still beating legends and former champions.
Just goes to show how good he was in his prime, when people say he is a shadow of his former self, yet he is still a top 5 in the LHW division, and carries on beating legends and former title holders, and is getting ready for a mega fight with Beranard Hopkins, next year.

im prolly the biggest roy fan here but until he beats a top 5 LHW or Cruiserweight...then i'll be convinced that he is washed up... =/
but i still love watching his fights dont get me wrong
He shouldn't be world ranked honestly, he's 5-4 in the past 5 years, knocked out brutally in 2 of those losses and dominated by Calzaghe another one of those losses with the best win coming over either a blown up, inactive Trinidad or the near shot Lacy.
Man, the way you guy's are talking, your making it sound like Roy wouldn't have killed all these guy's you listed in his prime! How is RJJ not a top ten? Of course he is..
I cannot wait til he proves this against B-HOP.
Well that is what everybody is saying that he needs to prove it... He just does not get a top spot cuz his name is Roy Jones. He needs to earn it he needs to prove. We can not be living off the past...
Ever since he dropped all that weight from the Ruiz heavyweight fight he has never looked the same.
Some say it was the loss of muscle,
Some say it was the loss of interest,
Some say it was just the style matchup of Tarver (Tarver's style would have always given him problems -- even in his prime)
But if its one thing that most will agree with, that in his prime... he was a great fighter.
WTF, Daniel Judah? Would would destroy him!
Yeah that's kind of a reach. Even an old Glenn Johnson beat Daniel Judah in a fight that has me thinking the Road Warrior may have gotten old over night kuz he looked like shit compared to the Dawson fight. But yeah.........Daniel Judah??? RJJ could prolly whoop him with one foot in the grave, nevermind one foot in the door to retirement
I am sorry I am not impressed by Danny Green. And, if Roy losses that fight he should deffinetly retire...
Exactly fam, Danny Green is like an Australian LHW imitation Ricky Hatton
mack beats the dog shit out of him, diaconu too. havent seen enough of campillo to have an opinion.. but dawson, hopkins, johnson, cloud, pascal, tarver, george the two already mentioned and maybe even daniel judah all beat the living hell out of RJ. im a fan of his, but thats just the way it is.

I expect him to beat up the limted Danny Green to. To win the IBO Cruiserweight Title, which is a nice little accomplishment for him.

I think Roy still beats Yusaf Mack, Gabriel Campillo, and maybe even Adrian Diaconu.

That being said, the sad truth is Id still rather watch an old Roy than half these dudes out here now. Even on his way out, or "shot" as some call him, he's still incredibley entertaining to watch; maybe even moreso now that he gets hit more
I to still enjoy watching Jones fight, wish he would stop them showboating antics do. Felt sorry for Lacy in that fight when Jones was doing all that hopping around shit.

When has he beat a "legend" in recent times?
He beat an inactive, blown up Tito Trinidad, a few bums, and a few shot to shit guys. I can see where you're coming from and all... but he hasn't beaten anyone to really say "Wow, he's good" in recent memory. IMO.
That's my feelings exactly man. His next opponent Danny Green is a strong, tough guy.......but that's not a boxer that my kids or grandkids are gonna be talkin about, odds are they'll never even hear of him. Look how he fought against that bum from Argentina or wherever on the RJJ/Jeff Lacy PPV. That guy was took some shots don't get me wrong but he was easily the worst fighter I can remember watching. He was walking at Green completely square to em n just swingin both arms he looked like he belonged in a fight on an elementary school short-bus, he was pathetic n yet Green didn't just blow him out. Green actually got hit a lot more than he shouldve, thankfully that poor awkward bastard can't hit. Green should be nothing more than a payday......same thing any fight has been for some time now(Slapzaghe just happened to be a lil more lively than RJJ thought)
RJJ still has great handspeed but he's on his way out, his legs are gone. He lays on the ropes so much more now n it's not just to clown his sub-par opposition it's kuz he can't move like he used to. BHop is gonna execute RJJs career, or what's left of it.
Well I guess we will agree to disagree. Roy has to prove me he still has it. I have not seen anything from him recently that would make me think he could beat any of them...

Exactly he has not beaten any. Hanshaw name to fame was having an overrated trainer in his corner. And, winning a C level SMW tourney... Hanshaw is not that good. Name 1 LHW contender that Roy could honestly beat?

Not many, but he has beat lots in the past, and Hanshaw was a pretty touted fighter who Jones toyed with.
Roy still beats some 175 contenders.........

In the last 2yrs what top 10 LHW has he beaten?
