    If Roy retires after Ruiz he has a case for near GOAT status. People forget how ridiculous he was.

    Im a huge Jones fan but as an Irish man Id have loved to see him v Collins.

    Sad that it never happened.

    Im irish too man i think it was a good thing for Collins it didn't happen. He had the heart of a lion and a great fighter just think at that time Jones would have destroyed him.

    Never will know.

    Collins v Calzaghe would have been great.

    Collins was a good fighter but if he had his hands full with Reggie Johnson, it would have not looked good for him against RJJ.

    Benn-RJJ would be interesting. RJJ has the edge but you never know in boxing.

    Jones is the greatest of all times, it's not close, who's near, Robinson? He isn't nearly as good, nowhere near as quick or defensively sound. Armstrong, no chance

    You're delusional. Roid faster? Maybe by a **** hair. Better defense? Absolutely not. Roid had head movement and nothing else, no guard, little parrying ability, just reflexes and head movement. And that disgraceful Glass Jaw would have been brutally shattered even against a past-prime SRR who was 10x the fundamental boxer and 100x as tough.

    Fanboys rate Roid as unbeatable because of potential, not deeds in the ring. He ducked all the power punchers of his era and cherrypicked weak titleholders to garner an impressive level of trinket belts rather than legitimate championships. He is a Glass Jawed fraud and an absolute disgrace to boxing.

    Jones' level of competition was laughable, and he was a steroid cheat.
    He doesn't deserved to be mentioned in the same paragraph as legends like Ray Robinson, Marvin Hagler, and Harry Greb.
