You make it sound like Sanchez had no skill. You have seen the way he picked little Red Lopez apart twice ? or how he was able to tattoo the on rushing Azumah Nelson with punches.

I dont agree with Roy but Sanchez was a very skilled fighter.

Virgil Hill's ribs were proud to be broken by Roy Jones.

Roy Jones jnr won every bout at the Olympics in 1988 and was robbed of a gold (payback for some US 'judging' in LA).

He went on to a near perfect professional career, defeating legendary ATG and Hofer Bernard Hopkins for a middlewt title in his 22nd outing at age 24.

At 25, he beat another legend and ATG HoFer, undefeated James Toney (by shutout) to capture a title at SMW.

After a loss by DQ (where he was (rightfully) penalized for being a little too aggressive after a KD), he avenged the loss with a very focused first round KO of undefeated Montel Griffin. This gave him a light heavywt title at 28.

After picking up two more belts at light heavy, he went on to capture a piece of the heavywt title at 34.

This was a first for a middlewt in more than a century.

In a career that spanned 49 fights till that point, he held victories over Hopkins, Toney, Griffin, McCallum, Hill and Ruiz.

And he completely dominated most of his opponents, including ultra-slick Toney, losing very few rounds over that period.

Consider his legacy, had he retired after defeating Ruiz.


But he didn't. He could have even retired largely undefeated after his 50th fight, where he recaptured the Lightheavywt crown from Tarver, two months shy of 35.

Had he retired, even at that point, we wouldn't even be debating the issue.

I consider him the best boxer of his generation and, even though I'm a big Calzaghe fan, I rank him H2H, the best ever at 168.


I don't put much stock in Ali's bouts with Holmes and Berbick, or the geriatric years of SRR, SRL, Duran and other greats.

Most guys are long past it at 35. If we look at Roy's record up to that point, there's not much doubt regarding his greatness.
