    Against a minor titlist ... should he be in consideration for one of the greatest fighters p4p ever?

    He's targeting Sam Peter who's a small HW ... I know that Sam Peter has a date against Vitali Klitschko ... but just hypothetically speaking.

    Roy jones is nearly 40 and barly a contender in his own weight division at the moment. How the hell is he going to win a heavy weight title.

    Here is my plan. How about Roy knocks off Calzaghe, moves up, beats Klitchko and then goes WAY down in weight and KOs Pacquiao at 135. Now we are talking about ATG status..............

    I think he takes a little too much **** for the knockouts as is. If he accomplished that, impossible as it is? Man, I can't even think of where I'd put him. That would mess up alot of peoples' current ATG lists.

    This is about as fantastic as the idea that he will a HW belt.

    Jones is DONE as top flight fighter. The Calzaghe fight will make that clear for those who haven't already realized that, and hopefully Roy himself.

    when he does beat cal slappy, that would be the number one hw to go after. jones will go up in weight, his chin will go up, his speed will still be there and some power, he can for sure kick peters ass. I seriously think the lightheavyweights are better than the heavyweights

    Is OP saying he's targeting Peter if he beats Calzhage? I was wondering if I could see a source. I could be reading this wrong.

    man IF he does that.
    I dont even kno, I hope he doesnt do the heavyweight thing again. But if he does I will root for him most definately.

    But if he does that, he has to be damn high on the ATG list

    if he ever does that then yes he'll be the g.o.a.t in my book, considering the fact that how shot he is and still pulling something like that off.

    But then again very unlikely

    I think he's a top 10 ATG fighter as is ... I don't make much out of those two KO losses ... he's already accomplished alot more than most fighters in history ... starting off winning a title at 160 and moving all the way up to HW to take a version of the HW title. No of this moderen era has done something like that ... and it hasn't been done since Michael Moore and Michael Spinks ... even though those guys were naturally bigger than Roy.

    Roy is one of the best at LHW ... his reign as a LHW champion has spanned longer than those other guys.
