Roy Jones Jr. 16-0-0-0 (KO 16) G.O.A.T Junior Middlweight?

He didn't even win a title at 154.

 

That would be Terry Norris at the time. Jones and vaca fought Jan, 1992. End of 91, Ring had Norris. Vaca wasn't even listed.

 

Could you imagine if Roy Jones won a title at 154, and still went on to win a title at HW? Where would you rank him P4P all time if he did that?

 

I see what you're saying, but Vaca had been beaten a few timers, and KO'd prior to the Jones jr. fight. Was a good step up, that's for sure. And he won in a highly impressive fashion, and to me, that does matter.

 

At the time, I would think fighting Terry Norris at 154 would be too great a jump for Roy, even as talented as he was. Could be right.

 

Possible. Good points. Norris was very fast himself, and could put you away with either hands. RJJ was something special, so cannot rule that out. But if I had to pick, it would be Norris. He was more experienced, powerful, fast, and a very good boxer. He liked to try and mix up unfortunately, good ol machismo, that was one of his faults IMO.

 

Nigel Benn was a savage puncher but was shot to bits by the time he fought Roy.
To be sure I thought Roy Jones was amazing but he does seem to get a pass for just about anything.

 

He may get a pass on a lot of things, but from I've seen., especially on this board, it's often because any fight not getting made is often said to be his fault.

Got some "For example..."?

 

RJJ never won the WBC belt at Super Middleweight.
