In Roy Jones' 1st time facing adversity he folded like a lawn chair...

His greatest asset was his God given talent. When his age came that went and it didn't help that he drained himself back down 20lbs. of muscle.

Roy faced Hopkins with an injured hand and still beat him. Roy was in danger in his first fight with Montell, and came back with a vengeance. He came back so hard he couldn't control his own fury and whacked Montell when he'd already knocked him down, which got him DQ'd. Roy rematched Griffin who'd given him his toughest match and iced him in 1 round. Say what you want about Ruiz, but Roy was basically a CW fighting a HW, took what shots Ruiz could give him, and dominated the fight to win. Roy was dead tired and physically weak in the first Tarver fight, and still won it clearly, particularly in his rally during the championship rounds. TS is a damn fool.

I disagree. Roy was dropped against a fighter who's name slips my mind. He got right back up to finish him off. You can't blame a fighter for having so much talent and ability they don't get hit often.

He faced adversity in Hopkins I and Tarver I

I don't believe any of Roy's excuses. He makes one after every fight. His hand was fine in the Hopkins fight. He probably had a hang nail at worst. So what excuse did floyd make after the first Castillo fight?

That's why I will never see him that high up on the ATG list. The first time Roy was cuaght "CLEAN WITH A BIG SHOT" there was a pillow and blanket waiting on the canvas for him... Well technically it was the second time because he beat Tarver the first time.

Roy is an ATG hands down. He had unbelievable natural talent and reflexes, that's why everyone loved him. But I do agree that when that chin finally got touched clean, he hit the deck. I grew up watching Roy, so I love the guy.

he fought Hopkins at MW with a bad hand....thats adversity!!....he was facing adversity against Griffin in their infamous 1st fight and responded.....Roy beat Tito with a tore bicep or some shit like that.....and I will NEVER forget the 3rd fight with Tarver when he was hurt and it looked like he was gonna get KTFO again, he manned up and started to walk Tarver down!!....come on man, Roy Jones is a boxing God!!....praise the man!! :boxing: Exactly.The man has faced adversity more then once and didn't fold.

Roy Jones was the best fighter since 1980 imo, not the most technicaly skilled or defensive, but his super human freakish abilities made up for all of that.

I literally lol'ed. So if you have a glass chin, you can't be an ATG? Doesn't this just show how SUPERIOR he was in his prime? Never get hit flush, and dealing out an insane amount of whoooop ass?

I've watched Roy jones for 2/3s of my 25 years. Most of his opponents consist of slow ass whiteboys. Nobody ever really caught roy with some big shit. Don't act dumb pussy. When he was caught big, it wasn't by dudes with high KO percentages. **** outta here. You always tryna talk who knows boxing and who don't. Boxing is my number 1 sport pussy. Since I was 4 years old in 1988. Just cus you're always on this website posting doesn't mean you know more than the next. It just means you're a a fat no pussy getting ass dude.... Agreed mate.

I'm curious to see how many times he's going to avoid this question. He ducked Im dazed question over 3 times now.

To say RJJ is not an ATG shows a complete ignorance of his career. Either that or it's a troll post.

You don't know what your talking about. He was past his Prime and hes the greatest fighter you will ever see. He wiped out the whole Light Heavyweight division. Everytime I ask people who say "he never fought nobody" I ask them well who should he have fought and they come up with Michelsheski or whatever I LOL at that when I tell them Really him? Who the F@ck is that? WOW like that dude was something good. Darius michelsheski was nothing! RJJR = GOAT

he pulled through like a true champion against tarver the first time when he was weight drained.

I'm curious to see how many times he's going to avoid this question. Me too. You can tell he's annoyed because he's so confrontational in his responses but he is really ducking this question.

I'm curious to see how many times he's going to avoid this question. He is probably one of those haters, who started watching Roy late in his career.

When was the first time you saw Roy face adversity? I'm curious to see how many times he's going to avoid this question.

lol, have you even watched jones' career? Jones had the heart of a lion.

LOL haters... I'll say the same thing i said in the other thread WATCH TARVER VS JONES I then we can have a conversation.
