Roy Jones JR: Top 10 All-Time

yeah what better moment than when he beat the great john ruiz....u got to be kidding me...the all time cherry pick and he should retire after that?....haye moves up and calls out both klits and rjj fights john ****ing ruiz

 

thats true but like it or not that's going to be a sign of the times more than not.

doesn't make it any more right but in hindsight people will say jones ruled his division on the biggest stage of all.

jones might not have taken as many chances as he could have but was still the legit champ aned ruled his division with an iron fist - it's only the disparity in the federations that changes that.

 

Top 20 ATG:deal In his prime he was a God with gloves and the best H2H fighter in history. The true definition of a stylistic nightmare.:deal

 

i agree with you totally.

but if you're talking pvp elite then you're also talking about a perfect world and jones never pushed those boundaries.

but he was carved out of wood and there's no doubt about that.

 

You look up stylistic nightmare in the dictonary and there's a picture of of Roy Jones Jr. starring you in the ****ing face.:deal He was a terror in his prime had speed to burn highlight reel combos, TNT in both hands, could slip punches, land and almost KO at will also an underrated body puncher. Without a doubt the best fighter I have ever seen. A once in a lifetime talent who would have dominated in any era and I know we'll never see someone like him again. It's a crying shame that he didn't quit while he was still on top all it did was give his haters ammo to say he wasn't good anyway..****ing pathetic really.:-(

 

like i said...i agree with you...

but jones, like floyd, were much, much better than their careers say they were.

best fighters of their generation but neither carved everyone up - and with a talent that rare that's what we all want to happen because we feel cheated if it doesn't happen.

 

My bad sometimes I just get carried away.:goodI agree with what you said the best of their respective eras and hated on non-stop.

 

roy is black and so he can't possibly be top ten not when you have roberto "no mas" duran on many top ten lists.

roy won his four title by the age of 33. roberto won his four by the age opf 38.

duran was never considered the best fighter of his generation or of any decade .

roy fighter of the 90's, sugar ray fighter of 80's, ali fighter of the 70's, floyd fighter of 00's

duran top ten don't make me laugh. now roy top ten easily I would put him top 5.:deal

 

Kudos to that post, perfectly put :good

 

It's the classic forum mob....they think real fighters stopped being born around 1955 for some reason. Jones was a better fighter all round than Duran, no doubt about it.

 

i dont think jones or floyd will be hated in hindsight.

their egos fuelled a whole lot and there's nothing wrong with that.

it's hard for some people to remember that these guys were mere mortals until we made them more than that.

try to picture them as insecure 12 year olds (like we all were) and you'll realise what self-belief it takes to get above that.

these guys seized the moment so they don't deserve to be labelled in a bad way just because we wanted to see them be perfectionists.

i still do it too though....

 

thanks.:good

 

Duran is top ten easy, has the greastest win in beating Leonard, was light weight king for close to ten years,great win in beating barkley past prime and a few divisions higher.

Roy is not close to Duran.

Roy is top ten for talent and head to head,but his resume after Toney and Hopkins is not that good compared to others in the top 20.

He did look great against Glen Kelly thou'.

 

Didn't Toney do the same thing?.
