who will be remembered as the greatest; roy jones, hopkins, james toney???

Jones, beat both of those guys, plus won the heavy championship.

 

Roy, he beat both of them and has accomplished more in his career.

 

Roy, looked better on film, beat the other 2, didn't have losses to lesser fighters until much much later in his career, was more consistent (than Toney). Really the only thing that Toney and Hopkins have over Roy is that they had more longevity but in a prime for prime matchup I'd say he beats them both on the same night 10 times out of 10

 

I think Hopkins has the best resume between the three of them, but Jones is the most dangerous in head to head match-ups.

 

:rofl atsch

 

I think it's between Jones and Hopkins, with Roy getting the edge due to his win over Bernard.

 

:yep

 

Its very hard to give Roy the nod of Hopkins because even though Roy beat Hopkins, Hopkins beat the guys that beat Roy.

Just like Morales and Barrera ...

But based on accomplishments Roy gets the nod ... then its a close tie between Hopkin and Toney ...

Even though it might not seem so ... Toney has accomplished alot ... MW, SMW, LHW, CW, and HW ... even though he was stripped because of steroids ... he still is competing at HW and he started off at MW.

1 Roy Jones jr
2 James Toney
3 Bernard Hopkins

 

Jones, no question. If you even think it's a contest, then your memory is too short. Maybe Hopkins played out the string for longer, but Jones unquestionably had the best prime of any fighter in the past 20 years, and the prime lasted a good 10 years.

 

Roy Jones.

 

jones for sure, he is a top 10 p4p of all time IMO

 

Roy Jones Best H2H & Best accomplishments IMO

 

Top ten is a stretch...but you do have the correct answer tho.

MW champ, SMW champ, LHW champ, HW champ. Beat the likes of Hopkins, Toney, Mccallum, Woods, Tarver, Ruiz, Trinidad, Hill, Griffin, etc. Plus, arguably the most physically gifted fighter of all time.

I would then put Hopkins close behind....then Toney a good distance below the other two.
