Better Legacy: Wladimir Klitschko or Roy Jones, Jr.?

[Guest]

The guy who provoked this thread was and is dead serious. And I'm not talking about Sin. This came about because CanadaJoe claimed Wlad had the better legacy. I hope he looks at these numbers real hard before coming back to post again. Same goes for the other Einsteins whose names are right there with his.

Don't worry, I don't think anyone takes CanadaJoke's posts seriously around here...

Wladimir's legacy will be one of the best of all time by the time he retires. He has 43 KOs and 48 wins...and this Saturday that should improve.

His list of achievements - Olympic Gold, 43 KOs, coming back to win the title and defend it twice so far when everyone thought he was finished - is not yet complete. Another impressive win and he should be Ring Champion, and a unification fight with the winner of Ibragimov/Chagaev would give him three titles.

We should talk more about Wlad's legacy in a year or two, because his best may be yet to come.

Whining about judges decisions again? That's a ***** trick...I watched the video, Jones lost and won Silver, get over it! The announcer was heavily biased, Park was winning from what I see...

what the hell where you seeing?

From Wikipedia:
Jones represented the United States at the 1988 Seoul Olympic Games where he won the silver medal. His participation there proved to be controversial when he lost a highly disputed 3-2 decision in the final. Jones lost to South Korean fighter Park Si-Hun, despite pummeling Park for three rounds, landing 86 punches to Park's 32. Allegedly, Park himself apologized to Jones afterwards. One judge shortly thereafter admitted the decision was a mistake, and all three judges voting against Jones were eventually suspended. Most observers still believe the judges were either bribed or otherwise coerced to vote for the local fighter by Korean officials. However, the official IOC investigation concluding in 1997 found that 3 of the judges were wined and dined by Korean officials, but the IOC still officially stands by the decision. Jones was awarded the Val Barker trophy as the best stylistic boxer of the 1988 games. The incident, along with another highly disputed decision against American Michael Carbajal in the same games, led Olympic organizers to establish a new scoring system for Olympic boxing.

CanadaJoke is a very appropriate nickname for you.

Something about RJJ being superhuman in some of his most uncanny knockouts. It's almost like an anime exageration.

You really can't compare the two. One is a methodical boxer while another is pure speed, art and brilliance.

He'll be judged by most people for his accomplishments, not his losses. All of the all time greats except for Marciano have losses on their records. Another two or three years of consistent KO wins and Wlad will have quite a legacy.

I never seriously said that Wlad has a better legacy than Roy Jones Jr now, what I meant was he has a better legacy than Jones had at age 31, and if he continues winning and unifies the heavyweight division than he will retire with a better legacy than Jones.

I know that's almost heresy to the Jones worshippers, who would like to have me burned at the stake or at least banned for saying that, but we are all entitled to our opinions, and that's mine. I have great respect for Roy Jones Jr, but my watching Wladimir Klitschko in the 1996 Olympics and later winning the WBO title in 2000 is the reason I became a serious boxing fan.
