    i always considered jones to be one of the 10 p4p greatest of all time, but with the accomplishments of hopkins, pac and mayweather, im not too sure if his resume is ahead of the pack anymore.

    has any current fighter exceeded roy's greatness?

    As an overall fighter he has done well, but I cant give him full props due to him being a PEDs cheat and avoiding fighters like Collins, Benn, Eubank, Calzaghe and Michalczewski

    his "greatness" or accomplishments.. no... not to me there isnt.. maybe juan manuel marquez if he can win a title at 140 or beat pacquiao he has a chance.. floyd mayweather too has the greatness label on him so does pacquiao... as far as physical prowess in my opinion no the roy jones of the 90s is one of the best boxing athletes God has ever produced

    Pacquiao. And if Mayweather were to beat Pacquiao (on current form)...his name would be up there.

    Pacquiao is terms of greatness. No one else. Roy kind of set the bar for 21st century fighters.
