    Roy jones is the best fighter I have ever seen. Period.
    I could care less what anybody under thirty years old thinks. You ****s were still sippin simalac when Roy was top dog.

    As time passes Roy's ranking will increase. I expect him to settle inside the Top 20. At his peak he was second to none in the history of boxing.

    roy will never be ranked alongside the likes of ali and ray leonard.

    - he never had a plan b couldn't adapt in the ring
    - he never pulled through in times of adversity
    - he never won a great fight
    - he is a drugs cheat
    - he had a glass jaw.

    good fighter but definitely a level lower than the likes of ali and leonard. even a level below pacquiao and mayweather for that matter.

    I enjoyed it as much as Larry Holmes beating Ali

    Lennox Lewis over Tyson

    I bet you would have clowned Joe Louis' fans for his loss to Marciano ..See the pattern ?

    There was nothing other than a name on resume by the time those fights happened But you hold it in the regard of a legendary accomplishment ..Thats what irrefutable ..

    Your hate is pre school ..Am I supposed get upset at Karma ?

    Jones did it to his opponents because he could Joe did it to his opponents to mirror Jones ..

    Had he did what he did to Jones in his prime I'd respect that, but are u really bragging about what Calzaghe did to an old Jones ?fOR REAL :huhAnd I consider Joe a legend .

    borenard was ranked number 3 p4p when calzaghe came to america and slayed another american hype job in his 1st fight at light heavyweight, with a corrupt official who did everything possible to keep borenard in the fight.

    despite calzaghe being over the hill, he came to america and slayed american hype jobs.

    no matter what questions jones and hopkins asked, calzaghe would always have the answers. its totally and utterly irrefutable :deal

    You were talking about Joe clwoning Jones were you not ? And I picked Joe to beat Hopkins and your point ?

    American hype job is that what you come back with ?The one hype job that Joe waited until he he lost 4 steps to have the balls to get in the ring with ? I wonder who were your role modles growing up ?

    Must of been all cowards :goodBut I see what your trying to do ..Im not going to subscribe to it ..Jones even after losing to the so called Yank slayer is still ranked higher all time ..But if in your own world he should rank higher, hey who am I to change someone 's mind who is delusional ..
