    Roy was a freakin specimen though. the type of movement, quickness, angles of movement he had were supernatural at times and i hardly ever saw ability like that in any other sport.
    the only time that overall ability was seen was ray robinson in his prime.

        No way in hell, he ducked too many fighters in his prime. Prime Sugar Ray Robinson was the greatest p4p boxer ever hands down, he would KO a prime Roy Jones Jr. without a doubt at 160 and 168, possibly even 175. Jones Jr. was overrated

          RJJ could have been or possibly had the ability to be but unfortunately for all Boxing fans we did not get to see him fight all the best fighters in his era for what ever reason

            Jones Jr. wouldn't have a chance against any elite HW, he was knocked out cold by Tarver and ****in Glen Johnson. Wlad would KO a prime Jones Jr. in 1 or 2 rounds no problem, Jones would be out cold for 2 hours just like he was when Johnson put him to sleep.

              you have to remeber all that happened post Ruiz when he came back down in weight which obviously effected his equilibrium, i dont think im trying to say RJJ would win that fight but it would 'nt by any means have been an easy fight with RJJ pre Ruiz

                Your point is totally moot. A 35 year old Roy after Ruiz is like Michael Jordan with the Wizards. Wayne Gretzky with the Rangers...NOT THE PRIME version of the man. Roy at 160-168 was a freak of nature and in a league all his own. SRR is the greatest of all time and certainly the best of his era, but Roy makes SRR look slow, has more power, faster hands and is smart in the ring himself. I say he KO's Sugar Ray Robinson, believe it. Now all the Roy beats all the heavies except Lewis and Tyson is just crazy talk. Roy is 5-10 and naturally an ectomorph with smallish hands.

                    Roy in his prime COULD beat anyone under HW from any point in history Im not saying he would win everytime but speed kills and Ive never seen that kind of speed at super-middle or lightheavy. His hand and foot speed was ridiculous as well as his upper body movement. I wish he had have fought more top guys, but I think hes still an ATG
