The Unpopular Opinion Thread

Yes I'm so sad :-( I've seen your kind before, ill gladly throw down the gauntlet with someone of your low caliber.

 

There is not a middleweght, supermiddleweight or light heavyweight in history that could beat prime Roy Jones.

Heavyweight Champions after Jack Johnson and before Joe Louis should not be considered 'great'.

Prime Lennox beats Prime Tyson.

 

Love this thread. Boxing fans have some dirty secrets...

 

Quite a few Light Heavys that'd beat Roy IMO.

 

:bart

 

Hey, he's one of my favourite fighters and the man that got me into the sport. But the likes of Bob Foster, Mike Spinks, Saad, Conteh, Charles, Moore, Galindez...I can't possibly say Roy would be favourite over all of them.

Mike Spinks, that would be the guy I'd be certain to beat Jones.

 

I know the names. But no.:bart

 

Wow. Great counter argument. May I presume you've never seen a single fight of any of the guys I put forward?

 

My unpopular opinion is that Jones beats those guys. You disagreeing isnt an argument for me as I knew it would be unpopular when I posted it.

And yes I have seen those light heavies, Conteh is a particular favourite of mine.

 

That's fair enough, I feel he loses his H2H invincibility at the weight.

 

Copy that. Vastly overrated by many. Surely an atg but not Top30 pfp or Top10, perhaps not even Top15, lhw material.

Bubi Scholz would have been mw champ if he would have gotten a shot.

 

This shouldn't be controversial but it tends to be;

Herol Graham was not the best British boxer never to win a world title.

 

There are people who disagree? :huh

 

But possibly a 40 to 50 pfp, or top 50 lhw, perhaps a 16 to 20 eagle scout but then again less than 100, but no more than 200 in javlin throwing....
Holy Muhammad Akbar Bin Laden! WTF have you been sniffing, the explosive powder you're supposed to be packing into your bomb vest?

 

Prime Mike Tyson would have trouble with Ray Mercer.
