Roy Jones, Jr: The best ever at 175 lbs

[The Old LefHook]

Maxim and Moore aren't beating anyone. They are far too slow for Roid Jones. But there are plenty who will beat him because he had no chin on him.

Pastrano beats Roy Jones?

What’s this, comedy hour?

Have you ever even watched Pastrano fight ? - You just go with the crowd? - U fan boy ? I was so impresed with the Traver II fight I guess I just lost control and figured damn near any reasonable LHW could pound RJJ - got no chin to fight at the ATG level. (Please insert here one of those laughing faces the children use.)

Thanks for sharing. . . nothing.

Er yeah mate I’ve watched every Willie Pastrano fight that’s available for viewing.

Please, please tell me in what fight did he show that he was even in the same stratosphere as Roy Jones? Who did Pastrano legitimately beat for you to make this ridiculous claim? How many ranked opponents did Pastrano beat in general? Pastrano couldn’t even carry Roy Jones bags, he’s not even remotely close to his level. The only reason he was even Champion was because he robbed Harold Johnson in a fight that he clearly lost.

To even compare them is absolutely outrageous, to suggest he’d actually beat Roy Jones in a boxing match is no more than hilarity.

He was something below 175 lbs.

What about all those KO's archie has?

- -Maxine Jellymon told us Roy could play basketball all day before whooping Dempsey, Louis, and Ali all on the same night, and he/she/it gets paid millions to tell us that, so it must be true...

I have the same opinion regarding his best weight. Too many guys at 175 are technically gifted, and have enough natural ability to make roy's super powers minimized. I don't even put Roy on the list of great light heavies. But at 168 he is tougher. More punch resistance, more power, etc.

He dominated Toney and Hopkins and ran roughshod through the LHW division.

Seeing past prime RJJ get KO'd almost brings tears to my eyes.

He dominated Toney and Hopkins and ran roughshod through the LHW division.

So what? David Tiberi dominated Toney.. - I thought this conversation was about 175. The Toney fight was at 160 not 175 - Also at 160 he decisioned Hopkins in a stinker - at 168 he lost to Hopkins .

Just don't see what impresses RJJ fans - great steroid body I get that- but turned out to be a second shelf fighter with a dimple in his chin.
