    WHy is jones considered a top guy in boxing again??

    and why are we arguing that he could beat hopkins , wright , tarver ,....? i mean hopkins defeats all time greats like wright and the best at LHW tarver. while jones defeats some contender who moved up to fight at LHW. and now the jones - hopkins - wright ,... threads keep popping up. Roy jones is in my opinion top 10 Pfp off al time . but hes past his prime .and isn't top 10 PFP now.

      Tarver looked flat and horrible that night against hopkins and you know it. That wasn't the top LHW at his best.

        Because all guys at Jones' level need is one or two good wins and people think they back to what they used to be. Jones could still beat 90% of the guys out there in his weight class. It's whether or not he can actually beat the top guys.

          It's just good to see him come back these last couple of fights and box well. Although the last two opponents haven't had great power Roy took some of there best shots. And especially Hanshaw who laned some solid uppercuts.

          He just trying to build his confidence. And I think it's great that he wants to fight again before the end of the year. It's really a good plan he has for a comback. Stay busy, build your confidence, and then fight your true challenge.

            Jones handspeed is way faster n hopkins n winky by miles. This is y ppl think jones can beat hopkins n winky. winky would get his ass owned he was to fight jones in da nxt 2 yrs. mayb wen jones is lik 41 then he'll probably lose.

              his reflexes have gone downhill. all he does is cover up most of the time. if he faces a decent puncher its only a matter of time before he gets Ko'd again.

                Roy Jones Jr: "My speed is back, but my reflexes have slowed a little."

                it shows...

                  I don't think he is a top guy in boxing at this point but he has done enough recently to get a shot at a big fight.

                    Many fans are delusional just like some fighters.
