lol at Saad Mummad over Roy Jones

What did Jones do at 175 that would justify rating him over MSM? And no, being more recent doesn't count.

MSM's resume

Wins over

Conteh x2
Lopez x2
Johnson x2

stopped by Qawi x2 and stopped by Eric Winbush

Roy Jones resume

Virgil Hill(already better then anybody MSM beat)
Reggie Johnson
Merqui Sosa
Montell Griffin
Mike McCallum
Julio Cesar Gonzalez

lost maybe 10 rounds total at light heavyweight in his prime.

Its not close one guy got stopped twice by the best man he ever fought and his best wins are over B class fighter. The other is arguable the most dominant champion ever

MCCALLUM?! Please tell me youre not serious! Mike was 40 and washed up. Sosa fight got stopped way too early. Saad's resume ****s allover Roy's! Virgil Hill fight was at 178. And no way is Virgil better than Conteh and Johnson, no matter how much I like him. Roy's opposition was mostly subpar compared to Saad's. He fought mostly guys that came from nowhere and disappeared into nowhere afterwards.

And you forgot to mention Marvin Camel, Lottie Mwale and Murray Sutherland on Saad's resume. Qawi was a very tough matchup for ANYBODY back then, even for Jones he would be gruelling. And MSM was already worn out and faded from all the gruelling battles he had.

LMAO did you really just say John Conteh and Marvin Johnson are better than Virgil Hill that says all I need to know.

Marvin Johnson was as good, if not better than Virgil Hill.

John Conteh was certainly better than anyone RJJ fought, apart from Hill.

lol you can't make this stuff up

[kendom]

Wasn't Hill 34 at the time of the fight with Jones?

Very clever how how included MSM's losses on their resumes, but neglected showing that Roy lost to Tarver (2x), Johnson, and (technically) Griffith. I believe that is called selective discrimination.
