    Eh,last time I check,Roy Jones has been stopped a grand total of 3 times in 60 something fights,and all after the age of 35.

    Glass jaw,my ass.

    Roy is my dude.

    But hes becoming one of the most if not the most overrated fighter ever, reading some of these posts people actually believe he was some kind of unbeaten superman in his prime.

    I don't know about that Hagler thing. I'd think he'd dominate Hearns before he dominated Hagler.

    I do think Hagler would've been the one to take his soul. No doubt about it for me.

    The young middleweight roy jones was one of the best fighters since the war, it doesnt matter about his supposed weak chin (losing 34 pounds of pure muscle at 34 yrs old would **** anyone up) is that at that time I dont think there is a fighter apart from Ray Robinson or Leonard that could have timed him. He would be too fast for Hagler - think the Leonard fight except a fast opponent


    Tommy Hearns would be a tough fight due to his reach and power (obviousy) - he would probably have to stand with him more than he would Hagler

    Not sure if you followed his career much, but his nickname was Superman. Exactly because he was 'some kind of unbeaten superman in his prime.'
