With Children'', ''Dateline'', ''Arliss'', ''The Wayans Brothers'' and such films as ''The Devil's Advocate'', ''New Jersey Turnpikes'', and the final two films of ''The Matrix'' trilogy, recently completed in Australia. Jones also appears on the new video game based on ''The Matrix''. Jones's own video game ''Knock Out Kings'', from EA Sports, makes its debut this fall.<br /> <br /> With all of that, this energetic young superstar, a proud father of three sons, still finds the time to devote many hours speaking to America's youth on the value of education and the perils of drugs. He has also been an advocate of boxing reform and has testified at U.S. Senate hearings on behalf of his fellow boxers.<br /> <br /> &quot;When you have been blessed as I have been,&quot; said Jones, &quot;you have to give something back. If some day I find that I have turned around the life of some troubled young man or woman, I will accept that as an award as great as any I have ever received.&quot;<br /> <br /> ==Comments==<br /> As a unified champion, Jones was upgraded to WBA &quot;super champion&quot; in late 2000 and stripped of his &quot;regular title&quot; only in 2001.<br /> <br /> {{start box}}<br /> {{Succession box|<br /> before=[[James Toney]]&lt;br&gt;Vacated|<br /> title=[[IBF Middleweight Champion]]|<br /> after=[[Bernard Hopkins]]|<br /> years=1993 May 22 &amp;ndash; 1994 Nov 18&lt;br&gt;'''Vacated'''<br /> }}<br /> {{Succession box|<br /> before=[[James Toney]]|<br /> title=[[IBF Super Middleweight Champion]]|<br /> after=[[Charles Brewer]]|<br /> years=1994 Nov 18 &amp;ndash; 1996 Nov 22&lt;br&gt;'''Vacated'''<br /> }}<br /> {{Succession box|<br /> before=[[Fabrice Tiozzo]]&lt;br&gt;Vacated|<br /> title=[[WBC Light Heavyweight Champion]]|<br /> after=[[Montell Griffin]]|<br /> years=1997 Mar &amp;ndash; 1997 Mar 21<br /> }}<br /> {{Succession box|<br /> before=[[Montell Griffin]]|<br /> title=[[WBC Light Heavyweight Champion]]|<br /> after=[[Antonio Tarver]]|<br /> years=1997 Aug 7 &amp;ndash; 2003 Mar 1&lt;br&gt;'''Vacated'''<br /> }}<br /> {{s-bef|rows=2|before=[[Lou Del Valle]]}} <br /> {{s-ttl|rows=2|title=[[WBA Light Heavyweight Champion]] <br /> |years=1998 Jul 18 &amp;ndash; 2000&lt;br&gt;'''Upgraded to Super Champion'''&lt;br&gt;2000 &amp;ndash; 2004 May 15&lt;br&gt;'''Super Champion'''}} <br /> {{s-aft|after=[[Antonio Tarver]]&lt;br&gt;Super Champion}}<br /> |-<br /> {{s-aft|after=[[Bruno Girard]]&lt;br&gt;Regular Champion}}<br /> {{Succession box|<br /> before=[[Reggie Johnson]]|<br /> title=[[IBF Light Heavyweight Champion]]|<br /> after=[[Antonio Tarver]]|<br /> years=1999 Jun 5 &amp;ndash; 2003 Mar 1&lt;br&gt;'''Vacated'''<br /> }}<br /> {{Succession box|<br /> before=[[John Ruiz]]|<br /> title=[[WBA Heavyweight Champion]]|<br /> after=[[John Ruiz]]|<br /> years=2003 Mar 1 &amp;ndash; 2004 Feb 20&lt;br&gt;'''Vacated'''<br /> }}<br /> {{Succession box|<br /> before=[[Antonio Tarver]]|<br /> title=[[WBC Light Heavyweight Champion]]|<br /> after=[[Antonio Tarver]]|<br /> years=2003 Nov 8 &amp;ndash; 2004 May 15<br /> }}<br /> {{end box}}<br /> <br /> {{DEFAULTSORT:Jones Jr., Roy}}<br /> [[Category:African American Boxers]]<br /> [[Category:National Golden Gloves Champions]]<br /> [[Category:1988 Olympians]]<br /> [[Category:American Olympians]]<br /> [[Category:Olympic Silver Medalists]]<br /> [[Category:World Middleweight Champions]]<br /> [[Category:World Super Middleweight Champions]]<br /> [[Category:World Light Heavyweight Champions]]<br /> [[Category:World Heavyweight Champions]]<br /> [[Category:Four Division World Champions]]<br /> [[Category:American World Champions]]<br /> [[Category:NABO Light Heavyweight Champions]]<br /> [[Category:Promoters]]<br /> [[Category:Actors]]</div>

Juan Diaz came in as the # 2 lightweight in the world by the same publication.<br /> * Marquez defends his [[Ring Magazine]] Lightweight World Title.<br /> * Other fighters in attendance included [[Bernard Hopkins]], [[Oscar De La Hoya]] and [[Shane Mosley]].<br /> * In Round 5, Marquez developed a small cut, from a punch, in the corner of his right eyelid. <br /> * In Round 8, a left uppercut opened a bad cut on the the right eyelid of Juan Diaz. He was latter wobbled in the same round from another left uppercut. <br /> * At 2:16 of Round 9, a combination sparked by a right hook and finished with a left uppercut sent Diaz falling forward and down to all fours and underneath the bottom rope. He was up at the count of four and received a standing eight-count. <br /> * At 2:34 in Round 9, a tremendous right uppercut dropped Diaz flat on his back in the center of the ring. Without beginning a count, the referee immediately waved and end to the bout.<br /> * Bout was named 2009 &quot;Fight of the Year&quot; by [[Ring Magazine]] and the [[Boxing Writers Association of America]].<br /> <br /> == Comments ==<br /> <br /> * In the post-fight interview with [[HBO]]'s [[Max Kellerman]], Marquez said that he would like to fight [[Floyd Mayweather Jr.]] since, his first choice, [[Manny Pacquiao]] said he was not interested in a third meeting. Either way, Marquez said he would likely move up in weight class for his next fight.<br /> * &quot;What you just saw was a really good young fighter knocked out by a great old fighter.&quot; - [[HBO]]'s [[Max Kellerman]]<br /> * &quot;February twenty-eighth is a little early to proclaim something the Fight of the Year, but good luck to the rest of the sport in producing something that good or that significant.&quot; - [[HBO]]'s [[Jim Lampley]]</div>

A six-time world champion boxer in four different weight classes, a boxing promoter, a minor league pro basketball player, a recording artist, a music 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 light middleweight in the world, a 156-pound kid from Pensacola, Florida with a great deal of promise but a limited recognition factor. He was then robbed by three judges.<br /> <br /> After watching Jones soundly defeat hometown favorite [[Park Si-Hun]] in the light middleweight final, the world was stunned when the South Korean boxer was given the Gold Medal by a score of 3-2. As one boxing expert moaned: &quot;Those blind bums would have given Custer a Gold Medal after the Little Big Horn.&quot;<br /> <br /> One judge immediately admitted the error of his ways. The Moroccan judge said Jones clearly won, but he voted for Park because he was sure that his fellow judges would vote for Jones, and he didn't want the host country's boxer to be embarrassed by losing a 5-0 decision. Despite the loss, Jones was awarded the Val Barker Trophy, given to the Games' outstanding boxer. <br /> <br /> While Park took his tarnished Gold Medal and slipped into obscurity, Jones returned home to begin a brilliant professional campaign that would carry him to five world championships, including a portion of the heavyweight title. Jones spent the better part of a decade regarded as the premier pound-for-pound fighter in the world.<br /> <br /> Jones was ''The Ring'' &quot;Fighter of the Year&quot; in 1994 and was voted the &quot;Fighter of the Decade&quot; for the 1990s by the [[Boxing Writers Association of America]]. He's the former [[IBF]] middleweight champion, IBF super middleweight champion and former undisputed light heavyweight champion. He made eleven successful defenses in unifying the 175-pound division before moving up to heavyweight to fight [[John Ruiz]]. On March 1, 2003, Jones became the first former middleweight champion to win a heavyweight title in over 100 years.<br /> <br /> His only loss during the 1990s came stunningly and surprisingly. On March 21, 1997, Jones defended the [[WBC]] light heavyweight title against [[Montell Griffin]] in Atlantic City. Leading on two of the three scorecards, Jones hurt Griffin with a right hand in the ninth, and Jones, anxious to finish him, hit Griffin twice after he took a knee. Jones was disqualified for the foul.<br /> <br /> Jones's character and sense of fair play triggered the following response to his lawyer/adviser Fred Levin after the fight. &quot;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.&quot;<br /> <br /> Revenge was swift and devastating. Jones regained his WBC belt with a first round thrashing of Griffin, decking him twice before mercifully ending it at the 2:31 mark.<br /> <br /> &quot;Losing that first fight to Griffin was nearly as disappointing as losing the Olympic Gold Medal,&quot; Jones said. &quot;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.&quot;<br /> <br /> Jones gave a hint that he was embarking on a legendary fistic career in 1979, when, at the age of 10, he administered a sound beating to a 14-year-old who outweighed him by 16 pounds. It was Jones's first amateur fight; he weighed just 69 pounds. Before he was done fighting for cups and silver baubles, he would win two National Golden Gloves titles and 121 of 134 bouts.<br /> <br /> On May 6, 1989, fighting before a hometown crowd in Pensacola, Jones [[Fight:3427|stopped]] [[Ricky Randall]] in the second round. This time, when he stepped from the ring, instead of a trophy, they handed him a check. &quot;I loved fighting,&quot; he remembers with a grin, &quot;I just figured it was time I started getting paid to do it.&quot;<br /> <br /> His record grew quickly: four wins in 1989, seven in 1990, four more in 1991, and another five in 1992. Only one of his 20 victories went the distance. All but four of the wins came in Pensacola, a fact hammered by a small army of critics. Ignoring the cries for him to fight tougher opponents in larger arenas, Jones steadily honed the skills that would make him the most feared fighter in the world.