Roy Jones fought trash opposition

He beat 2x heavyweight champ John Ruiz! The quiet man with the most underrated resume

 

Green or not, 28 or 38, Roy's win over Hopkins is almost certainly his greatest.

P4P #1's will never fight enough times to please everyone.

Ruiz was a low level champ.

EVERY other boxer.

Yes, they have better resumes.

Who’s said otherwise?

 

Just to answer the thread directly, Yes RJJ fought quality opponents as follows ;

B. Hopkins
A. Tarver
D. Green
G. Johnson
D. Lebedev
J. Calzage
E. Maccarinelli
V. Philipps

Unfortunately lost to all of them...

 

Yeah but he was still a bit green though, honestly. It would be a few years still before he was that top level killer.
