Roy Jones Jr. Top 100 ATG?

What website did you copy that from?

 

still though I would like to see 100

 

How is Gerry Penalosa greater than Roy Jones, Jr.?

 

no website that' s my list from another thread:

http://www.eastsideboxing.com/forum/showthread.php?t=21647&page=5

 

Did you notice that the list is by weight class, which I strongly beleive is the best way to set a list of ATG..comparing them on their own merits within their own weigh classes...

 

that about 85 or 90 list...

 

Im sorry mate, i just dont like him at all. Cant wait to see Trin KO him, maybe it will happen.

 

Gotcha, but I think that Roy should be number 1 or at least number 2 at super middleweight. His resume and ability there exceeds Nunn and Liles.

 

So greatness should only be judged by a single weight class they may be in at the time?

 

Kid gavilan? atsch

 

There was a couple guys I never even heard of on that list, RJJ should be on anyones top 50 list wether you hate him or not. What do you got against RJJ that you must rank him so low, Im just curious.

 

Moving up serveral weight classes and dominating the top fighters is nothing?

Absolutely.

He did not have the resume that some of his contemporaries did - although his resume is very underrated and unappreciated: another argument for another time - but if anyone tells you they saw a more phenomenal fighter in the 90's they are lying to you.

 

Sorry but I just don;t see top fighters on his resume and that's the issue here.....you find a number of good contemporary fighters but you also notice the abscence of some top notch competiton that he never fought....