<br /> <br /> &quot;I know where I am going and no one is going to hurry my getting there before I am ready,&quot; he told a small circle of friends. On the night of May 22, 1993, Jones fought for his first world title. By then, he had tested his tremendous skill against [[Jorge Vaca]] (49-8-1), [[Jorge Fernando Castro]] (70-3-2) and [[Glenn Thomas]] (24-0). He knew he was ready.<br /> <br /> Jones fought [[Bernard Hopkins]], who boasted (often) of a 22-1 record, in Washington, D.C. for the vacant IBF middleweight championship. When the last shot had been fired, all three judges voted for Jones 116-112.<br /> <br /> Once out of the starting blocks, Jones moved quickly. A blurring left hook kayoed top contender [[Thomas Tate]] in the second round of his [[Fight:8394|first middleweight defense]] on May 27, 1994. Jones's [[James Toney vs. Roy Jones Jr.|signature fight]] came against favored, unbeaten IBF super middleweight champion [[James Toney]] on Nov. 18, 1994.<br /> <br /> In a sensational display, Jones tormented Toney with a dominating performance that featured a taunting move by Jones that Toney tried to mimic, only to have the challenger land a solid blow that sent the champion reeling against the ropes in the third round. Jones got credit for a knockdown and went on to sweep all three judges scores to claim another title.<br /> <br /> Ever looking upward, Jones scored a [[Roy Jones Jr. vs. Mike McCallum|12-round unanimous decision]] over [[Mike McCallum]] to win the interim WBC light heavyweight championship. Before he was done sowing havoc among the 175-pounders, Jones put the division tidily under one flag (WBC, [[WBA]] and IBF). He also won recognition as world light heavyweight champion by ''The Ring''. In his wake, he left eleven challengers bent and bloodied.<br /> <br /> On March 1, 2003, Jones left his mark firmly in boxing history by becoming the first former middleweight champ to win a heavyweight title since [[Bob Fitzsimmons]] turned the trick in 1897. Giving away almost 30 pounds to John Ruiz, Jones earned $10 million to score a remarkably easy [[John Ruiz vs. Roy Jones Jr.|12-round decision]]. He won eight rounds on one scorecard, nine on a second and an amazing ten on the third.<br /> <br /> &quot;I know what people are going to say, but there is nothing wrong with John Ruiz,&quot; said Jones. &quot;Like a lot of other guys I fought, he was just slower than me. And I kind of out thought him.&quot;<br /> <br /> &quot;What's next?&quot; a visitor asked the 34-year-old WBA heavyweight champion. &quot;I'll think of something,&quot; said Jones with a wide grin.<br /> <br /> Following the celebratory win over Ruiz, [[Antonio Tarver]] was seated, along with the media, in the post-fight press conference. &quot;I want my shot at history, Roy.&quot; Roy eventually had heard enough and on November 8, 2003 at Mandalay Bay in Las Vegas, Jones met Antonio Tarver for ''The Ring'' and WBC light heavyweight title. Jones won by a [[Antonio Tarver vs. Roy Jones Jr. (1st meeting)|12 round majority decision]]. It was Jones's first fight at light heavyweight since beating Ruiz. He had to drop over twenty-five pounds to make the weight and looked physically drained. Jones had to dig down deep, arguably the deepest in his career, to rally during the last two rounds to win.<br /> <br /> The [[Roy Jones Jr. vs. Antonio Tarver (2nd meeting)|Jones-Tarver rematch]] took place on May 15, 2004, again at Mandalay Bay. The action was just starting to warm up when Tarver scored a knockdown midway through the second round. Jones got up just after the referee reached the count of 10 and waved the fight over. After the fight, Roy said, &quot;There ain't no excuses on my part. I come out and do what I do. Guys always get up to fight Roy Jones. It happens like that. I'm a warrior and I'm going to fight. It happens to the best of us.&quot;<br /> <br /> Surprisingly, Jones returned to the ring almost immediately. Not for a tune-up fight, but to fight for a world title. Because that is the only thing Roy Jones knows how to do, fight for world titles. He fought [[Glen Johnson]] for the IBF light heavyweight title on September 25, 2004 in Memphis. For only the third time in Jones's fifty-two fight career, the bout finished in his opponent's favor.<br /> <br /> Thinking of new ways to astonish his legions of followers had never been a problem for this superb athlete. One only has to go back to June 15, 1996 to find a stunning example of Jones's incredible athletic ability and stamina. A few hours before he defended his IBF super middleweight championship against [[Eric Lucas]], Jones spent 15 minutes playing for the Jacksonville Barracudas of the United States Basketball League. He scored six points.<br /> <br /> Defeating Lucas took a little longer. &quot;He was a bit stubborn,&quot; said Jones of the Canadian, who would go on to become a WBC super middleweight champion five years later. He [[Fight:10718|stopped Lucas in the 12th round]]. &quot;That is the last time I do that. It was one long day.&quot;<br /> <br /> Like basketball, fishing, hunting and raising his beloved fighting cocks, music is another of Jones's loves. Several of is own recordings, including ''The Album: Round One'', have been distributed under his own &quot;Body Heat Entertainment&quot; label. He also manages several talented groups.<br /> <br /> A proven motion picture and television talent, Jones has had parts in ''The Sentinel'', ''Living Single'', ''Watcher'', ''In Living Color'', ''Married With Children'', ''Dateline'', ''Arliss'', ''The Wayans Brothers'' and such films as ''The Devil's Advocate'', ''New Jersey Turnpikes'', and the final two films of ''The Matrix'' trilogy, recently completed in Australia. Jones also appears on the new video game based on ''The Matrix''. Jones's own video game ''Knock Out Kings'', from EA Sports, makes its debut this fall.<br /> <br /> With all of that, this energetic young superstar, a proud father of three sons, still finds the time to devote many hours speaking to America's youth on the value of education and the perils of drugs. He has also been an advocate of boxing reform and has testified at U.S. Senate hearings on behalf of his fellow boxers.<br /> <br /> &quot;When you have been blessed as I have been,&quot; said Jones, &quot;you have to give something back. If some day I find that I have turned around the life of some troubled young man or woman, I will accept that as an award as great as any I have ever received.&quot;<br /> <br /> ==Comments==<br /> As a unified champion, Jones was upgraded to WBA &quot;super champion&quot; in late 2000 and stripped of his &quot;regular title&quot; only in 2001.<br /> <br /> {{start box}}<br /> {{Succession box|<br /> before=[[James Toney]]&lt;br&gt;Vacated|<br /> title=[[IBF Middleweight Champion]]|<br /> after=[[Bernard Hopkins]]|<br /> years=1993 May 22 &amp;ndash; 1994 Nov 18&lt;br&gt;'''Vacated'''<br /> }}<br /> {{Succession box|<br /> before=[[James Toney]]|<br /> title=[[IBF Super Middleweight Champion]]|<br /> after=[[Charles Brewer]]|<br /> years=1994 Nov 18 &amp;ndash; 1996 Nov 22&lt;br&gt;'''Vacated'''<br /> }}<br /> {{Succession box|<br /> before=[[Fabrice Tiozzo]]&lt;br&gt;Vacated|<br /> title=[[WBC Light Heavyweight Champion]]|<br /> after=[[Montell Griffin]]|<br /> years=1997 Mar &amp;ndash; 1997 Mar 21<br /> }}<br /> {{Succession box|<br /> before=[[Montell Griffin]]|<br /> title=[[WBC Light Heavyweight Champion]]|<br /> after=[[Antonio Tarver]]|<br /> years=1997 Aug 7 &amp;ndash; 2003 Mar 1&lt;br&gt;'''Vacated'''<br /> }}<br /> {{s-bef|rows=2|before=[[Lou Del Valle]]}} <br /> {{s-ttl|rows=2|title=[[WBA Light Heavyweight Champion]] <br /> |years=1998 Jul 18 &amp;ndash; 2000&lt;br&gt;'''Upgraded to Super Champion'''&lt;br&gt;2000 &amp;ndash; 2004 May 15&lt;br&gt;'''Super Champion'''}} <br /> {{s-aft|after=[[Antonio Tarver]]&lt;br&gt;Super Champion}}<br /> |-<br /> {{s-aft|after=[[Bruno Girard]]&lt;br&gt;Regular Champion}}<br /> {{Succession box|<br /> before=[[Reggie Johnson]]|<br /> title=[[IBF Light Heavyweight Champion]]|<br /> after=[[Antonio Tarver]]|<br /> years=1999 Jun 5 &amp;ndash; 2003 Mar 1&lt;br&gt;'''Vacated'''<br /> }}<br /> {{Succession box|<br /> before=[[John Ruiz]]|<br /> title=[[WBA Heavyweight Champion]]|<br /> after=[[John Ruiz]]|<br /> years=2003 Mar 1 &amp;ndash; 2004 Feb 20&lt;br&gt;'''Vacated'''<br /> }}<br /> {{Succession box|<br /> before=[[Antonio Tarver]]|<br /> title=[[WBC Light Heavyweight Champion]]|<br /> after=[[Antonio Tarver]]|<br /> years=2003 Nov 8 &amp;ndash; 2004 May 15<br /> }}<br /> {{end box}}<br /> <br /> {{DEFAULTSORT:Jones Jr., Roy}}<br /> [[Category:African American Boxers]]<br /> [[Category:National Golden Gloves Champions]]<br /> [[Category:1988 Olympians]]<br /> [[Category:American Olympians]]<br /> [[Category:Olympic Silver Medalists]]<br /> [[Category:World Middleweight Champions]]<br /> [[Category:World Super Middleweight Champions]]<br /> [[Category:World Light Heavyweight Champions]]<br /> [[Category:World Heavyweight Champions]]<br /> [[Category:Four Division World Champions]]<br /> [[Category:American World Champions]]<br /> [[Category:NABO Light Heavyweight Champions]]<br /> [[Category:Promoters]]<br /> [[Category:Actors]]</div>

