        Roy has one of the great resumes in modern boxing right there with Duran, Leonard, Ali and Chavez

        A+ wins :

        Dominated prime hall of famers james Toney and Bernard Hopkins

        B+ wins:

        Dominated Montell Griffin 1, Eric Harding, John Ruiz, Julio Cesar Gonzalez, Virgil Hill, Mike McCullum, Merqui Sosa.

        Did not have one legit loss in his prime

          His resume is not in par with the fighters you named.

          Hopkins was not prime.

          Jones was legitimately losing to Montell Griffin when he was DQ'd.

            Based on resume and quality of wins I am confident I could compile a list of 30 fighters who should rank higher all time than Jones, so my answer is a resounding no.

              B+ wins over Gonzalez and Sosa? A+ over a weght drained Toney? That is pretty damn generous.

                Wholey disagree.

                I have him Top 50.

                H2H doesn't count for much on my lists though.

                    Roy Jones Jr. is definately in the top 30 all-time. He won the title in quite a few divisions and at his prime he always put on a great show, Just watch Roy's knockout dvd.

                    Where Roy has tainted his legacy is by continuing to fight well past his prime in which his style based primarily on speed that is no longer there similar to what happened to Sugar Ray Leonard at the end of his career. Foreman and Hopkins pack good power and depend on more timing than speed to be successful into the twilight of their careers.
