let him prove hes a decent champion before you chase ATG.
hes been showing he is elite, that should be enough for now without pretending hes higher.
By trying to sell him as something hes not, you devalue what he is, dont you fans know that yet?
I appreciate your response.
Got links or proof of the steroids?
It's an old story from back around 2000, came out after the Richard Hall fight. Jones tested 6x higher for the testosterone precursor androstenedione, but he tried to claim it was just an over the counter supplement. Typically when athletes test like this it's a indication something sketchy is going on, same with Floyd's IV and testosterone levels.

I was a big fan of Jones in the 90’s and 2000’s. Anyone could make an argument for him for top 30 status. I just think the steroids tainted his legacy just enough to keep him out of consideration.

Let’s just wait until he takes on Haney, Garcia, Davis, Berchelt, Stevenson, etc. Let’s see how it unfolds and we’ll go back to this question.... Maybe after few more years
Roy Jones beat HW Ruiz for title
In 03.
Roy is def top 30 ATG. At his best I would be interested in seeing a list of fighters you believe would beat him at 168-175?

Nope, outside of Pacquiao, no one from the last two decades is a top 30 ATG.

No, stop it.
He was arguably the best fighter in the world for about a year. that's it
Not long enough to be an ATG in the top 30.
Now, is he going to the Hall of Fame?
Yes.
He's the greatest fighter of his generation, and his resume is absolutely insane.
Has he done enough to be considered a top 30 ATG?
Crolla
Campbell
Martinez
Koasicha
Walters
Marriaga
Linares
Rigo
Pedraza
Piriyapinyo
Rodriguez
Russell jr
Sosa
This is an insane resume? This is a top 30 resume?
Floyd gotta be tbe then.
Smh
Top 30???? Are you mfers stupid???with 16 fights?????? There are fighters that have had more than 16 fights with hall of famers and you’re asking if a guy with 16 fights, and his biggest wins are over Rigo , Russel and Walters which are good wins btw, is a top 30 fighter all time? Trust me, I can name 30 fighters now easily that rank higher than lomachenko
Im still trying to figure out what generation he is suppose to be the greatest of..
The amateur generation. The guy couldn't even beat a green kid with 15 fights.
