Roy Jones is still greater then both Hopkins and Toney!

This is the thing. Jones (like Holyfield) has fought so long I think alot of people forget how great he truly was. Little can be said that prime for prime Hopkins or Toney ever beats RJJ.

 

No RJJ used to be greater then B-Hop, not now though.

 

the first Rjj Bhop fight doesnt mean a whole lot, it wasnt a big fite at the time , Bhop was NOT accomplished then, This was an undercard fight and not a big deal and it also stunk

Bhop has progressivley gotten better and he keeps winning

lets not make out that was some kinda super fight it simply wasnt

 

Question to all those who feel Jones is above Hopkins:

If Bernard not only continues fighting at the highest level, but keeps winning, at his age, will he then in your view, surpass Jones?

I mean, lets have it right, guys. If Hopkins is still top man in a year or two years time, then he blatantly surpasses Jones!

He already has in my view.

Man's nearly middle-aged & is still beating them! Jones is Knocked out again & again!

 

it's close, but i'll go with roy still.

i bet this thread ain't worthy for discussion if roy quit boxing after winning his hw title. roy (5'11) moved up and challenged big men, while hopkins (6'1) spent much of his career fightin' blown out welterweight (trinidad, dlh and wright).

roy was the fighter of the 90's, their decade.

 

"their decade" ???

well its the beginning of 2 decades later and both are still fighting and Bhop is a world champ

is it only their decade cause Jones was better then ?

 

Jones was ok.

 

Better at gettin that AZZ KO'd! Potato Peeled Cheen.

 

you can add calzaghe for a trio....

 

I think you can argue either way for either being higher than the other. I personally have it Hopkins, Jones then Toney

 

Yes indeed, I would call RJJ athletic gifted rather than skilled. His physical gifts allowed him to do things wrong, and turn them right. But too bad his athleticism deminish with his age. B-Hop on the other hand can compete at top level because his A+ skills can always overcome the physical limitations of an older guy!!

 

Jones has been proven to have no Chin, no heart, no Plan B in a fight. He also never beat an Undisputed, Unified, or Lineal World Champion which in the era of 4 belts is pretty pitiful.

 

^big time hater.

 

Wlad has also proven to do the same.
