    Not familiar with a lot of the fighters.

    I'm not sure if he beats Ward. No blueprint on how to beat Ward blah blah blah. Well, maybe there is. haha Nah, I did think Kovalev beat Ward, but I didn't think it was a controversial decision. So close.

    I fancy Kovalev. The recency bias works against Jones Jr and I've got Enzo Maccarinelli thoughts on my mind. Have to think back to prime Roy Jones Jr. I don't know, I'd still fancy Kovalev.

    Anyway, this thread gives me something to do on title bout as I wait for WWE to start. Going to run prime Jones vs the light heavyweight division and see how it goes.

    Again.. Tell me who the top 3 'non Roy' LHW's were in Roy's era? Why are you struggling with this?

    Tarver, DM, Hill & Nunn. The best of his era? Agree or disagree?

    Does that mean he beats every LHW then? You are taking this personal for both you & RJJ, it is not. I do not argue he was a great fighter.. I just like to separate man from myth. It is 2017 now son.. Move on.

    Are you really saying Stevenson wouldn't be able to catch Jones? Based on what? LOL

    You do know southpaw Derek Acorah caught him loads with the southpaw jab. Reminded me of the first Tarver fight. Though Harmon doesn't have Tarvers's power and seems to smother some of his own work on the inside.

    Another example Tarver...

    ;)

    What an embarrassment you are.

    I've given you an opportunity, and look what happens?


    I keep telling you that there was no clear top 3, they were interchangeable.

    If you're asking me who I think were the best LHW's during Roy's reign, I think they were:

    (In no particular order)

    Dariusz
    Tarver
    Hill
    Griffin
    Nunn
    R Johnson

    You're wasting my time, when we could have be having a decent debate.

    Rick Frazier was a low level mandatory that Roy fought before he unified against Reggie Johnson.

    Yes, they would be on the list.

    I'd put Nunn alongside R Johnson though. He was still a good fighter, but his best days were long gone. He wasn't the same fighter who'd fought Toney, as you'd know if you'd followed his career and seen him at SMW.

    In terms of ability, Tarver would definitely be on the list, but he only started appearing in the top 3 rankings in the early 00's. He didn't turn pro until 1997, and he lost his first fight to Harding in 2000. So he was a top 3 guy from 2001 onwards on most people's lists.
