No Prime SMW in the last 20 years Beats Prime Roy Jones...Nope

You are bashing Roy for not committing suicide against Lennox who is a massive ATG HW and H2H beast.. Roy used to be a JMW.. John Ruiz was a legit top 10 HW and a belt holder.. That win is impressive no matter how you shake it. If it wasn't impressive more would have done it.

Again, bashing Roy for fighting Tarver instead of DM? By the time of the Tarver fight, DM lost to Gonzalez, a fighter Roy wiped the floor with.. Tarver was the best LHW in the world and the most dangerous when Roy dropped from HW and beat him.. Again, something only few have done in history.

I think its funny when people hate Roy and say he did nothing, and ride Calzaghe's nuts at the same time, who is just as guilty for fighting a long string of bums and does not have as many good wins as Roy.

 

Roy Jones Jnr was a drug cheat, plain and simple!!!

 

Who are the idiots that says otherwise?

 

Mind Reader, you are dedicated to your craft, I'll say that. :deal

 

I have to say..

You have mastered the fine art of your craft as well.:rofl

 

I favor that version of Roy against anyone in or around his weight. ANYONE.

 

What's the deal on this site? People tell me that Andre Ward is the new Messiah. Is this true? :roflatsch

 

He certainly is a good fighter...

I still have Calzaghe as the greatest SMW though. Would pick prime Calzaghe to beat him as well.

 

Agreed...

There are a handful of LHWs that would have been trouble for Roy....

Its MW and SMW where I have a hard time picking someone over him.

 

If Andre Ward decided to take chances, if he decided, wow, this is the fight i have to prove to the world.

then I think Andre Ward beats him. he'd be all over jones like a rash.

Roy could be the first boxer to be brutally KO'd on every continent, hope he does that. and then says buh bye

 

I didn't say he was a lock to beat those guys, only that I favored him. His athleticism, stamina and reflexes make him a nightmare to hit, regardless of his shaky chin.

 

I agree.

 

Roy jones never FOUGHT the elite fighters at any weight division he boxed in

WHY GO TO HW IF YOUR NOT GOING TO FIGHT THE BEST?....

A win over John Ruiz wasn't impressive and more did do it

James toney showed the world how jones jr did it...The only difference is Toney got caught...... roy did not :deal




why go back down to LHW IF YOUR NOT GOING TO FIGHT THE BEST?....

DM GOT BEAT AFTER JONES VS TARVER 1

Dariusz Michalczewski called him out but roy jones signed to fight
A 35yr old man that just won 2 vacant titles and lost to a guy he beatatsch


Dariusz Michalczewski VS Roy jones could've happen at the end of 2003

Michalczewsk wanted it....roy jones did not......they both end up getting beat at the end of that year:deal

 

James Toney beat Ruiz.. Roy destroyed Toney another elite fighter, you are giving him no credit for..... i am sure Roy was tested moving up to HW too... He also had one of the best conditioning coaches in the entire world.

Roy beat Tarver almost a month after Gonzalez beat DM....

You are obviously a troll..

I am done talking.

 

DM's claim to be "THE" LHW champion was dismissed when he lost to Gonzalez... I did not consider Gonzalez the man at that point.. It was clearly Tarver... Roy won a hard fought fight.. There goes the argument that Roy never beat the best at LHW...

Just as that new lineage was formed, it is still going.. and "THE" man at LHW, won lineage through Roy.