And I kind of out thought him.&quot;<br /> <br /> &quot;What's next?&quot; a visitor asked the 34-year-old WBA heavyweight champion. &quot;I'll think of something,&quot; said Jones with a wide grin.<br /> <br /> Following the celebratory win over Ruiz, [[Antonio Tarver]] was seated, along with the media, in the post-fight press conference. &quot;I want my shot at history, Roy.&quot; Roy eventually had heard enough and on November 8, 2003 at Mandalay Bay in Las Vegas, Jones met Antonio Tarver for ''The Ring'' and WBC light heavyweight title. Jones won by a [[Antonio Tarver vs. Roy Jones Jr. (1st meeting)|12 round majority decision]]. It was Jones's first fight at light heavyweight since beating Ruiz. He had to drop over twenty-five pounds to make the weight and looked physically drained. Jones had to dig down deep, arguably the deepest in his career, to rally during the last two rounds to win.<br /> <br /> The [[Roy Jones Jr. vs. Antonio Tarver (2nd meeting)|Jones-Tarver rematch]] took place on May 15, 2004, again at Mandalay Bay. The action was just starting to warm up when Tarver scored a knockdown midway through the second round. Jones got up just after the referee reached the count of 10 and waved the fight over. After the fight, Roy said, &quot;There ain't no excuses on my part. I come out and do what I do. Guys always get up to fight Roy Jones. It happens like that. I'm a warrior and I'm going to fight. It happens to the best of us.&quot;<br /> <br /> Surprisingly, Jones returned to the ring almost immediately. Not for a tune-up fight, but to fight for a world title. Because that is the only thing Roy Jones knows how to do, fight for world titles. He fought [[Glen Johnson]] for the IBF light heavyweight title on September 25, 2004 in Memphis. For only the third time in Jones's fifty-two fight career, the bout finished in his opponent's favor.<br /> <br /> Thinking of new ways to astonish his legions of followers had never been a problem for this superb athlete. One only has to go back to June 15, 1996 to find a stunning example of Jones's incredible athletic ability and stamina. A few hours before he defended his IBF super middleweight championship against [[Eric Lucas]], Jones spent 15 minutes playing for the Jacksonville Barracudas of the United States Basketball League. He scored six points.<br /> <br /> Defeating Lucas took a little longer. &quot;He was a bit stubborn,&quot; said Jones of the Canadian, who would go on to become a WBC super middleweight champion five years later. He [[Fight:10718|stopped Lucas in the 12th round]]. &quot;That is the last time I do that. It was one long day.&quot;<br /> <br /> Like basketball, fishing, hunting and raising his beloved fighting cocks, music is another of Jones's loves. Several of is own recordings, including ''The Album: Round One'', have been distributed under his own &quot;Body Heat Entertainment&quot; label. He also manages several talented groups.<br /> <br /> A proven motion picture and television talent, Jones has had parts in ''The Sentinel'', ''Living Single'', ''Watcher'', ''In Living Color'', ''Married With Children'', ''Dateline'', ''Arliss'', ''The Wayans Brothers'' and such films as ''The Devil's Advocate'', ''New Jersey Turnpikes'', and the final two films of ''The Matrix'' trilogy, recently completed in Australia. Jones also appears on the new video game based on ''The Matrix''. Jones's own video game ''Knock Out Kings'', from EA Sports, makes its debut this fall.<br /> <br /> With all of that, this energetic young superstar, a proud father of three sons, still finds the time to devote many hours speaking to America's youth on the value of education and the perils of drugs. He has also been an advocate of boxing reform and has testified at U.S. Senate hearings on behalf of his fellow boxers.<br /> <br /> &quot;When you have been blessed as I have been,&quot; said Jones, &quot;you have to give something back. If some day I find that I have turned around the life of some troubled young man or woman, I will accept that as an award as great as any I have ever received.&quot;<br /> <br /> ==Comments==<br /> As a unified champion, Jones was upgraded to WBA &quot;super champion&quot; in late 2000 and stripped of his &quot;regular title&quot; only in 2001.<br /> <br /> {{start box}}<br /> {{Succession box|<br /> before=[[James Toney]]&lt;br&gt;Vacated|<br /> title=[[IBF Middleweight Champion]]|<br /> after=[[Bernard Hopkins]]|<br /> years=1993 May 22 &amp;ndash; 1994 Nov 18&lt;br&gt;'''Vacated'''<br /> }}<br /> {{Succession box|<br /> before=[[James Toney]]|<br /> title=[[IBF Super Middleweight Champion]]|<br /> after=[[Charles Brewer]]|<br /> years=1994 Nov 18 &amp;ndash; 1996 Nov 22&lt;br&gt;'''Vacated'''<br /> }}<br /> {{Succession box|<br /> before=[[Fabrice Tiozzo]]&lt;br&gt;Vacated|<br /> title=[[WBC Light Heavyweight Champion]]|<br /> after=[[Montell Griffin]]|<br /> years=1997 Mar &amp;ndash; 1997 Mar 21<br /> }}<br /> {{Succession box|<br /> before=[[Montell Griffin]]|<br /> title=[[WBC Light Heavyweight Champion]]|<br /> after=[[Antonio Tarver]]|<br /> years=1997 Aug 7 &amp;ndash; 2003 Mar 1&lt;br&gt;'''Vacated'''<br /> }}<br /> {{s-bef|rows=2|before=[[Lou Del Valle]]}} <br /> {{s-ttl|rows=2|title=[[WBA Light Heavyweight Champion]] <br /> |years=1998 Jul 18 &amp;ndash; 2000&lt;br&gt;'''Upgraded to Super Champion'''&lt;br&gt;2000 &amp;ndash; 2004 May 15&lt;br&gt;'''Super Champion'''}} <br /> {{s-aft|after=[[Antonio Tarver]]&lt;br&gt;Super Champion}}<br /> |-<br /> {{s-aft|after=[[Bruno Girard]]&lt;br&gt;Regular Champion}}<br /> {{Succession box|<br /> before=[[Reggie Johnson]]|<br /> title=[[IBF Light Heavyweight Champion]]|<br /> after=[[Antonio Tarver]]|<br /> years=1999 Jun 5 &amp;ndash; 2003 Mar 1&lt;br&gt;'''Vacated'''<br /> }}<br /> {{Succession box|<br /> before=[[John Ruiz]]|<br /> title=[[WBA Heavyweight Champion]]|<br /> after=[[John Ruiz]]|<br /> years=2003 Mar 1 &amp;ndash; 2004 Feb 20&lt;br&gt;'''Vacated'''<br /> }}<br /> {{Succession box|<br /> before=[[Antonio Tarver]]|<br /> title=[[WBC Light Heavyweight Champion]]|<br /> after=[[Antonio Tarver]]|<br /> years=2003 Nov 8 &amp;ndash; 2004 May 15<br /> }}<br /> {{end box}}<br /> <br /> {{DEFAULTSORT:Jones Jr., Roy}}<br /> [[Category:African American Boxers]]<br /> [[Category:National Golden Gloves Champions]]<br /> [[Category:1988 Olympians]]<br /> [[Category:American Olympians]]<br /> [[Category:Olympic Silver Medalists]]<br /> [[Category:World Middleweight Champions]]<br /> [[Category:World Super Middleweight Champions]]<br /> [[Category:World Light Heavyweight Champions]]<br /> [[Category:World Heavyweight Champions]]<br /> [[Category:Four Division World Champions]]<br /> [[Category:American World Champions]]<br /> [[Category:NABO Light Heavyweight Champions]]<br /> [[Category:Promoters]]<br /> [[Category:Actors]]</div>

He won his first couple of fights, before bumping into [[Rustico Torrecampo]], who scored a [[Fight:10312|third-round KO]] over Pacquiao, but the replay clearly showed that Torrecampo hit Pacquiao below the belt. Pacquiao went forward with his career, before fighting [[Chokchai Chockvivat]] for the [[OPBF]] flyweight title. A few fights later in December of 1998, Pacquiao fought [[WBC]] flyweight champion [[Chatchai Sasakul]]. The bout was very even, the champion being elusive and a good counter puncher. Pacquiao won by KO in round eight, after which Sasakul did not get up for a few minutes. Pacquiao's next noteworthy assignment came when he fought [[Lehlohonolo Ledwaba]] for the [[IBF]] [[IBF Super Bantamweight Champion|122 lb title]]. Pacquiao came as a late sub on a few weeks notice and dominated the fight, [[Lehlohonolo Ledwaba vs. Manny Pacquiao|knocking out the champ in six rounds]]. Pacquiao made a string of IBF title defenses before moving up in weight and fighting [[Marco Antonio Barrera]]. Pacquiao boxed well and his southpaw style seemed to be troubling Barrera. Pacquiao knocked down Barrera three times in [[Manny Pacquiao vs. Marco Antonio Barrera (1st meeting)|this fight]]. Next Pacquiao fought [[Juan Manuel Marquez]]. Marquez was down three times in the first round. However, Marquez did come back to win many of the latter rounds and secure a [[Juan Manuel Marquez vs. Manny Pacquiao (1st meeting)|draw]]. Pacquiao was then signed for a match with [[Erik Morales]], at 130 pounds after a rematch with Marquez never materialized, because of Marquez demanding far too much money. In a candidate for Fight of the Year, Morales won a slim [[Manny Pacquiao vs. Erik Morales (1st meeting)|decision]] against Pacquiao, winning on all three judges scorecards by scores of 115-113.<br /> <br /> He came back from the Morales defeat to [[Manny Pacquiao vs. Hector Velazquez|knockout]] [[Human:7879|Hector Velazquez]] in six rounds. In January 2006, Pacquiao scored one of the biggest victories of his career, when he stopped Erik Morales in the 10th round of their [[Manny Pacquiao vs. Erik Morales (2nd meeting)|rematch]], the first stoppage loss of Morales career.<br /> <br /> Pacquiao is extraordinarily popular in the Philippines, where he is currently the most popular athlete in his country. Pacquiao has branched into acting in Filipino movies and various business ventures as well, including a number of commercial endorsements, seen almost everyday on local TV. Pacquiao carried his country's flag at the opening ceremonies of the 2008 Beijing Olympic games.<br /> <br /> ==Regional &amp; Minor Titles==<br /> *OPBF flyweight champion (1997-98)<br /> *WBC International super bantamweight champion (1999-01)<br /> *WBC International super featherweight title (2005-present (Nov 2007))<br /> <br /> ==World Titles==<br /> *WBC flyweight champion (1997-98, lost title when he failed to make weight for title bout)<br /> *IBF super bantamweight champion (2001-03, vacated to fight at featherweight)<br /> *WBC Super Featherweight champion<br /> *WBC Lightweight champion<br /> *WBO Welterweight champion<br /> ==Other Title Claim==<br /> Pacquiao was recognized as champion at featherweight by ''[[The Ring Magazine|The Ring]]'' magazine. The website, Cyber Boxing Zone, also recognizes this claim. Pacquiao vacated his featherweight claim, after his loss to Erik Morales, expressing a desire to continue fighting at 130 pounds.

