    I think he should have fought Lennox in 2003.

    Lewis was done in 2003 (well by his supreme standards, he was done. Even a shot 04 version of Lennox will clean out today's division outside of Wladimir)

    Come on dude, Roy Jones fighting Lennox Lewis is like Lennox Lewis fighting Godzilla. "Oh but Godzilla getting a little old!"

    One of the best to ever lace em up ..Not too many fighters that have both speed and power along with amazing defense .Almost the complete package as a boxer .

    Haye knocks this guy out at HW or CW. This just goes to show just how underrated The Hayemaker really is.

    :deal

    Not even close.Did he ever dominate even one division ? His HW " reign " was a joke, doesnt even count in my book and he didnt fight the best. Also he was a steroid abusing cheat.One of his 2 defining fights ( Hopkins ) was an absolute stinker aghainst a green Bernard but seems to have taken on mythical status .And im a fan of Jones believe it or not.

    So yeah, best ever, definately.

    the only people on here that said Chisora had a good Chin were the Brits because just about all their fighters have Glass Jaws :lol::rofl:patsch

    He looked brilliant but you have to ask you this, would he have looked as brilliant if he didn't use steroids and if he faced better opposition?

    Lennox would have knocked Jones out with a Jab.

    Your really think if all boxers took PED's they could have even come close to boxing like Jones? This really needs to stop ..What he was popped for his opponent was on the same thing and tested higher did that help out his boxing skills ?

    The Roy Jones that was in the ring against Malinga (Benn and Robin Reid's daddy) was a bad, bad man.
