    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
    Roy actually had just one title defense at middleweight, against Thomas Tate.

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.
      But if he retired at heavyweight... he would of never matched what Bob Fitsimmons did 106 years earlier...

      Go from middleweight to heavyweight, and then BACK DOWN to light heavyweight and win...

      ROy wouldnt of accomplished what he set out to accomplish...

      After he beat tarver the 1st time he should of retired... knowing it was his worst performance, and his body went through hell to keep his weight down after adding all that muscle...

      But what can ya do...

            I already knew that off of memory, because of The Ring's issue of "Greats of the Game" back in 2001 with guys like Jones, Hopkins, Morales, Trinidad, Tyson, Rahman

            It was ranked as one of Roy's 10 best wins

              Take Hagler from the early 80's vs Roy Jones and it's a better fight.

              More than a few people suspect that Hagler was older than the 34 he was listed at too.

                There are conflicting reports saying 1954 and 1952 for Hagler's birthdate.

                The prevailing notion is that the real date is 1954, as Hagler falsified his age to be 2 years older to enter a tournament.

                  Hagler certainly looked like an old man in there whatever his age was, not that he did that bad but he was nothing like he was in his prime.
