Roy Jones Junior : The Greatest Fighter on ability of all-times..!

What Phil Taylor can do on a dartboard? Not that good surely?

 

I believe he was in the same league as those guys as well. Eventually they all grow old, slow down, and come down to earth, but Jones was certainly a special fighter, the likes we will most likely not see for a very long time.

I think the capacity to withstand or recover from a hard shot constitutes an element of ability as well, and nobody ever stopped Sugar Ray Robinson with punches, let alone with a single shot, in 300 combined amateur and professional bouts held until he was 45 years old. (RJJ is only 40.)

 

Some people will probably rate Mayweather above him if he beats Cotto/Mosley but in reality Mayweather isnt in the same ball park as Jones. I'd agree hes the most talent P4P ever

 

Both of these guys have something in common. Neither was ever interested in an all out war or a fight that would mess up their faces. The difference is Roy Jones, regardless of what a lot of people think, took huge physical risks, because almost always he was so much smaller than his opponents. These guys he was fighting at LH were big big guys.

 

I agree in that he did things in the ring we won't see again for a long time.

I think his "weak chin" is overplayed too. He's only been knocked out twice, and both were 15 years into his career.

 

Fail, he almost got starched by some southpaw.
But he was a special fighter.

 

Tiger Woods is gay and Tom Brady is lame and the Seattle Seahawks are still going to win the superbowl this year

 

Great post.

It's more than reasonable.

Jones was a talent who captured the imagination of a generation by his showboating style. he got away with his errors whilst he was young and fresh. In the autumn of his career he had neither the techical skills, chin or fortitude to do what Ali, Moore and even Hopkins did.

I just remember Roycott and that comissioner who predicted that since Jones would be unable to cheat the new drug test that he would lose the rematch to Tarver.
