Who ranks higher than Roy Jones P4P?

You can rag on him all you want, but prime RJJ was as unbeatable a fighter as I've ever seen. Are there fighters who rank ahead of him all-time P4P? Lots. Would I take any of them over Roy in a head to head fight? Nope.

I think the prime Roy Jones was as good a boxer pound for pound as any boxer I have seen. I would rate him as one of the best of all time pound for pound. Jones was 35 years old when he lost to Tarver and Johnson. A boxer's prime is 25 to 29 years old. It is not age 35. The 29 year old Jones would have had no problem beating any version of Tarver or Johnson. The 35 year old Jones was not nearly as good as the prime Roy Jones. Some boxers age better than others. Since the question was about the prime Roy Jones I don't count those losses he suffered at 35 and older against him. Look at Sugar Ray Leonard. He was great in his prime but just a shell of his prime self at age 34.

I know don't how good he really was.....he used peds.

Man sit your ass down somewhere and learn the real history before you hate on a legend. Roy was passed it after coming down from heavyweight I wouldn’t call Roy the greatest but he def up there top 10 all time no one was touching him in his prime. Top 10? Lmao

Sugar Ray Robinson is about the only to come to mind

According to that f*cker hopkins and toney were prime when they fought roid. That is bullsh*t. You are just a Tarver hater LMAO, I don't give a damn about Tarver. :lol:

Beat a prime Hopkins and toney... that more then smoke and mirrors A prime Hopkins?!? 1993 was prime B-Hop???? Two full years before fighting to for his first title, and two years before fighting Mercado to a draw? Hopkins didn't have an amateur career. When he was 17 he was sent to prison for five years. His second pro fight was in 1990. After three years of boxing, Hopkins was prime? Most would consider the B-Hop who embarrassed Tito into retirement was prime. That was 8 years after the fight with RJJ. The whole time RJJ was at the top he refused to have a mega-fight with a rematch with a prime Hopkins and refused for a mega-fight with Michelwaski or however you spell it. To say the B-Hop that RJJ beat was prime is more than a stretch. Hopkins was a rookie, with about three years of boxing experience. If that was a prime B-Hop a prime Floyd Mayweather was probably when he was 10 years old.

I think Roy was a little past it by 2000. I'd say his prime was from about '93-'94 - 2000-2001

I hear people say a prime Roy Jones Jr. was the GOAT P4P. Who do you think ranks higher than him P4P? It depends how you define greatness... Greatness to me is what you achieve relevant to you’re era and contemporaries. I personally have RJJ #6 on my top 10 all time list behind SRR, Armstrong, Ali, Pep and SRL. However, in terms of pure ability it’s hard to argue anyone was better than Roy. In his prime he was the closest think to unbeatable there’s ever been in boxing

LMAO, I love how a 35 year old who'd been pro for 15 years, went up to heavyweight and shrank back down to LHW was in his "prime" now. Ridiculous I think Roy was a little past it by 2000.

lol neither was prime.... When Roid jones was in his prime he got knocked out like a tomato can by Tarver and Journeyman Johnson... LMAO, I love how a 35 year old who'd been pro for 15 years, went up to heavyweight and shrank back down to LHW was in his "prime" now. Ridiculous

I hear people say a prime Roy Jones Jr. was the GOAT P4P. Who do you think ranks higher than him P4P? I'd imagine a fair rating for Jones on an all-time ranking would be between 30-40 but I'm not mad at someone having him somewhere in the 20s though.

A better question would be who DOESN'T rank higher. Roy was all smoke and mirrors. Beat a prime Hopkins and toney... that more then smoke and mirrors
