Roy Jones Jr top 10 ATG...

[SCtrojansbaby]

Looking at this from another angle for a moment, lets take the discussion away from Jones. If we're evaluating whether he belongs in the top-10 all-time, it has to be said -- & this is beyond opinion, it has to be viewed as fact --- if we place any value in resume, there is absolutely no conceivable way Jones can make the cut. Call him the greatest fighter head-to-head ever if it so pleases you, but his CV is so overwhelmingly far behind dozens of all-time legends, he has to fall from grace.

Again, don't see that statement above as a mark on Jones' career, see it for how overwhelmingly fantastic the likes of Ezzard Charles, Roberto Duran, Archie Moore, Emile Griffith, & a whole host of others' careers were. They & many like them could certainly be argued to beat Jones head-to-head (speaking at my most conservative, in fact), & so factoring in their CV's being streets upon streets ahead of Jones', how could anyone realistically elevate him to the top-10 boxers ever, regardless of weight?

The longest reign as #1 Pound for Pound in boxing history 1994-2004

During his reign he did NOT HAVE ONE CLOSE FIGHT. EVERY SINGLE FIGHT WAS 100% DOMINATION

How anybody could possibly think Julio Cesar Crybaby is the second best fighter of all-time is beyond comprehension. Vincente Saldivar even making the list is demented.

[EMACULATE]

Every fighter in history has been accused of ducking someone, but I never heard anyone say Ali ducked anyone. Jones at his best is an ATG. I dont know about top ten or top fifty ecause he wouldve really had a tough time fighting back in the 1930-1950s. All those guys are under-rated IMO. Pac has clearly ducked the 140lbers especially undefeated guys who he can easily make the weight to fight instead of weight draining bigger guys and making a lop sided fight. Pernell Whitaker not a guy who has been acused of ducking anyone also. Present day warriors have the option of picking there opponents and belts really dont mean much to the likes of a P4P champion who is selling out venues and PPV numbers are above 1 mil an event.

Boxing commisions are corrupt and try toi get you to pay an absorbent amount of money to defend a belt that aint worth jak and they very rarely make the champ defend against his mandatory. So who really needs a belt and if the challenger isnt a PPV attraction in todays world of boxing. Floyd has become Oscar and like Oscar only fights once a year now or whenever he feels the need to bless us with his greatness.

So jones is good and maybe even great but by no means is a he a top ten ATG.
