If Roy Jones Jr Never Left 168.....

and the quality of his opponents went up. Tarver was the first guy he fought in about 8 years who presented a threat (Ruiz aside, who was a terrible heavyweight in my eyes)

ruiz was too damn slow. he couldnt hit him with anything even semi clean. lol,,,,he lost to fat toney just as badly

joe would have never beaten roy in his prime, n-e-v-e-r.

laughing at anyone who thinks otherwise.

You have to ask why he spent his prime years avoiding the best super middleweights by fighting bums at LHW for 8 years.

Dont get me wrong, i like Roy, but lets not pretend he proved his doubters wrong. Plus the steroid scandal wasn`t great for his legacy.

point taken. roy could have made that fight happen, however, who was joe calzaghe back then? a nobody.

[ИATAS]

****** question. roy would have killed joe. ****, probably could still beat him (maybe).

[THE REED]

I THINK HE gives joe more of a run for his money than hopkins does... i wont say he ll beat him... but it would be more competitive in my opinion

[THE REED]

Montell Griffin beat him.

montell did not beat him? roy lost, montell didnt win... montell was givin him some competition during the fight... but the past part of the fight.. montell was slowing down... HENCE THE KNOCKDOWN... and hence the 2nd fight

I guess Bowe didn't win those two fights with Golota. A win is a win, Roy made a mistake, got DQ'd and avenged the loss in the rematch.

Sure Griffin didn't outbox Roy to a decision win or KO him but Roy got DQ'd and that was that. Griffin got the W in his record to prove it.

My original point was that anything can happen in Boxing, people who think Calzaghe could NEVER beat Roy are wrong, anything can happen, DQ, cut, whatever.
