Jab (Lead Leg Angling Right)->Cross
One of Jones' uglier but ultimately extremely effective techniques was jumping off to the right as he jabbed and then coming back in with his right hand. This he did extremely well against southpaws as you can see below.
Jumping off to the right with a jab against an opponent who is not acting the aggressor is actually pretty difficult to do and you don't see it all that often. Muhammad Ali used it against Cleveland Williams and Sonny Liston liked to do it a lot, but it often involves crossing one's feet over to move enough distance to the side to have any effect. Jones' footwork was both explosive and sublime.
Obviously there is a great deal more to say about Roy Jones' game but I simply want to brush on the greatness of the fighters I am looking at in this series, hopefully whetting readers appetites for more detailed analysis at a later date.
