Is Jones an ATG?

is Jones and ATG Roy Jones Jr, there is no question.

 

What kinda question is this? YES is the obvious and ONLY answer.

 

is that a joke

 

Obviously.

 

I think he is more trying to make a point about Lewis than questioning Jones. I agree Lewis is an ATG as do most rational people

 

This is a ******ed thread. There's no doubt he's an ATG. He rates higher than Gayweather, Tito, Mosely, Lewis and all the other guys in his generation...except maybe Hopkins.

 

Lewis is an atg HEAVYWEIGHT, I agree with that. RJ is an all time great period!

 

Lewis was not a faded fighter when he was KO'd. Jones beat enough higher quality fighters than Tarver/Johnson in his prime to have proven himself.

He's an ATG for sure.

 

**** yes he is. I cant believe this is even a serious question

 

Almost certainly. In his prime he was as talented a boxer as you will find. :bbb


If you mean in terms of personality - well.... the case gets more shaky.

Like you say, he didn't demand the rubber match with Tarver, and went for Johnson instead. Guess what happened next :-( .

Part of what will make a boxer great is "sealing the deal" - avenging his losses or at least being confident enough to step up to the plate after a loss(es). He didn't, and that is something that rightfully has been lobbed by his detractors.


But ATG there can be no doubt.

 

He outranks Hopkins by a fair margin. You could argue at least 3 of the fighters mentioned in your post do as well. Depending on the criteria.

 

Roy Jones?

UHM WIthout a doubt
