Well, I'm a huge Lewis fan but I have a different opinion. Firstly Roy was a multiple division champion, having won the middle & super middle weight divisions prior to completely dominating the lightheavyweight division for years. So in terms of accomplishments, I don't think Lewis has anything on Jones. And Jones was the rings p4p fighter for years and he along with Mayweather and perhaps SRL are the most talented boxers I've seen in my lifetime. Not the best boxers mind you, that would be Duran, and maybe Ali, who did more with what they had than both Mayweather and Jones. In any event, it's rare that I'm ever in a position to knock Lewis, but on an ATG list, he's definately lower than Jones, by a big enough margin that it's not all that close.
Look at the pattern of his threads and posts. All anti-American. He's got an inferiority complex. And to answer your question, BOTH are ATG Top 100, with Jones ahead of Lewis based on being P4P #1 for a very long time (obviously you can't take winning more belts as an issue as Lewis only fought at heavy)
Yes Roy is defitnaly an ATG at 168/75, I do wish as a fan of his that he could have fought Benn,Eubank,Nunn,McClellan. But circumstances and unforeseen occurences prevented those fights from happening.
RJJ is without a doubt an ATG, but he was nowhere near as eroded as some will say when he was sparked. RJJ not avenging those two defeats and not fighting a couple fighters he should have sought out will forever hinder his status in my opinion. But no doubt he is an ATG.
Hell yeah he is and when he beats Calzaghe it will even make him higher on the list. But I do want him to fight Johnson again.
People who do not consider jones to be an ATG. are either ****ing dumb or 16 years old!!! TOP 25 ATG - Based on achievement!!!! TOP 5 ATG - Based on ability!!!! CLOSE THREAD!!!
Let me ask you a question. Do you rate Roy Jones Jnr an ATG? If so, at what position? Also do you rate Joe Calzaghe an ATG? If so, at what position?
