Assuming he managed his career better (better comp, better fights, knew when to hang em up, etc.) where do you thing he could have ended up on peoples ATG lists? his speed, power, accuracy, endurance, creativity were all amazing, but his career was a bit of a mess
After Ruiz if he went out and fought and somehow beat Lewis and then retire he would have been a top 10 ATG.
Will there be another Roy Jones?...probably not. Knocked out Virgil Hill with a body shot! I would say he's top 20
He'd have beaten Terry Norris when that fight was discussed in 1990, or James Toney when that fight was discussed in 1992. He'd have beaten Julian Jackson and Reggie Johnson and Lamar Parks, though Gerald McClellan is a dodgy fight for him, fantasistically. Michael Nunn could've beaten him on points. Chris Eubank is a career-shortener, even if he won. It's interesting.
Probably 11-20 atg if he had managed it better. However, I still think of him about rank 30 anyway with the way things have already gone.
