      Always amazing how the angry whiteboys always look for any chance to try to discredit Roy Jones.

        No, I think he was overrated before the fight and I think he's overrated again

          Well, his legacy was not damaged. Is not like his loses came to bums. Hopkins, Wright and Roy Jones Jr are probable HOF too.

            And Tito is not overrated.

            Tito's career at welterweight > Hopkins career at middleweight (my opinion, I guess it's debatable)
            Tito's career at welterweight > Winky's career at 154

                ? How so.. By having Balls to fight anybody unlike Mayweather? Ring rust and all..comes back to fight a great like Jones who fought a 230lb heavy not long ago... THis warped sense of avoiding tough fights so as to have a "legacy" is overrated. Tito is the man and at 147lbs... His legacy remains intact.


                Mayweather has NO real legacy. Tito's will always be intact.

                    he only loses are to hopkins, winky and jones. who he fought at middleweight and 170 pounds which were clearly not his best weights plus they are all future hall of famers so no his legacy is not damaged

                      Fo mainstrem fans he may have damaged his legacy because he got beaten by some fighters, but not for real boxing fans. Its no shame to lose against Jones or Winky.
