    He wouldn't beat Lewis, but what if he had gotten the megafight with Tyson after Ruiz? He'd have a very good chance of winning that, but wouldn't be too legacy-enhancing.

    some people are so stupid its unbelievable. You might as well post: "If Roy Jones had sprouted wings and flew around the world at the speed of sound where would you rate him?"

    A victory over Lewis and then retire??? The G.O.A.T for me... But Lewis was too big, to fast, too strong. Roy would have been hurt.

    Maybe it's just me, but I think Tyson would kill him. Although I must admit I don't remember how Tyson was looking those days. But still Tyson would still be too much for him.

    Lewis would have knocked Jones out with a hard left jab! I'm not joking, either!

    Roy weighed 193lbs for Ruiz & apparently that was with weights in his pockets! Lewis weighed 240/250lbs. He would have obliterated Jones!

    In a hypothetical, yea...he would have been at least top 10 for me.

    By then he would have had close to 50 fights and dominated most. The vulnerabilities he showed late in his career bring him down quite a bit. But H2H prime for prime, he's one of the best.

    Lewis would probably have killed him, but if he did somehow pull it out, then yeah sure why not have him as number 1?

    Roy Jones Junior would have without a shadow of a doubt gone down as the greatest boxer ever.... to be killed in the ring by Lennox Lewis.

    If did that, and legit beat Lewis, not a Holyfield style gift. easily top 5 of all time, if not higher.
