If Roy Jones KOs Tito then Beats Winner of......

Well of course, in my previous post about Johnson, I was just being fececious.

In all reality, I feel that RJJ has already cemented himself into the G.O.A.T. annals, as far as Im concernced. He was, simply put, unbelievable to watch. I hold RJJ in easily as high a regard as I do Wlad.

But having said that, it saddens me to seem him continue fighting when he's clearly faded from what he was.

 

Fair enough, as boxing fans we should not be happy that valuable HBO PPV dates are getting sucked up by utterly meaningless fights like Tito-RJJ.

 

As boxing fans, we shouldn't be happy that boxing is on cable soley to begin with, and that all big fights are virtually on PPV.

 

Fair enough. Never can tell who really means what here.

And Jones should have retired ages ago. If he fights Calzaghe, he will lose and it will not look good.

 

It is not PPV for me. A bannana riding a lama what next

:lama

 

True, its even worse when the fight is as meaningless as this one. HBO should put this on regular HBO and have some names on the cusp of stardom on the undercard. . . Berto comes to mind.

 

Agreed. Showcase fights for young up and comers. I also think they should have a top prospects night each month on HBO, with 2 fights shown each with a top prospect. A European night is a good idea as well.

 

Yup, showtimes shobox has the right idea. . . they just dont have the budget of HBO.

HBO buys fighters, they should be buying fights.

 

No. Because Roy beating Tito isn't the big accomplishement you think it is. Beating the Hopkins/Calzaghe winner would be good too, but not enogh to propel him to #1 ever. Not even close. Too many years w/ average opponents.

 

If Roy loses to ten lightweights in a row, i still have him in the top five.

(If Ali had continued fighting after Berbick and lost three or four more, to middlewts, he would still be the best heavywt ever.)

Roy sealed his place in the pantheon when he beat Ruiz at what should have been the end of a great unbeaten career. He even iced the cake by coming down and recapturing the lightheavy title from Tarver. That should definitely have been game over. He's now a seriously degraded fighter, probably shot, regardless of when he stops Tito.

 

Top 5 all time ...no doubt.

Throw Dawson in the mix and were talking the GOAT status.

 

he is an all time great as it is!! everyone knows he was over the hill when he suffered those defeats! Honestly I dont know if he will beat tito but as for him beating joe or hopkins, no definately not!
