Roy Jones Jr vs Sugar Ray Leonard resume comparison

A tie?

 

One elephant in the room is that Roy edged Tarver in the first fight, but Tarver badly damaged his legacy overall.

 

You forgot Malinga. Arguably a top 3 win for Roy.

In terms of just Ws it's Leonard. Those are just insane. Jones's case is how easy he made it look. Malinga is a great example. A guy who maybe could have been 3-0 againsr Benn and Eubank, and he just didn't stand a chance against Roy. I never seen a fighter consistently make quality opposition seem so absolutely hapless as Jones did.

 

I think that Ray will always get the vote.

 

Roy was great, phenominal. And still to this day is the greatest talent ever, but Ray's resume is better imo

 

It didn't help.
