    I have to go with Roy. He started at MW and won a HW title. Has anybody else started at middleweight and moved up to HW?

    Roy easily

    RJJ beating Hopkins and Toney negates anything Oscar did in his career

    /jones was generally regarded as the best P4P for a decade....like BErt Sugar said Ray RObinson didnt even have that accolade, Jones was also the 1st fighter from the modern era to provoke a discussion upto the RUiz fight...."is this the Greatest fighter ever?"

    Roy Jones by far....Oscar is TOp 10 though

    Oscar is definitely no where near the top 10.

    Roy of course. But Oscar was the more entertaining fighter.

    Oscar beat Tito And SSM once.

    Tito was a great win even if he ran the last couple rounds.

    No.

    I voted Oscar but Pacquiao isn't in my top 20 all-time.

    Oscar though loosing most of his big fights (im not a big oscar fan, but i think he won one of the two fights vs mosley and to me he won in an ugly way vs trinidad) has a better resume overall.

    One of his legacy is to always fight / challenge whoever is the best in a certain era (though loosing most).

    ODLH is underrated here.

    Who has had a better resume since the mid 90's?.

    I think Roy is ahead, but ODLH will be rated alot higher in the years to come, because of his resume. When you always fight the best around and the top p4p guys every top fighter will have a few close loses (ex' when going to high in weight or being shot\weight drained [Pac]).

    oppositions faced = odlh
    talent = rjj

    overall, rjj slightly ahead... even if odlh is a cross-dresser, i dunno why he is so underrated here.

    Jones was by far better/greater than Oscar. There is no comparison IMO.
