Well you're NOT a barrel of laughs. You're a bit of a sad case. The Ali of the 80s was well past prime and so we don't put much stock in his last four fights. Roy was past prime in 2004 and so I don't put much stock in his last few fights. What part of that is giving you a headache ?
lmao... I'm being accosted by one of the DUMBEST DOUCHEBAGS on the forum.. Poor me.. :rofl:rofl:rofl:rofl:rofl HEY STUPID, STATING THE OBVIOUS MEANS ****. JONES BEING PAST HIS PRIME HAD NOTHING TO DO WITH HIM LOSING THOSE FIGHTS. HOW ****ING STUPID ARE YOU? SERIOUSLY? SERIOUSLY?? WHO THINKS JONES WAS IN HIS PRIME AT 35??? WHO?
You can't rank jones so high on pure skills alone, sorry, just can't do it.... his resume is about 90% full of cops, cab drivers, and janitors....not the hallmark of an ATG.....why can't peope understand this about jones? and fighting john ruiz at heavyweight does not pass as a major accomplishment, sorry....
You really are one of these ******S that can't see what losing did to Roy's CONFIDENCE, aren't you? :rofl
Great response, dude. You're in top San Rafeal form today. (Which is to say, you have no answers. As usual.)
Roy confidence had nothing to do with his dismal performances against Tarver in the first fight you idiot. In that fight Roy Jones despite seemingly the superior boxer took large parts of the fight off, and could not avoid the ropes to save his life. What confidence had Roy lost clown? God you're dumb.
It's tough to rate him high based on opponents fought. Yes, he did defeat B-Hop and James Toney as well as Virgil Hill, an undefeated Montell Griffin and John "Boring Man" Ruiz. However, are those victories enough to place him as an atg? If the question is "Where does Roy Jones rank as an atg for skill and athleticism?" then the answer is probably #1. It's just that his post Tarver career has really had a negative impact on his legacy. That said, no one in the history of Boxing has ever had his hand speed or reflexes (including Sugar Ray Leonard and Meldrik Taylor).
What does Tarver I have to do with anything?? So you're just going to MAKE UP what we're talking about? :rofl Clever way of trying to jump out the back window..