Pacquiao's next noteworthy assignment came when he fought [[Lehlohonolo Ledwaba]] for the [[IBF]] [[IBF Super Bantamweight Champion|122 lb title]]. Pacquiao came as a late sub on a few weeks notice and dominated the fight, [[Lehlohonolo Ledwaba vs. Manny Pacquiao|knocking out the champ in six rounds]]. Pacquiao made a string of IBF title defenses before moving up in weight and fighting [[Marco Antonio Barrera]]. Pacquiao boxed well and his southpaw style seemed to be troubling Barrera. Pacquiao knocked down Barrera three times in [[Manny Pacquiao vs. Marco Antonio Barrera (1st meeting)|this fight]]. Next Pacquiao fought [[Juan Manuel Marquez]]. Marquez was down three times in the first round. However, Marquez did come back to win many of the latter rounds and secure a [[Juan Manuel Marquez vs. Manny Pacquiao (1st meeting)|draw]]. Pacquiao was then signed for a match with [[Erik Morales]], at 130 pounds after a rematch with Marquez never materialized, because of Marquez demanding far too much money. In a candidate for Fight of the Year, Morales won a slim [[Manny Pacquiao vs. Erik Morales (1st meeting)|decision]] against Pacquiao, winning on all three judges scorecards by scores of 115-113.<br /> <br /> He came back from the Morales defeat to [[Manny Pacquiao vs. Hector Velazquez|knockout]] [[Human:7879|Hector Velazquez]] in six rounds. In January 2006, Pacquiao scored one of the biggest victories of his career, when he stopped Erik Morales in the 10th round of their [[Manny Pacquiao vs. Erik Morales (2nd meeting)|rematch]], the first stoppage loss of Morales career.<br /> <br /> Pacquiao is extraordinarily popular in the Philippines, where he is currently the most popular athlete in his country. Pacquiao has branched into acting in Filipino movies and various business ventures as well, including a number of commercial endorsements, seen almost everyday on local TV. Pacquiao carried his country's flag at the opening ceremonies of the 2008 Beijing Olympic games.<br /> <br /> ==Regional &amp; Minor Titles==<br /> *OPBF flyweight champion (1997-98)<br /> *WBC International super bantamweight champion (1999-01)<br /> *WBC International super featherweight title (2005-present (Nov 2007))<br /> <br /> ==World Titles==<br /> *WBC flyweight champion (1997-98, lost title when he failed to make weight for title bout)<br /> *IBF super bantamweight champion (2001-03, vacated to fight at featherweight)<br /> *WBC Super Featherweight champion<br /> *WBC Lightweight champion<br /> *WBO Welterweight champion<br /> ==Other Title Claim==<br /> Pacquiao was recognized as champion at featherweight by ''[[The Ring Magazine|The Ring]]'' magazine. The website, Cyber Boxing Zone, also recognizes this claim. Pacquiao vacated his featherweight claim, after his loss to Erik Morales, expressing a desire to continue fighting at 130 pounds. Pacquiao knocked out Ricky Hatton on May 2, 2009, to win the [[IBO]] lightwelterweight title.<br /> <br /> ==Awards &amp; Recognition ==<br /> *2006, 2008 &amp; 2009 ESPN &quot;Fighter of the Year&quot;<br /> *2006, 2008 &amp; 2009 [[Ring Magazine Fighter of the Year]]<br /> *2006, 2008 &amp; 2009 [[Boxing Writers Association of America Fighter of the Year]]<br /> *2007 [[World Boxing Hall of Fame]] &quot;Fighter of the Year&quot;<br /> *Voted the 2000-2009 &quot;Fighter of the Decade&quot; by the [[Boxing Writers Association of America]].<br /> <br /> ==External Links==<br /> *[http://mannypacquiao.ph Official website]<br /> *[http://mannypacquiaofan.com Fan site]<br /> *IMDB [http://www.imdb.com/name/nm1301525/ Pacquiao page]<br /> <br /> {{start box}}<br /> {{Succession box|<br /> before=[[Chatchai Sasakul]]|<br /> title=[[WBC Flyweight Champion]]|<br /> after=[[Medgoen Singsurat]]|<br /> years=1998 Dec 4 &amp;ndash; 1999 Sep 17&lt;br&gt;'''Stripped&lt;br&gt;(failed to make weight)'''<br /> }}<br /> {{Succession box|<br /> before=[[Lehlohonolo Ledwaba]]|<br /> title=[[IBF Super Bantamweight Champion]]|<br /> after=[[Israel Vazquez]]|<br /> years=2001 Jun 23 &amp;ndash; 2003&lt;br&gt;'''Vacated'''<br /> }}<br /> {{Succession box|<br /> before=[[Juan Manuel Marquez]]|<br /> title=[[WBC Super Featherweight Champion]]|<br /> after=[[Humberto Soto]]|<br /> years=2008 Mar 15 &amp;ndash; 2008&lt;br&gt;'''Vacated'''|<br /> }}<br /> {{Succession box|<br /> before=[[David Diaz]]|<br /> title=[[WBC Lightweight Champion]]|<br /> after=[[Edwin Valero]]|<br /> years=2008 Jun 28 &amp;ndash; 2009 Feb 24&lt;br&gt;'''Vacated'''|<br /> }}<br /> {{Incumbent succession box|<br /> before=[[Miguel Angel Cotto]]|<br /> title=[[WBO Welterweight Champion]]|<br /> start=2009 Nov 14|<br /> after=&amp;mdash;<br /> }}<br /> {{end box}}<br /> <br /> {{DEFAULTSORT:Pacquiao, Manny}}<br /> [[Category:World Flyweight Champions]]<br /> [[Category:World Super Bantamweight Champions]]<br /> [[Category:World Super Featherweight Champions]]<br /> [[Category:World Lightweight Champions]]<br /> [[Category:World Welterweight Champions]]<br /> [[Category:Five Division World Champions]]<br /> [[Category:Filipino World Champions]]<br /> [[Category:Southpaw World Champions]]<br /> [[Category:Actors]]</div>

A six-time world champion boxer in four different weight classes, a boxing promoter, a minor league pro basketball player, a recording artist, a music 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 light middleweight in the world, a 156-pound kid from Pensacola, Florida with a great deal of promise but a limited recognition factor. He was then robbed by three judges.<br /> <br /> After watching Jones soundly defeat hometown favorite [[Park Si-Hun]] in the light middleweight final, the world was stunned when the South Korean boxer was given the Gold Medal by a score of 3-2. As one boxing expert moaned: &quot;Those blind bums would have given Custer a Gold Medal after the Little Big Horn.&quot;<br /> <br /> One judge immediately admitted the error of his ways. The Moroccan judge said Jones clearly won, but he voted for Park because he was sure that his fellow judges would vote for Jones, and he didn't want the host country's boxer to be embarrassed by losing a 5-0 decision. Despite the loss, Jones was awarded the Val Barker Trophy, given to the Games' outstanding boxer. <br /> <br /> While Park took his tarnished Gold Medal and slipped into obscurity, Jones returned home to begin a brilliant professional campaign that would carry him to five world championships, including a portion of the heavyweight title. Jones spent the better part of a decade regarded as the premier pound-for-pound fighter in the world.<br /> <br /> Jones was ''The Ring'' &quot;Fighter of the Year&quot; in 1994 and was voted the &quot;Fighter of the Decade&quot; for the 1990s by the [[Boxing Writers Association of America]]. He's the former [[IBF]] middleweight champion, IBF super middleweight champion and former undisputed light heavyweight champion. He made eleven successful defenses in unifying the 175-pound division before moving up to heavyweight to fight [[John Ruiz]]. On March 1, 2003, Jones became the first former middleweight champion to win a heavyweight title in over 100 years.<br /> <br /> His only loss during the 1990s came stunningly and surprisingly. On March 21, 1997, Jones defended the [[WBC]] light heavyweight title against [[Montell Griffin]] in Atlantic City. Leading on two of the three scorecards, Jones hurt Griffin with a right hand in the ninth, and Jones, anxious to finish him, hit Griffin twice after he took a knee. Jones was disqualified for the foul.<br /> <br /> Jones's character and sense of fair play triggered the following response to his lawyer/adviser Fred Levin after the fight. &quot;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.&quot;<br /> <br /> Revenge was swift and devastating. Jones regained his WBC belt with a first round thrashing of Griffin, decking him twice before mercifully ending it at the 2:31 mark.<br /> <br /> &quot;Losing that first fight to Griffin was nearly as disappointing as losing the Olympic Gold Medal,&quot; Jones said. &quot;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.