    No way in hell does haggler beat jones

    Hagler is an overrated bum who beat midgets

    No one at 168 and below has a hope in hell

    I'd say you'd have to go to cruiser weight before someone had any hope

    Wow so many things wrong with this! Last I checked. Hearns was far from a midget

    Montell Griffin. I know bs but I subscribe to the "a win is a win a loss is a loss" theory. So Montell could and did beat him.

    Calzhage was smart to hide out on his island until Hopkins and Jones got to be ole' men. Jones anywhere near his prime would have beaten the ****** **** outta Joe. People, lets be real...

    I'd give Prime Evander at 190 a 50/50 shot - Maybe...

    :lol:
    Some people will create their own reality and delusion to make themselves feel correct. All of those quotes bailey listed don't mean jack s**t. They don't speak for everyone. And for every fool that thought Roy had a chance to win that fight, 10 or 20 logical people knew the truth, that he was shot to s**t and stood a slim chance. This guy thinks just because he gives a dozen examples of "experts" who picked Roy to win, that's the end all be all. What a joke.

    But none of Calzaghe's fans ever want to address his comments that Roy Jones would have been too good for him back in the day.

    Very true..

    It still gets me to this day, If Roy didn't get DQed he would have most likely won that fight and would have beat Marciano's record, sitting at 50-0 after beating Tarver... Would he have retired then.:think

    Even though he called them out- both the Klitschko's in a squeaker
    But RJJ had their number

    Correct.

    Roy was at his absolute peak at 168, but used to weigh in around 175 on fight night.

    So you could have put the Toney version of Roy in with Spinks and Foster etc.

    Someone give Michael J. Fox a call.

    Get the Delorean fired up.
