    Is this guy for real?

    Stating Roy Jones is the greatest of all time!?

    Now how fkn disrespectful is that to the True greatest fighters - Henry Armstrong, Joe Gans, Charley Burley, Ray Robinson, Sam Langford, Ezzard Charles, Roberto Duran, Benny Leonard, Willie Pep... Roy Jones couldn't hold a candle to these men, who are turning in their graves.

    I wouldn't put him in the top 50. Hard to make a case of any kind for top 50 for the incredible Jones, truth be told.

    And Mayweather at his peak (99-00) was a fast-paced offensive maestro who took guys out leading off with untelegraphed bombs from all angles and combinations to the head and body at breakneck speed.

    Did Bellew not see the demolition job on Arturo Gatti - countless combinations bouncing off the great warrior.

    Can we not 'please leave him alone', please?

    Well he’s wrong as RJJ isn’t the greatest of all time but then again the fighter who I think is the most complete and imo the greatest Roberto Duran is perhaps not the first fighter who springs to mind either as the true greatest.

    It’s his opinion, I and you don’t agree but then again it’s Bellew.

    Sky pundits don't know their boxing. It's blatantly obvious.

    You are obsessed with Roy Jones Junior. He lives inside your head 24/7 rent free. Log off and get some sleep boy

    Out of interest, how many of those fighters have you watched?

    Mayweather had a one year peak? His best performance was in 2001! And the rest came up until 2011!

    Uhh, a PEAK lasts 10 years!?

    Okay then

    He was at his best from 98 to 2005, physically at his athletic peak in his four years of spectacular stoppages and dominant beatdowns from Manfredy to Corrales at the turn of the century around 99/00

    Personally on his best night I don't see anyone beating Jones unless we drag out ATG heavyweights which is just being stupid.

    Jones did waste a bit of time on no hopers but a lot of the best fighters around didn't want any part of that man, our own Joe Calzaghe has been on record multiple times saying he didn't want anything to do with prime Jones.

    Also can I say the klittards went missing for a few years and I've missed them, it's nice to see them back repping loma/usyk/hrgovic

    A large majority of fans across the globe would agree with you, Roberto Duran is in the argument for the best ever, definitely !

    Bellew is Bellew, take what he says with a pinch of salt.

    I find Jones one of the hardest fighters in history to rank. His reflexes and athletic prowess were phenomenal.

    On the eye test he might be the best ever.

    However there are loads of factors in ranking the best boxers ever.

    Jones ain't in my top 10 but I have no problem if he is in other people's lists.

    I wouldn’t have him in my top 20, but it’s not outrageous for some people to have him up there.