&quot;<br /> <br /> Jones gave a hint that he was embarking on a legendary fistic career in 1979, when, at the age of 10, he administered a sound beating to a 14-year-old who outweighed him by 16 pounds. It was Jones's first amateur fight; he weighed just 69 pounds. Before he was done fighting for cups and silver baubles, he would win two National Golden Gloves titles and 121 of 134 bouts.<br /> <br /> On May 6, 1989, fighting before a hometown crowd in Pensacola, Jones [[Fight:3427|stopped]] [[Ricky Randall]] in the second round. This time, when he stepped from the ring, instead of a trophy, they handed him a check. &quot;I loved fighting,&quot; he remembers with a grin, &quot;I just figured it was time I started getting paid to do it.&quot;<br /> <br /> His record grew quickly: four wins in 1989, seven in 1990, four more in 1991, and another five in 1992. Only one of his 20 victories went the distance. All but four of the wins came in Pensacola, a fact hammered by a small army of critics. Ignoring the cries for him to fight tougher opponents in larger arenas, Jones steadily honed the skills that would make him the most feared fighter in the world.<br /> <br /> &quot;I know where I am going and no one is going to hurry my getting there before I am ready,&quot; he told a small circle of friends. On the night of May 22, 1993, Jones fought for his first world title. By then, he had tested his tremendous skill against [[Jorge Vaca]] (49-8-1), [[Jorge Fernando Castro]] (70-3-2) and [[Glenn Thomas]] (24-0). He knew he was ready.<br /> <br /> Jones fought [[Bernard Hopkins]], who boasted (often) of a 22-1 record, in Washington, D.C. for the vacant IBF middleweight championship. When the last shot had been fired, all three judges voted for Jones 116-112.<br /> <br /> Once out of the starting blocks, Jones moved quickly. A blurring left hook kayoed top contender [[Thomas Tate]] in the second round of his [[Fight:8394|first middleweight defense]] on May 27, 1994. Jones's [[James Toney vs. Roy Jones Jr.|signature fight]] came against favored, unbeaten IBF super middleweight champion [[James Toney]] on Nov. 18, 1994.<br /> <br /> In a sensational display, Jones tormented Toney with a dominating performance that featured a taunting move by Jones that Toney tried to mimic, only to have the challenger land a solid blow that sent the champion reeling against the ropes in the third round. Jones got credit for a knockdown and went on to sweep all three judges scores to claim another title.<br /> <br /> Ever looking upward, Jones scored a [[Roy Jones Jr. vs. Mike McCallum|12-round unanimous decision]] over [[Mike McCallum]] to win the interim WBC light heavyweight championship. Before he was done sowing havoc among the 175-pounders, Jones put the division tidily under one flag (WBC, [[WBA]] and IBF). He also won recognition as world light heavyweight champion by ''The Ring''. In his wake, he left eleven challengers bent and bloodied.<br /> <br /> On March 1, 2003, Jones left his mark firmly in boxing history by becoming the first former middleweight champ to win a heavyweight title since [[Bob Fitzsimmons]] turned the trick in 1897. Giving away almost 30 pounds to John Ruiz, Jones earned $10 million to score a remarkably easy [[John Ruiz vs. Roy Jones Jr.|12-round decision]]. He won eight rounds on one scorecard, nine on a second and an amazing ten on the third.<br /> <br /> &quot;I know what people are going to say, but there is nothing wrong with John Ruiz,&quot; said Jones. &quot;Like a lot of other guys I fought, he was just slower than me. And I kind of out thought him.&quot;<br /> <br /> &quot;What's next?&quot; a visitor asked the 34-year-old WBA heavyweight champion. &quot;I'll think of something,&quot; said Jones with a wide grin.<br /> <br /> Following the celebratory win over Ruiz, [[Antonio Tarver]] was seated, along with the media, in the post-fight press conference. &quot;I want my shot at history, Roy.&quot; Roy eventually had heard enough and on November 8, 2003 at Mandalay Bay in Las Vegas, Jones met Antonio Tarver for ''The Ring'' and WBC light heavyweight title. Jones won by a [[Antonio Tarver vs. Roy Jones Jr. (1st meeting)|12 round majority decision]]. It was Jones's first fight at light heavyweight since beating Ruiz. He had to drop over twenty-five pounds to make the weight and looked physically drained. Jones had to dig down deep, arguably the deepest in his career, to rally during the last two rounds to win.<br /> <br /> The [[Roy Jones Jr. vs. Antonio Tarver (2nd meeting)|Jones-Tarver rematch]] took place on May 15, 2004, again at Mandalay Bay. The action was just starting to warm up when Tarver scored a knockdown midway through the second round. Jones got up just after the referee reached the count of 10 and waved the fight over. After the fight, Roy said, &quot;There ain't no excuses on my part. I come out and do what I do. Guys always get up to fight Roy Jones. It happens like that. I'm a warrior and I'm going to fight. It happens to the best of us.&quot;<br /> <br /> Surprisingly, Jones returned to the ring almost immediately. Not for a tune-up fight, but to fight for a world title. Because that is the only thing Roy Jones knows how to do, fight for world titles. He fought [[Glen Johnson]] for the IBF light heavyweight title on September 25, 2004 in Memphis. For only the third time in Jones's fifty-two fight career, the bout finished in his opponent's favor.<br /> <br /> Thinking of new ways to astonish his legions of followers had never been a problem for this superb athlete. One only has to go back to June 15, 1996 to find a stunning example of Jones's incredible athletic ability and stamina. A few hours before he defended his IBF super middleweight championship against [[Eric Lucas]], Jones spent 15 minutes playing for the Jacksonville Barracudas of the United States Basketball League. He scored six points.<br /> <br /> Defeating Lucas took a little longer. &quot;He was a bit stubborn,&quot; said Jones of the Canadian, who would go on to become a WBC super middleweight champion five years later. He [[Fight:10718|stopped Lucas in the 12th round]]. &quot;That is the last time I do that. It was one long day.&quot;<br /> <br /> Like basketball, fishing, hunting and raising his beloved fighting cocks, music is another of Jones's loves. Several of is own recordings, including ''The Album: Round One'', have been distributed under his own &quot;Body Heat Entertainment&quot; label. He also manages several talented groups.<br /> <br /> A proven motion picture and television talent, Jones has had parts in ''The Sentinel'', ''Living Single'', ''Watcher'', ''In Living Color'', ''Married With Children'', ''Dateline'', ''Arliss'', ''The Wayans Brothers'' and such films as ''The Devil's Advocate'', ''New Jersey Turnpikes'', and the final two films of ''The Matrix'' trilogy, recently completed in Australia. Jones also appears on the new video game based on ''The Matrix''. Jones's own video game ''Knock Out Kings'', from EA Sports, makes its debut this fall.<br /> <br /> With all of that, this energetic young superstar, a proud father of three sons, still finds the time to devote many hours speaking to America's youth on the value of education and the perils of drugs. He has also been an advocate of boxing reform and has testified at U.S. Senate hearings on behalf of his fellow boxers.<br /> <br /> &quot;When you have been blessed as I have been,&quot; said Jones, &quot;you have to give something back. If some day I find that I have turned around the life of some troubled young man or woman, I will accept that as an award as great as any I have ever received.&quot;<br /> <br /> ==Comments==<br /> As a unified champion, Jones was upgraded to WBA &quot;super champion&quot; in late 2000 and stripped of his &quot;regular title&quot; only in 2001.