Roy Jones' Resume - Top Five Wins?

i disagree i thought he did nothign the whole fight but he got koed next fight anyway to show he was done so no point going over it to much.

 

I agree that its probably his best.

But also, Woods, Toney, Hopkins and Hill all have done something before and after their losses to RJJ.

HOLY **** i forgot all about that.

Replace my list with Hill instead of Woods.

Ruiz
Hill
Hopkins
Griffin
Toney

 

That's why it doesn't matter. No one remembers the first fight after that KO.

 

A win is a win. Yeah, it wasn't pretty, but, I thought Jones edged him. All of the judges had it in favor of Jones, 117-111, 116-112 twice. I was thinking about Woods, but, Tarver beat him. U could perhaps put Ruiz in there, but, he sucks. Yet, beating a guy 30 pounds more than u is quite impressive to a lot of people.

 

come on those scores show the judges were not watching the fight

 

I think Woods is a very underrated win.

Granted, Clinton had done nothing to earn a shot at Jones, nor anything of note prior to the bout, but working hard to gain a title shot and make four successful defences against good opposition - including a guy who brutally KO'd Jones was very good taking into account the savage beating he received on the night until his corner rescued him.

 

i agree. i thought roy won and should great character to do it. It wasnt a vintage performance but he pulled it out

 

Hopkins
Toney
Ruiz
Hill
Tarver

Glenn Kelly (just kidding)

 

Mere fact that it was the first time in over 100 years that a MW won a heavyweight title.. Yes Ill put Ruiz over Toney.

Tarver was not robbed. Clean victory for Jones 8-4.

 

atsch What fight were you watching?

 

I may actually put Thulane Malinga up there instead of Tarver. That's a very underrated performance against a top-tier fighter. Also, Reggie Johnson is another Jones masterpiece against a highly respected opponent.

 

Not when you are talking about a natural super middleweight. atsch

 

I also agree. A lot of people were over critical of that scoring simply because up to then Jones seldom lost rounds much less had a close fight. The highlight of that fight was what Jones did wrong more so than what he still did right.

 

Toney
Hopkins
Ruiz
Hill
Tarver

 

Top 2 are Hopkins and Toney.
