Roy JonesJr. Most overrated in history!!!

[THE REED]

how can roy not be considered 1 of the best middleweights and hopkins is.jones beat hopkins and toney

because hopkins had 20 title defenses... roy had no longevity at MW

but wins over hopkins and toney are more impressive than wins over delahoya and trinidad and those are hopkins biggest fights at middleweight

Jones-Toney was at 168.

toney was at smw


your argument is based on roy at mw

roys only notable win at mw was bernard... he had 4 title defenses and moved up to smw


bernard stayed at mw for 10+ years and had 20 title defenses


as far as pure MW career stats go... Bernard > Roy

I still think roy was a better fighter at MW then bernard ever was... but thats not the argument...

I'd bet willing to bet that the creator of this thread has not seen more than five RJJ fights, and more than likely they were ones when he was past his best. It's hilarious when people talk about his glass jaw, when he didn't get stopped until he was 35 years old.

I think many people will say.. thats because he didnt get hit til he was 35... but thats for them to say.. not me..

Who gives a damn? The man was fast enough, with lightening relfexes, not to get hit. His jaw was certainly strong enough to take some punches from a full fledged heavyweight, among others. Had Roy retired at 34, there wouldn't be any question about his jaw, and it would be hard to picture anyone beating him in his prime. To me, it still is.