<br /> <br /> {{start box}}<br /> {{Succession box|<br /> before=[[James Toney]]&lt;br&gt;Vacated|<br /> title=[[IBF Middleweight Champion]]|<br /> after=[[Bernard Hopkins]]|<br /> years=1993 May 22 &amp;ndash; 1994 Nov 18&lt;br&gt;'''Vacated'''<br /> }}<br /> {{Succession box|<br /> before=[[James Toney]]|<br /> title=[[IBF Super Middleweight Champion]]|<br /> after=[[Charles Brewer]]|<br /> years=1994 Nov 18 &amp;ndash; 1996 Nov 22&lt;br&gt;'''Vacated'''<br /> }}<br /> {{Succession box|<br /> before=[[Fabrice Tiozzo]]&lt;br&gt;Vacated|<br /> title=[[WBC Light Heavyweight Champion]]|<br /> after=[[Montell Griffin]]|<br /> years=1997 Mar &amp;ndash; 1997 Mar 21<br /> }}<br /> {{Succession box|<br /> before=[[Montell Griffin]]|<br /> title=[[WBC Light Heavyweight Champion]]|<br /> after=[[Antonio Tarver]]|<br /> years=1997 Aug 7 &amp;ndash; 2003 Mar 1&lt;br&gt;'''Vacated'''<br /> }}<br /> {{s-bef|rows=2|before=[[Lou Del Valle]]}} <br /> {{s-ttl|rows=2|title=[[WBA Light Heavyweight Champion]] <br /> |years=1998 Jul 18 &amp;ndash; 2000&lt;br&gt;'''Upgraded to Super Champion'''&lt;br&gt;2000 &amp;ndash; 2004 May 15&lt;br&gt;'''Super Champion'''}} <br /> {{s-aft|after=[[Antonio Tarver]]&lt;br&gt;Super Champion}}<br /> |-<br /> {{s-aft|after=[[Bruno Girard]]&lt;br&gt;Regular Champion}}<br /> {{Succession box|<br /> before=[[Reggie Johnson]]|<br /> title=[[IBF Light Heavyweight Champion]]|<br /> after=[[Antonio Tarver]]|<br /> years=1999 Jun 5 &amp;ndash; 2003 Mar 1&lt;br&gt;'''Vacated'''<br /> }}<br /> {{Succession box|<br /> before=[[John Ruiz]]|<br /> title=[[WBA Heavyweight Champion]]|<br /> after=[[John Ruiz]]|<br /> years=2003 Mar 1 &amp;ndash; 2004 Feb 20&lt;br&gt;'''Vacated'''<br /> }}<br /> {{Succession box|<br /> before=[[Antonio Tarver]]|<br /> title=[[WBC Light Heavyweight Champion]]|<br /> after=[[Antonio Tarver]]|<br /> years=2003 Nov 8 &amp;ndash; 2004 May 15<br /> }}<br /> {{end box}}<br /> <br /> {{DEFAULTSORT:Jones Jr., Roy}}<br /> [[Category:African American Boxers]]<br /> [[Category:National Golden Gloves Champions]]<br /> [[Category:1988 Olympians]]<br /> [[Category:American Olympians]]<br /> [[Category:Olympic Silver Medalists]]<br /> [[Category:World Middleweight Champions]]<br /> [[Category:World Super Middleweight Champions]]<br /> [[Category:World Light Heavyweight Champions]]<br /> [[Category:World Heavyweight Champions]]<br /> [[Category:Four Division World Champions]]<br /> [[Category:American World Champions]]<br /> [[Category:NABO Light Heavyweight Champions]]<br /> [[Category:Promoters]]<br /> [[Category:Actors]]</div>

<p>Buckleyjermaine: /* Awards &amp; Recognition */</p> <hr /> <div>[[file:MannyPac.jpg|thumb|left|300px]]<br /> &lt;boxer&gt;006129&lt;/boxer&gt; <br /> '''Trainer:''' [[Freddie Roach]] (2001 - present)&lt;br&gt; <br /> '''Manager:''' [[Shelly Finkel]]&lt;br&gt;<br /> '''[[:Category:Manny Pacquiao Gallery|Manny Pacquiao Gallery]]<br /> &lt;br clear=all&gt;<br /> <br /> '''Manny Pacquiao''', sometimes known simply as &quot;Pac Man,&quot; began his career in 1995, at age 16. He won his first couple of fights, before bumping into [[Rustico Torrecampo]], who scored a [[Fight:10312|third-round KO]] over Pacquiao, but the replay clearly showed that Torrecampo hit Pacquiao below the belt. Pacquiao went forward with his career, before fighting [[Chokchai Chockvivat]] for the [[OPBF]] flyweight title. A few fights later in December of 1998, Pacquiao fought [[WBC]] flyweight champion [[Chatchai Sasakul]]. The bout was very even, the champion being elusive and a good counter puncher. Pacquiao won by KO in round eight, after which Sasakul did not get up for a few minutes. Pacquiao's next noteworthy assignment came when he fought [[Lehlohonolo Ledwaba]] for the [[IBF]] [[IBF Super Bantamweight Champion|122 lb title]]. Pacquiao came as a late sub on a few weeks notice and dominated the fight, [[Lehlohonolo Ledwaba vs. Manny Pacquiao|knocking out the champ in six rounds]]. Pacquiao made a string of IBF title defenses before moving up in weight and fighting [[Marco Antonio Barrera]]. Pacquiao boxed well and his southpaw style seemed to be troubling Barrera. Pacquiao knocked down Barrera three times in [[Manny Pacquiao vs. Marco Antonio Barrera (1st meeting)|this fight]]. Next Pacquiao fought [[Juan Manuel Marquez]]. Marquez was down three times in the first round. However, Marquez did come back to win many of the latter rounds and secure a [[Juan Manuel Marquez vs. Manny Pacquiao (1st meeting)|draw]]. Pacquiao was then signed for a match with [[Erik Morales]], at 130 pounds after a rematch with Marquez never materialized, because of Marquez demanding far too much money. In a candidate for Fight of the Year, Morales won a slim [[Manny Pacquiao vs. Erik Morales (1st meeting)|decision]] against Pacquiao, winning on all three judges scorecards by scores of 115-113.<br /> <br /> He came back from the Morales defeat to [[Manny Pacquiao vs. Hector Velazquez|knockout]] [[Human:7879|Hector Velazquez]] in six rounds. In January 2006, Pacquiao scored one of the biggest victories of his career, when he stopped Erik Morales in the 10th round of their [[Manny Pacquiao vs. Erik Morales (2nd meeting)|rematch]], the first stoppage loss of Morales career.<br /> <br /> Pacquiao is extraordinarily popular in the Philippines, where he is currently the most popular athlete in his country. Pacquiao has branched into acting in Filipino movies and various business ventures as well, including a number of commercial endorsements, seen almost everyday on local TV. Pacquiao carried his country's flag at the opening ceremonies of the 2008 Beijing Olympic games.<br /> <br /> ==Regional &amp; Minor Titles==<br /> *OPBF flyweight champion (1997-98)<br /> *WBC International super bantamweight champion (1999-01)<br /> *WBC International super featherweight title (2005-present (Nov 2007))<br /> <br /> ==World Titles==<br /> *WBC flyweight champion (1997-98, lost title when he failed to make weight for title bout)<br /> *IBF super bantamweight champion (2001-03, vacated to fight at featherweight)<br /> *WBC Super Featherweight champion<br /> *WBC Lightweight champion<br /> *WBO Welterweight champion<br /> ==Other Title Claim==<br /> Pacquiao was recognized as champion at featherweight by ''[[The Ring Magazine|The Ring]]'' magazine. The website, Cyber Boxing Zone, also recognizes this claim. Pacquiao vacated his featherweight claim, after his loss to Erik Morales, expressing a desire to continue fighting at 130 pounds. Pacquiao knocked out Ricky Hatton on May 2, 2009, to win the [[IBO]] lightwelterweight title.<br /> <br /> ==Awards &amp; Recognition ==<br /> *2006 &amp; 2008 ESPN &quot;Fighter of the Year&quot;<br /> *2006 &amp; 2008 [[Ring Magazine Fighter of the Year]]<br /> *2006 &amp; 2008 [[Boxing Writers Association of America Fighter of the Year]]<br /> *2007 [[World Boxing Hall of Fame]] &quot;Fighter of the Year&quot;<br /> *Voted the &quot;World's Greatest Ever Featherweight&quot; in 2009 from a fan poll on greatestever.com<br /> <br /> ==External Links==<br /> *[http://mannypacquiao.ph Official website]<br /> *[http://mannypacquiaofan.com Fan site]<br /> *IMDB [http://www.imdb.com/name/nm1301525/ Pacquiao page]<br /> <br /> {{start box}}<br /> {{Succession box|<br /> before=[[Chatchai Sasakul]]|<br /> title=[[WBC Flyweight Champion]]|<br /> after=[[Medgoen Singsurat]]|<br /> years=1998 Dec 4 &amp;ndash; 1999 Sep 17&lt;br&gt;'''Stripped&lt;br&gt;(failed to make weight)'''<br /> }}<br /> {{Succession box|<br /> before=[[Lehlohonolo Ledwaba]]|<br /> title=[[IBF Super Bantamweight Champion]]|<br /> after=[[Israel Vazquez]]|<br /> years=2001 Jun 23 &amp;ndash; 2003&lt;br&gt;'''Vacated'''<br /> }}<br /> {{Succession box|<br /> before=[[Juan Manuel Marquez]]|<br /> title=[[WBC Super Featherweight Champion]]|<br /> after=[[Humberto Soto]]|<br /> years=2008 Mar 15 &amp;ndash; 2008&lt;br&gt;'''Vacated'''|<br /> }}<br /> {{Succession box|<br /> before=[[David Diaz]]|<br /> title=[[WBC Lightweight Champion]]|<br /> after=[[Edwin Valero]]|<br /> years=2008 Jun 28 &amp;ndash; 2009 Feb 24&lt;br&gt;'''Vacated'''|<br /> }}<br /> {{Incumbent succession box|<br /> before=[[Miguel Angel Cotto]]|<br /> title=[[WBO Welterweight Champion]]|<br /> start=2009 Nov 14|<br /> after=&amp;mdash;<br /> }}<br /> {{end box}}<br /> <br /> {{DEFAULTSORT:Pacquiao, Manny}}<br /> [[Category:World Flyweight Champions]]<br /> [[Category:World Super Bantamweight Champions]]<br /> [[Category:World Super Featherweight Champions]]<br /> [[Category:World Lightweight Champions]]<br /> [[Category:World Welterweight Champions]]<br /> [[Category:Five Division World Champions]]<br /> [[Category:Filipino World Champions]]<br /> [[Category:Southpaw World Champions]]<br /> [[Category:Actors]]</div>

