    Yes 4 years ago when Jones was not known to be shot to pieces. He had recently won the HW title of the world.

    If say Dawson was to fight Jones now, and was shouting his mouth off saying he was going legend killing, I too would have a problem with that. Take off those nationalistic blinkers.

    I don't know if you have been living in a cave all this time or this is ignorance.
    Why didn't Jones ever fight Benn?, well here's proof right here for you regarding that fight. Also, if you think "Benn" would have been a legit threat then you must be smoking something out of this world and that man's only claim to fame is fights in England and the bull**** typical endless cheating and rabbit punch free affair against McClellan. Jones would have crushed that guy to tiny pieces SO EASY that a million excuses would be all over it after it's done, Benn is not in Jones' league. Here's the interview regarding it, just move the video to 5:50 and enjoy.

    Regarding Hopkins, not to forget that even if that fight happened Jones would have beat him again and I'm a Hopkins fan as well.

    Regarding Toney, he has done nothing but talk trash and invent a million excuses for being completely outclassed in his prime against Jones. He was outclassed SO bad that he made up a bull**** excuse about being sick, weight drained and a load of other rubbish. Not to forget that Toney also fought and lost to Griffin after it. Also I don't remember a SINGLE serious offer from Toney's team that Jones declined or turned down apart from talking absolute rubbish and junk behind the microphone, if anything it's the loser who should run after the winner if he wants to avenge a loss, talking trash behind the microphone attracts nothing as Toney constantly proves. Ironically in that very same video he was also asked about Toney and I will link it again. Move to 4:00.

    Dawson has a finer china chin than Jones and that ignorant coward would be crushed by the master Roy Jones Jr, even now.....think about it...people are talking as if Dawson-Tarver will be an awesome fight...We all know Tarver was nothing more than mediocre even at his best, he just happened to be in the right place, now he's **** the bed, and the overhyped Dawson will outwork him to a lame and boring UD, WHO CARES....Jones would wreck that illiterate hoodrat with ease:deal

    Questions about Benn, Hopkins 2, don't hold a huge amount of weight because Jones has prime Toney, and a young Hopkins on his resume (two elite fighters) - along with a HW title.

    What the **** are you on about?! Wasn't it clear RJJ was shot to bits when he lost every round before getting KOed by Glencoffe Johnson? Don't ****ing tell me I'm being nationalistic you tosser.

    Yes, and with Tarver too I suppose.

    And I don't know if there's any such thing as an Audley fan. I'm only a fan of his fights when he loses.

    Benn went over to America and knocked out

    Iran Barkley

    and

    Doug De Witt

    so he did fight outside England

    also Roy Jones never fought outside USA

    so double standards there

    Well, the USA is pretty ginormous, so if he's fighting outside his home state (and most top fighters always do) then it's not exactly home advantage, is it? Which akes the whole fighting outside the US thing pretty irrelevant. He wasn't even on the beneficial end of a close verdict until the first Tarver fight.

    Scar is very blatantly right on this one. I don't see RJJ as a Superman but Benn isn't in his league.

    i agree with that, but large parts of his post are absolutely ignorant bull**** to downgrade one fighter in order to pimp up another.

    Well yeah, he does that consistently. Pathetic really. And I used to think he was a decent poster too. Must be down to his lounge posting once upon a time...

    I don't really need to "pimp up" Jones' career or abilities they're fully pimped out without the need of help, even if I did I would find someone better than Benn to do it.

    Where did I say in my post he never fought outside of England? :huh, don't get me wrong now Benn is a very good fighter but to compare him to RJJ or even HINT that RJJ never wanted to fight him is complete RUBBISH and in that very interview you get the answers regarding it. If the author of that post is a serious fan of Benn he would at least know about this without the need of video evidence.
