roy jones jr has NO legacy at 160,,168,,175 or over 200 pounds

In two boring awful fights where he wouldn't engage either fighter.....

 

This. Roy's talent was incredible, and I think he would have beaten anybody in and around those weight classes between 94-01. It's just that he chose not to fight them to protect his marketablity, like somebody who is universally shafted on this forum. :rasta

 

a boring fight ...against Toney.

He played litterally with Toney for at least 10 Rounds....come on...remember the thrird round

He schooled him with so much fashion

And he beat Hopkins with one hand


ROY JONES JR was the best P4P from 1994 to 2003.

Nobody was close..not even De LaHOya and Trinidad

 

roy just cant get any respect here LOL

 

the fighter of the decade in the 90s has plenty legacy. can you imagine if calzaghe had moved up to heavyweight and beat ruiz for a belt? i can't either. jones gets hardly any credit for dominating that fight.

 

i just think circumstances prevented them fights.

d-man - earning well in germany. not a big name in america. don't think the US networks over aired any of his fights.

benn - promotional and network issues.

eubank - busy with his bum a month tour.

toney - ate his way out of contention and jones beat griffin easy enough.

hopkins - waited for the oscar payday and sat on his middleweight titles.

nunn - lost to toney and beaten again around the time jones went to super middle.

 

+1

Some ESB FANS does not have much gray matter in their head and would not understand what you just wrote!

 

Actually some people were rating Mosley p4p #1 in 2001.

 

Nigel Benn had ONE notable win at Super Middleweight. Michaelscheski had ZERO notable wins over anyone that Jones hadnt beat himself. If Jones has no legacy from 160-Heavyweight, than NO fighter in the last 20 years has a legacy at those weights. People blow up the relevance of those guys at the time Roy supposedly ducked them, as much as they to pick Roys record apart and trash him as a fighter.

 

:deal

 

Way to use boxing knowledge...

 

I ain't a huge RJJ fan but he was one of the best we have ever seen. Let's be real. He did enough.

 

Good point... First thing that comes to mine...Pac did the same.

 

RJJ did not have the best jaw....but his highlights are bar none. He has accomplished some of the most amazing feats in the ring ever seen in boxing. IMO he is an ATG.

 

Wow 2001 Mosley....that's so long ago. 10 YEARS, and Pac wants us to credit fighting an old guy lol
