    If Roy Jones KOs Tito and then goes on to beat the winner of Calzaghe/Hopkins is he the G.O.A.T.? You would have to place him at least in the top 5 based on his accomplishments and seemingly flawless talent in his prime.

    Yep. He would be top 5. Would love to see it. But it is not going to happen.

    If RJJ beats Tito and Calzaghe I'd put him top10.

    The only thing that stops me from putting him up high anyway is his losses to milkdud and johnson.

    He'd easily be top 5 in my book.

    Those were losses in that he looked nothing like "his former self". This would be an unbelievable accomplishment. That when he lost his fire, his prime, his "talent" his career was seemingly dead...much like other former greats. But he worked his way back up, dug deep and regained his glory. :deal It would be like Mike Tyson coming back and winning a title today or Holyfield, or Morales.

    Roy is already in some people's top 20 of all time - so I would say Yes - it would bump him up to at least within the Top 10!

    **** me! That would be some achievement, and if it did happen, and lets face it, JC was calling out Jnes only last year as possible names to fight, but Jones cant beat JC now, but if it happened, yes, top 10 at least, top5 possibly:good

    As much chance of happening as Ricardo Lopez coming back to out box Wladimir Klitschko, not worth discussing.

    After Jones KO's Tito, which he should do fairly easily, old or not, people will be calling for a Calzaghe fight or an Hopkins fight, but that doesnt make it a credible match up, RJJ is utterly spent!

    What's with all these "What if...blahblahblah" threads that are completely unrealistic?

    Have you seen RJJ fight recently?

    He's rubbish

    HAHAHAHAHAHAHA. Are you kidding me? Roy Jones is the biggest joke in boxing today. He beats a 50 year old former welterweight and an 80 year old Hopkins and he's top 5? Roy couldn't carry Robinson, Armstrong, Pep, Greb, or Duran's jockstrap. They wouldn't have been knocked out cold by someone like Glen Johnson.

    For once I agree with RZA.

    Even if Roy KO'd a useless Tito and then outpointed JC or B-Hop, he still wouldn't crack top 20 all time.

    Roy's career doesn't hold a candle to the guys that RZA mentioned and I'll also throw in Ali, Louis, Archie Moore, SR Leonard, Sweet Pea, Monzon, JC Chavez, Barney Ross, Ruben Olivares, Alexis Arguello and Wilfredo Gomez.

    Thats 16 guys ahead of him easily.

    Sal Sanchez, Canzoneri, Griffith, Miguel Canto, Mickey Walker, Dempsey, Tunney....should I keep going?

    :good

    Last time Roy faced a decent light heavyweight, he was given a "standing month count" by Glen Johnson.

    So shall we get started with this debate: He would have beaten better fighters than you mentioned.

    He would have had 4 ATG: Hill (20 LHW defences), Toney, Hopkins and Calzaghe. Won titles from middle to heavyweight.