BBC Sports, former WBA president Bill Brennan, ''The Ring'' editor-in-chief Nigel Collins, former ''Boxing Illustrated'' editor-in-chief Herbert G. Goldman, ''Showtime'' commentator Steve Farhood, and historian Arthur Harris all consider Ali to be the greatest heavyweight of all-time.<br /> <br /> <br /> ==Reference sources==<br /> <br /> * [http://www.ali.com/ Official website]<br /> <br /> * ''[http://nla.gov.au/nla.cat-vn1659947 Ali, the fighting prophet]'' / Gilbert Odd with a foreword by Henry Cooper (1975, ISBN 0720708451)<br /> * ''[http://nla.gov.au/nla.cat-vn2057974 Black is best: the riddle of Cassius Clay]'' / Jack Olsen (1967)<br /> * ''[http://nla.gov.au/nla.cat-vn2489745 Cassius Clay: a biography]'' / Jack Olsen (1967)<br /> * ''[http://nla.gov.au/nla.cat-vn3019601 Cassius Clay ante el racismo]'' / Jose Laurino (1969)<br /> * ''[http://nla.gov.au/nla.cat-vn2494526 Le champion]'' / Robert Gurik (c1977, ISBN 0776100653)<br /> * ''[http://nla.gov.au/nla.cat-vn2194423 Facing Ali : the opposition weighs in]'' / Stephen Brunt (2002, ISBN 0676973507)<br /> * ''[http://nla.gov.au/nla.cat-vn331046 The fight]'' / Norman Mailer (1975 - 1st edition, ISBN 0316544167)<br /> * ''[http://nla.gov.au/nla.cat-vn2978330 The fight]'' / Norman Mailer (1976, ISBN 0246109505)<br /> * ''[http://nla.gov.au/nla.cat-vn244559 The greatest: my own story]'' / Muhammad Ali with Richard Durham (c1975 - 1st edition, ISBN 0394462688)<br /> * ''[http://nla.gov.au/nla.cat-vn1119292 The greatest: my own story]'' / Muhammad Ali with Richard Durham (1976, ISBN 0246109440)<br /> * ''[http://nla.gov.au/nla.cat-vn2865330 I'm the greatest: the wit and humour of Muhammad Ali]'' / cartoons by Roy Ullyett and Jon (1975, ISBN 0856321427 and 0856321494 (pbk))<br /> * ''[http://nla.gov.au/nla.cat-vn94569 King of the world: Muhammad Ali and the rise of an American hero]'' / David Remnick (c1998, ISBN 0375500650)<br /> * ''[http://nla.gov.au/nla.cat-vn1218886 Men of destiny: the story of Muhammad Ali, formerly Cassius Clay]'' / John Cottrell (1967)<br /> * ''[http://nla.gov.au/nla.cat-vn1333950 Muhammad Ali: his fights in the ring]'' / Robert Walker (1979, ISBN 017005571X)<br /> * ''[http://nla.gov.au/nla.cat-vn2786653 Muhammad Ali retrospective]'' / Henry James Korn (1976, ISBN 0909331146)<br /> * ''[http://nla.gov.au/nla.cat-vn314318 Muhammad Ali's greatest fight: Cassius Clay vs. the United States of America]'' / Howard Bingham and Max Wallace (c2000, ISBN 0871319004)<br /> * ''[http://nla.gov.au/nla.cat-vn1974435 Redemption song: Muhammad Ali and the spirit of the sixties]'' / Mike Marqusee (1999, ISBN 185984717X)<br /> * ''[http://nla.gov.au/nla.cat-vn1015301 Sting like a bee: the Muhammad Ali story]'' (1971, ISBN 0200718401)<br /> * ''[http://nla.gov.au/nla.cat-vn1103339 Sting like a bee: the Muhammad Ali story]'' / Jose Torres and Bert Randolph Sugar (2002, ISBN 0074712004)<br /> <br /> * ''[http://nla.gov.au/nla.cat-vn310852 Black superman]'' / words and music by Johnny Wakelin (c1974) - ''&quot;A tribute to the black superman Muhammad Ali&quot;''<br /> * ''[http://nla.gov.au/nla.cat-vn3120384 In Zaire]'' / words and music by Johnny Wakelin (c1976)<br /> <br /> <br /> {{start box}}<br /> {{Succession box|<br /> before=[[Sonny Liston]]|<br /> title=[[WBA Heavyweight Champion]]|<br /> after=[[Ernie Terrell]]|<br /> years=1964 Feb 25 &amp;ndash;

A six-time world champion boxer in four different weight classes, a boxing promoter, a minor league pro basketball player, a recording artist, a music 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 light middleweight in the world, a 156-pound kid from Pensacola, Florida with a great deal of promise but a limited recognition factor. He was then robbed by three judges.<br /> <br /> After watching Jones soundly defeat hometown favorite [[Park Si-Hun]] in the light middleweight final, the world was stunned when the South Korean boxer was given the Gold Medal by a score of 3-2. As one boxing expert moaned: &quot;Those blind bums would have given Custer a Gold Medal after the Little Big Horn.&quot;<br /> <br /> One judge immediately admitted the error of his ways. The Moroccan judge said Jones clearly won, but he voted for Park because he was sure that his fellow judges would vote for Jones, and he didn't want the host country's boxer to be embarrassed by losing a 5-0 decision. Despite the loss, Jones was awarded the Val Barker Trophy, given to the Games' outstanding boxer. <br /> <br /> While Park took his tarnished Gold Medal and slipped into obscurity, Jones returned home to begin a brilliant professional campaign that would carry him to five world championships, including a portion of the heavyweight title. Jones spent the better part of a decade regarded as the premier pound-for-pound fighter in the world.<br /> <br /> Jones was ''The Ring'' &quot;Fighter of the Year&quot; in 1994 and was voted the &quot;Fighter of the Decade&quot; for the 1990s by the [[Boxing Writers Association of America]]. He's the former [[IBF]] middleweight champion, IBF super middleweight champion and former undisputed light heavyweight champion. He made eleven successful defenses in unifying the 175-pound division before moving up to heavyweight to fight [[John Ruiz]]. On March 1, 2003, Jones became the first former middleweight champion to win a heavyweight title in over 100 years.<br /> <br /> His only loss during the 1990s came stunningly and surprisingly. On March 21, 1997, Jones defended the [[WBC]] light heavyweight title against [[Montell Griffin]] in Atlantic City. Leading on two of the three scorecards, Jones hurt Griffin with a right hand in the ninth, and Jones, anxious to finish him, hit Griffin twice after he took a knee. Jones was disqualified for the foul.<br /> <br /> Jones's character and sense of fair play triggered the following response to his lawyer/adviser Fred Levin after the fight. &quot;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.&quot;<br /> <br /> Revenge was swift and devastating. Jones regained his WBC belt with a first round thrashing of Griffin, decking him twice before mercifully ending it at the 2:31 mark.<br /> <br /> &quot;Losing that first fight to Griffin was nearly as disappointing as losing the Olympic Gold Medal,&quot; Jones said. &quot;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.&quot;<br /> <br /> Jones gave a hint that he was embarking on a legendary fistic career in 1979, when, at the age of 10, he administered a sound beating to a 14-year-old who outweighed him by 16 pounds. It was Jones's first amateur fight; he weighed just 69 pounds. Before he was done fighting for cups and silver baubles, he would win two National Golden Gloves titles and 121 of 134 bouts.<br /> <br /> On May 6, 1989, fighting before a hometown crowd in Pensacola, Jones [[Fight:3427|stopped]] [[Ricky Randall]] in the second round. This time, when he stepped from the ring, instead of a trophy, they handed him a check. &quot;I loved fighting,&quot; he remembers with a grin, &quot;I just figured it was time I started getting paid to do it.&quot;<br /> <br /> His record grew quickly: four wins in 1989, seven in 1990, four more in 1991, and another five in 1992. Only one of his 20 victories went the distance. All but four of the wins came in Pensacola, a fact hammered by a small army of critics. Ignoring the cries for him to fight tougher opponents in larger arenas, Jones steadily honed the skills that would make him the most feared fighter in the world.<br /> <br /> &quot;I know where I am going and no one is going to hurry my getting there before I am ready,&quot; he told a small circle of friends. On the night of May 22, 1993, Jones fought for his first world title. By then, he had tested his tremendous skill against [[Jorge Vaca]] (49-8-1), [[Jorge Fernando Castro]] (70-3-2) and [[Glenn Thomas]] (24-0). He knew he was ready.<br /> <br /> Jones fought [[Bernard Hopkins]], who boasted (often) of a 22-1 record, in Washington, D.C. for the vacant IBF middleweight championship. When the last shot had been fired, all three judges voted for Jones 116-112.<br /> <br /> Once out of the starting blocks, Jones moved quickly. A blurring left hook kayoed top contender [[Thomas Tate]] in the second round of his [[Fight:8394|first middleweight defense]] on May 27, 1994. Jones's [[James Toney vs. Roy Jones Jr.|signature fight]] came against favored, unbeaten IBF super middleweight champion [[James Toney]] on Nov. 18, 1994.