too many people say RJJ is overrated and diminish his aclomplishments, and claim that he didnt fight anyone, ok i am just going to give you to examples;
James Toney- come on he fougth him at supper middle when they both were undefeated, and KO'ed him, now a fit fast toney, that now as a fat man is giving hell to the heavyweight divition.
Beranerd Hopkins at middle, a future hall of famer who went on to do defend his title a record ammount of times, lost to RJJ
lets add anotherone how about Montell Griffin who he unarguably beated twice, was undefeated and had also defeated James Toney.
and ofcourse he won a HW title what else should he have done to be considered a good boxer.
ohh yeah and all those Ring Magazine figther of the year help too
now you got the nerve to say he didnt fight anyone??
Muhammad Ali prove that wrong.
Ali backed it up.. but Smokin Is Speaking the truth as well. Ali was not always so loved.. In fact for a long time he was Public enemy NUMBER 1
People Don't REALLY think the bad things they say about RJJ.. Its just really Hard to like a GUY who has no respect for his opponents.. Most people don't realise.. But they hate Self proclamation.. Its an insult to people to TELL them what their opinions are when they are more than capable of forming their OWN.. So when someone starts going on about how they are the greatest it pisses people off and makes the Them wish the speaker would get his head Knocked in.. Hence all the venonm RRJ endures... A little humilty is good for your popularity..
Yo, he did more than your boys Eubank's and Benn's Brit f.ag. You jsut say's that cos you love your brit f.ag's, LMAO, owned!
step away from the pipe...
Roy fought both Hopkins and Toney before they really hit their prime in boxing, but they were still good wins.
The reason people deride RJJ is tht when things started getting deeper in the MW and SMW divisions he ran to LHW where there was no competition and hid for years fighting nobodies.
As for his heavyweight win, he chose the slowest, worst of the champions to fight. He refused to even talk about fighting Byrd, who would have made him look bad even in victory (assuming he could even beat Byrd), and couldn't take the punches from the other HW champs, so he demured on those fights and used Tarver as an excuse to vacate his title and go back down where he thought he might still have a chance to win another fight. we see how well that worked out.
I think RJJ is the biggest waste of natural talent ever.
Roy has had many memorable fights. Anyone who claims he didn't fight anyone, or he could've fought this person or that person, needs to chill. The man has done things in the ring that fans like us may never see the likes of again, you must respect that!
He ain't done either....he just said today he'd knock Tarter's ass out in a 4th fight and if anyone believes that Woods or Calzaghe make Roy shake in his boots, you're crazy.
Roy Jones - Toney,Hopkins,Tarver,Hill,Ruiz
Floyd - Genaro Hernandez,Carlos Hernandez,Goyo Vargas,Angel Manfredy.Diego Corrales,Jesus Chavez,Jose Luis Castillo,Zab Judah
You forgot Montell Griffin, Clinton Woods, Eric Harding, Reggie Johnson, Mike McCallum, Vinny PAzienza, and Jorge Fernando Castro.
It was more like a push! Anyway Jones fought a Toney that was overweight that was having trouble making weight, Toney was also having some personal problems during the Jones fight.
The Toney that fought Jones, would've lost to many other decent fighters that night.
The Hopkins fight was much closer and Hopkins was a nobody at that time, he was a green fighter, with very little amateur background.
Dogg, watch Roy's Beyond the Glory, James Toney said "He beat me fair and square."
Exactly it, Flew over to america, so U can get the beating of ur life. I'm done talking, keep talking shit and u wont have to find me, I'll be in 3D motherfucker.
Are you looking to get banned? If you want to scream, go to the Thunderdome, keep the pointless "I want to fight you" posts in there.
LOL! Imagine that at work: "What did you do for your holidays?" "I flew over to America so some guy on the internet could beat me up." :D
What's a GED anyway???

Roy Jones was the truth. PERIOD Look at some of his fights, their will never be another like him. Hell floyd Dosen't even compare. Sorry folks. I'm not going to get into another argument about it. the proof is in the Tapes. I'm out Roy haters, and pbb nut huggers. Roy is like puff and Nas "U can hate me now, but I wont stop now, I wont ever stop !" BITCHES ! I hope he goes back on top again and retires, will it happen ? 40/60 y-n BITCHES
What gets sad and pathetic? Polarising diverse opinions into infantile categories like "haters" and "nuthuggers"? If you don't like the thread or the discussion, don't read it and don't post in it. Simple.
This is one of the few times I agree with you. Good Post

People under the delusion that Roy never fought anybody and ducked DM.
Dont get your panties in a bunch.
I still maintain that you can't say a man is a great unless he's proved that greatness against superior opposition. Otherwise we might as well just say Amir Khan is P4P top ten material right now... because he looks shit hot when he's fighting some little guy from the local car warehouse.
I don't think it works comparing Roy and Khan. Roy fought plenty of good fighters. Kahn is still a prospect. How could Roy fight superior opposition if he was the best? No one is superior to him.
Now, he could have fought some better fighters at 168, sure. But I've been through this over and over and the reasons these fights did not happen cannot be chalked up to simple things like 'Roy was scared and only wanted the money.'
Laughable, to say the least.
I'm not even going to justify what I just said, it speaks for itself.
u can't justify anything because u cant back up the shit u say. give me one fighter roy ducked.. just one and don't say darious because we all know thats bull
Roy fought and beat every champ available, what else was he to do, Cat jumped to heavy and whooped ass and people still don't respect him. Their will never be another fighter like rjj. I'm not saying he is the best ever, but def an all time great.
