Roy Jones JR is the most overated Fighter ever

[Bonafide]

So are all the RJJ fan boys Happy with Roy's career?
Do you feel he has faced every challenge and beaten every contender he could?
Are you happy with the choice of opponents?For someone so Talented do you think he has made the most of that talent?
Can you accept the cheating?

That is my only beef with Roy. He had all the tools he just didnt get to show them agains the cream of the crop.

Roy Jones JR is the most overated Fighter ever ,im not saying he was'nt a great fighter cause he was & i love watching Roy Jones JR he is briiliant to watch 1 of my favourites ,however ive had enough of the people that massively overate him & there seeem's to be a lot of people on NSB that overate him

he won the Heavyweight Title yes but John Ruiz is possibly the wosrt heavyweight Champion ever , Toney beat him aswell let's not forget

Roy Dominated James Toney who is an Elite fighter ,this to date is his best win & it seem's though his legacy is based on his dominence of this fighter ,Toney proceeded to lose his next fight agaisnt a lesser oponent in Montell Griffin however

Hopkins was'nt any where near his prime when these 2 clashed u can say that Niether was Roy But Roy was a better fighter at this stage of his career than Hopkins ,different fighter's peak at different times though just look at Calzaghe his best form has come with Experience etc

To Many people read into the triple hooks Roy landed against nobody's like Bryan Brannon & the stunning KO''s ,and the way he dominated C Class fighters like Kelly ,Frazier ,Lucas,Telasco,Hall ,

all every well & good but he would'nt have played basketball before a fight had he been fighting someone of any substance & we all know that ,to many people base Roy's greatness on what he would have done to fighter's had they fought & that is plain wrong IMO

Just to repeat Roy was a great fighter i do not disagree but he was'nt as great as people make him out to be or maybe he was but one thing's for sure he did'nt prove it against the best fighter's Post Toney ,Great oponent's make u truly great IMO


BTW i dont know why people bring up Mike McCallum when they mention Roy resume ,McCallum was an old man by then do u think Roy would have done that to the McCallum that fought Mike Watson not a chance

Do you realize you didn't really have any points for your argument in that whole post?

Roy Jones had a very good resume, not a great one, though he did handily beat two greats, including dominating one of them in his prime. His greatness stands out in his performance in the ring, his dominance, and his head to head ability. Because at his peak, I can't see many(if any) beating him around the 160-168 mark.

What a horrible thread, Roy Jones was not the most overrated fighter in history. He gives any fighter prime 4 prime there share of problems.

China chin Roy couldn't even get past Glen Johnson, yes Calzaghe would smash his China chin.

Im a paid member of Btalk. Those statement are false. Hopkins and RJJ were in negotiations for a while and Hopkins agreed to take less than 50% and RJJ still priced himself out of a fight. The frist fight is a joke now, it was in ****ing 1993. After being KTFO by Tarver and Johnson, Hopkins was THE WAY BIGGER draw in boxing.

Actually im a member of **********... and Bernard hopkins went on recording with greg Leon and said that he would give roy a 50/50 split... Roy was surprised and thrilled when he heard the news... and said lets do it... When bernard sent the contract... is said that after Golden Boy Promotions takes 25% of the total amount... that bernard and roy would THEN split the remaining 75%... which would basically be a 37.5%/67.5% split in Hopkins favor... since hes apart of GBP.. he didnt do what he said he would and it pissed Roy off... email Greg about it yourself... go read the interviews after Hopkins sent the contract.. he even has it on recording... and after roy said what he did... Greg Leon asked Hopkins about it on recording.. and hopkins said... "were not gonna talk about that.... werre gonna talk about this..." and never talked about it...

Roy is scared of Hopkins. Bernard would crucify him and smash that China chin.