<br /> <br /> In a sensational display, Jones tormented Toney with a dominating performance that featured a taunting move by Jones that Toney tried to mimic, only to have the challenger land a solid blow that sent the champion reeling against the ropes in the third round. Jones got credit for a knockdown and went on to sweep all three judges scores to claim another title.<br /> <br /> Ever looking upward, Jones scored a [[Roy Jones Jr. vs. Mike McCallum|12-round unanimous decision]] over [[Mike McCallum]] to win the interim WBC light heavyweight championship. Before he was done sowing havoc among the 175-pounders, Jones put the division tidily under one flag (WBC, [[WBA]] and IBF). He also won recognition as world light heavyweight champion by ''The Ring''. In his wake, he left eleven challengers bent and bloodied.<br /> <br /> On March 1, 2003, Jones left his mark firmly in boxing history by becoming the first former middleweight champ to win a heavyweight title since [[Bob Fitzsimmons]] turned the trick in 1897. Giving away almost 30 pounds to John Ruiz, Jones earned $10 million to score a remarkably easy [[John Ruiz vs. Roy Jones Jr.|12-round decision]]. He won eight rounds on one scorecard, nine on a second and an amazing ten on the third.<br /> <br /> &quot;I know what people are going to say, but there is nothing wrong with John Ruiz,&quot; said Jones. &quot;Like a lot of other guys I fought, he was just slower than me. And I kind of out thought him.&quot;<br /> <br /> &quot;What's next?&quot; a visitor asked the 34-year-old WBA heavyweight champion. &quot;I'll think of something,&quot; said Jones with a wide grin.<br /> <br /> Following the celebratory win over Ruiz, [[Antonio Tarver]] was seated, along with the media, in the post-fight press conference. &quot;I want my shot at history, Roy.&quot; Roy eventually had heard enough and on November 8, 2003 at Mandalay Bay in Las Vegas, Jones met Antonio Tarver for ''The Ring'' and WBC light heavyweight title. Jones won by a [[Antonio Tarver vs. Roy Jones Jr. (1st meeting)|12 round majority decision]]. It was Jones's first fight at light heavyweight since beating Ruiz. He had to drop over twenty-five pounds to make the weight and looked physically drained. Jones had to dig down deep, arguably the deepest in his career, to rally during the last two rounds to win.<br /> <br /> The [[Roy Jones Jr. vs. Antonio Tarver (2nd meeting)|Jones-Tarver rematch]] took place on May 15, 2004, again at Mandalay Bay. The action was just starting to warm up when Tarver scored a knockdown midway through the second round. Jones got up just after the referee reached the count of 10 and waved the fight over. After the fight, Roy said, &quot;There ain't no excuses on my part. I come out and do what I do. Guys always get up to fight Roy Jones. It happens like that. I'm a warrior and I'm going to fight. It happens to the best of us.&quot;<br /> <br /> Surprisingly, Jones returned to the ring almost immediately. Not for a tune-up fight, but to fight for a world title. Because that is the only thing Roy Jones knows how to do, fight for world titles. He fought [[Glen Johnson]] for the IBF light heavyweight title on September 25, 2004 in Memphis. For only the third time in Jones's fifty-two fight career, the bout finished in his opponent's favor.<br /> <br /> Thinking of new ways to astonish his legions of followers had never been a problem for this superb athlete. One only has to go back to June 15, 1996 to find a stunning example of Jones's incredible athletic ability and stamina. A few hours before he defended his IBF super middleweight championship against [[Eric Lucas]], Jones spent 15 minutes playing for the Jacksonville Barracudas of the United States Basketball League. He scored six points.<br /> <br /> Defeating Lucas took a little longer. &quot;He was a bit stubborn,&quot; said Jones of the Canadian, who would go on to become a WBC super middleweight champion five years later. He [[Fight:10718|stopped Lucas in the 12th round]]. &quot;That is the last time I do that. It was one long day.&quot;<br /> <br /> Like basketball, fishing, hunting and raising his beloved fighting cocks, music is another of Jones's loves. Several of is own recordings, including ''The Album: Round One'', have been distributed under his own &quot;Body Heat Entertainment&quot; label. He also manages several talented groups.<br /> <br /> A proven motion picture and television talent, Jones has had parts in ''The Sentinel'', ''Living Single'', ''Watcher'', ''In Living Color'', ''Married With Children'', ''Dateline'', ''Arliss'', ''The Wayans Brothers'' and such films as ''The Devil's Advocate'', ''New Jersey Turnpikes'', and the final two films of ''The Matrix'' trilogy, recently completed in Australia. Jones also appears on the new video game based on ''The Matrix''. Jones's own video game ''Knock Out Kings'', from EA Sports, makes its debut this fall.<br /> <br /> With all of that, this energetic young superstar, a proud father of three sons, still finds the time to devote many hours speaking to America's youth on the value of education and the perils of drugs. He has also been an advocate of boxing reform and has testified at U.S. Senate hearings on behalf of his fellow boxers.<br /> <br /> &quot;When you have been blessed as I have been,&quot; said Jones, &quot;you have to give something back. If some day I find that I have turned around the life of some troubled young man or woman, I will accept that as an award as great as any I have ever received.&quot;<br /> <br /> ==Comments==<br /> As a unified champion, Jones was upgraded to WBA &quot;super champion&quot; in late 2000 and stripped of his &quot;regular title&quot; only in 2001.<br /> <br /> {{start box}}<br /> {{Succession box|<br /> before=[[James Toney]]&lt;br&gt;Vacated|<br /> title=[[IBF Middleweight Champion]]|<br /> after=[[Bernard Hopkins]]|<br /> years=1993 May 22 &amp;ndash; 1994 Nov 18&lt;br&gt;'''Vacated'''<br /> }}<br /> {{Succession box|<br /> before=[[James Toney]]|<br /> title=[[IBF Super Middleweight Champion]]|<br /> after=[[Charles Brewer]]|<br /> years=1994 Nov 18 &amp;ndash; 1996 Nov 22&lt;br&gt;'''Vacated'''<br /> }}<br /> {{Succession box|<br /> before=[[Fabrice Tiozzo]]&lt;br&gt;Vacated|<br /> title=[[WBC Light Heavyweight Champion]]|<br /> after=[[Montell Griffin]]|<br /> years=1997 Mar &amp;ndash; 1997 Mar 21<br /> }}<br /> {{Succession box|<br /> before=[[Montell Griffin]]|<br /> title=[[WBC Light Heavyweight Champion]]|<br /> after=[[Antonio Tarver]]|<br /> years=1997 Aug 7 &amp;ndash; 2003 Mar 1&lt;br&gt;'''Vacated'''<br /> }}<br /> {{s-bef|rows=2|before=[[Lou Del Valle]]}} <br /> {{s-ttl|rows=2|title=[[WBA Light Heavyweight Champion]] <br /> |years=1998 Jul 18 &amp;ndash; 2000&lt;br&gt;'''Upgraded to Super Champion'''&lt;br&gt;2000 &amp;ndash; 2004 May 15&lt;br&gt;'''Super Champion'''}} <br /> {{s-aft|after=[[Antonio Tarver]]&lt;br&gt;Super Champion}}<br /> |-<br /> {{s-aft|after=[[Bruno Girard]]&lt;br&gt;Regular Champion}}<br /> {{Succession box|<br /> before=[[Reggie Johnson]]|<br /> title=[[IBF Light Heavyweight Champion]]|<br /> after=[[Antonio Tarver]]|<br /> years=1999 Jun 5 &amp;ndash; 2003 Mar 1&lt;br&gt;'''Vacated'''<br /> }}<br /> {{Succession box|<br /> before=[[John Ruiz]]|<br /> title=[[WBA Heavyweight Champion]]|<br /> after=[[John Ruiz]]|<br /> years=2003 Mar 1 &amp;ndash; 2004 Feb 20&lt;br&gt;'''Vacated'''<br /> }}<br /> {{Succession box|<br /> before=[[Antonio Tarver]]|<br /> title=[[WBC Light Heavyweight Champion]]|<br /> after=[[Antonio Tarver]]|<br /> years=2003 Nov 8 &amp;ndash; 2004 May 15<br /> }}<br /> {{end box}}<br /> <br /> {{DEFAULTSORT:Jones Jr., Roy}}<br /> [[Category:African American Boxers]]<br /> [[Category:National Golden Gloves Champions]]<br /> [[Category:1988 Olympians]]<br /> [[Category:American Olympians]]<br /> [[Category:Olympic Silver Medalists]]<br /> [[Category:World Middleweight Champions]]<br /> [[Category:World Super Middleweight Champions]]<br /> [[Category:World Light Heavyweight Champions]]<br /> [[Category:World Heavyweight Champions]]<br /> [[Category:Four Division World Champions]]<br /> [[Category:American World Champions]]<br /> [[Category:NABO Light Heavyweight Champions]]<br /> [[Category:Promoters]]<br /> [[Category:Actors]]</div>
