Roy Jones the most overrated fighter in history & afraid to lose. Just hear me out...

IKNOWBOXING, do you know Jones has never fought anyone named "Griffith" and that, in fact, not only invalidates this ridiculous post, but your username in general?

 

Who's not overratted ?Isn't this your 2nd thread regarding this ? How many more do we go coming ?

 

What you (IknowBoxing) and alot of people don't realize is that it wasn't jones opponents that were bad but it was more Jones was that much better than everyone

Prime example is how good Marquez is compared to the skill of Mayweather!!

Marquez was considered the #2 P4P by every list!!!!!!

You probably need to go back and watch Roy in his prime, not the 40 year old Roy vs Calzaghe!!!

 

Pleaseeeeeeeeee!! This is awful. The dude beat immence fighters, you cant beat Hopkins with one hand, win every round against Toney, stop clinton woods, stop Vinny Paz, win every round against a fuly fledged heavyweight who still fights for titles in Ruiz bare in mind jones came from middleweight originally, beat tarver, stop hill. There only a few!!

 

You are an abominably poor poster.

 

I think Roy had atg skills, but just refused to fight the best time and time again

He should have fought Michalczewski

His resumee doesn't look impressive at all

 

atsch You've basically just used any criticism and rumor to make what YOU think is an educated post. This is purely fanboy rubbish. You really haven't even made any points. You're just trolling hoping to catch a bite...

 

Very true!!!:good

 

Amazingly I actually agree with some of your points. However I do think that a prime Roy was great and capable of dominating anyone. He would have whupped Michalzewski but i do agree that he ducked him. Also agree with your points on him getting ktfod by Johnson,Tarver who are not great fighters. Jones probably has the best natural gifts of all time,but he did lack some of the other ingrediants like you mentioned.

 

Log off man you don't know boxing. Who's nexton your overrated list? Sugar ray Leonard.

 

Roy fought:

James Toney
Bernard Hopkins
Virgil Hill
Mike McCallum
Montell Griffin
Antonio Tarver
Glenn Johnson
Clinton Woods


Some of those dudes are Hall of Famers and countless others who had undefeated records!!

Are you crazy!!!

 

he has to be, why else would he start this thread?? because he has a legitimate argument??

 

Once again, I should probably resist the urge to respond to a troll, but here goes.

Jones fought everyone he should have fought, save for Darius.

BTW, when did Darius challenge him ?

As i recall, neither one was overly anxious to face the other.


Darius wouldn't come to America and Jones, who was robbed of a gold medal by Korean judges, was understandably reluctant to go to Darius.

Other posters have cited lists of fighters he should have faced and I've generally shown such lists to be steeped in error or outright falsehood or meaningless AT THE TIME. Hindsight is 20-20.

Complete horse**** !

Roy was ahead on the scorecards and well on the way to a victory when he got a little over-enthusiastic after knocking Griffin down.

He was pissed off in the rematch and showed how utterly devastating he could be when so-motivated.

A brutal first round KO of Toney's two-time daddy, Montel Griffin, leaving absolutely no doubt as to who was the better man.

Before he KO'd him, he stalked him and backed him up. Even Griffin clearly knew he was in with a Jones of a different mood. His body language indicated intimidation.

You're ****ing laughable, even for a troll.

Jones won every round on all three cards and knocked the larger McCallum down.



Tarver and Johnson came when Jones should have been retired.

Had he retired at 35 after beating Ruiz AND Tarver, like he should have, he would be ranked a top 10 ATG.

I put little stock in what he's done or failed to do since.



In short, your post is complete crap, and clearly demonstrates the irony in your choice of username.
