Fresh off his victory over Jeff Lacy, Roy Jones Jr. is convinced he is back on top. In fact Jones Jr. feels he is the pound for pound best in the sport and not Manny Pacquiao.

In a statement sent to us here at Doghouse Boxing, Jones Jr stated that on Saturday night he proved he had the best hook in the industry. “I showed on Saturday night against Jeff Lacy that I have the best hook in the business,” stated Jones, adding: “And I am the only one that can throw either one of those hooks 5 or 6 at a time."

In regards to the Pound for Pound best title, Jones Jr. feels that people have it all wrong. “As far as the pound-for-pound best goes, they’ve got it all messed up. It’s not supposed to be a fashion show, but it has turned into that." Jones went on to say that the P4P title is about being the best boxer, effective speed, as well as combinations and power.

In regards to fighters such as Pacquiao and Hopkins as P4P fighters, Jones Jr. stated: “Manny Pacquiao is at the top of the list and is a great fighter, but even he has not displayed a better hook. Bernard Hopkins can’t throw three or four hooks at one time and he is not as entertaining to watch than I am right now."
