    How about Jack Johnson who overcame extreme racism and became first black champion and fought in 5 decades, or Harry Greb who fought half of his career blind in one eye, and as a middleweight beat light heavys and heavys and could never get a match with Dempsey. He beat fighters like Gibbons Loughran, Walker and the only man to beat Tunney. Or Armstrong who held 3 titles at the same time. Or Joe Louis who is longest reigning heavyweight chamion with most defenses at heaveyweight, or Duran 4 weight champion(major titles) fought in 5 decades and won a title at 37. There are a lot more as well. And with the addition of RJJ why not Fitzsimmons who was also a middleweight-heavyweight champ and did not use steroids?

    From the list its honestly between RJJ and Hopkins... I think Hopkins longevity is out of this world though so he is getting my vote

    Jones. Most freakishly gifted fighter of all time. People like to **** on him now that he's in the "old man getting beat up" stage, but in his prime he was just unstoppable. Like, sometimes some fanboy will want to say that Calzaghe (or whoever) could hang with prime Roy. Get out of here with that ****.

    Don't get me wrong. It's not about disrespect for other fighters. If you said Calzaghe or whoever could beat prime Toney then you know, whatever. Maybe, maybe not. A debate can be had. But prime Jones was just as close to invincible as it gets.
