Roy JonesJr. Most overrated in history!!!

[Lenny McDaniels]

im sorry buddy but not one middleweight today would be able to beat duran hagler hearns or leaonard. roy did beat mccallum yes i know you are going to say he was older but he did beat him. and to the guy who said roy was taking to roids. lol your fav fighter is jeff lacey dude. who has he beaten in his career peter manfredo uhoh look out he may have calz shaking in his gloves.

No mw today could beat any of the four.. Exactly..Roy couldn't have been born at better time. That division was very diluted in the 90's My all time favorites.. 1)M. Hagler 2)R.Duran 3)G.Haugen 4) M. Tyson 5)M. Ali. 6) B. Sommers .

I wouldnt say you would even notice Jones speed at 160lbs over a prime 78-83 Marvin Hagler not at all.

Jones may outscore the version that beat Hearns and Leonard but Hagler at his peak was fast and relentless.

Ko within 8.

yep.. another common case of MUSTA FORGOT..

only treatment I can reccomend is watch his old fights.

All the talk of Roy Jones being one of the greatest middleweights of all time and Roy Jones the legend, Roy Jones the best pound for pound in the last 10 years.. Roy Jones stumbled into the middleweight division at the weekest time the division had ever seen.. If Roy was to have fought a few years earlier I don't think he would have ever won a widdleweight championship. Numerous fighters of the 80s would have made Roy look silly. Lets see how many fighters would have beaten him at thesame weight in the previous 10 years I guess we can start off with Marvin Hagler, Thomas Hearns, Roberto Duran, and Sugar Ray Leonard,Gerald McClellan,Julian Jackson,Nigel Benn,Chris Eubanks,Mike McCallum,John Mugabi,. There is a simple 10 no-doubters. We saw what McClellanan did to Roy as an amatuer. What if he would have hit Roy without Roy wearing the headgear.. Nite-Nite Roy.. Roy should consider himself a very lucky man.

haha.

It's funny how you listed guys too small to fight Roy............or guys who Roy would just ****ing whip ass on.

Deal with it.

He's hands down one of the top 5 Pound for Pound fighters of all time.

His level is the likes of one Ali, or Robinson.

top 5 pfp of all time, you are talking out of your ass. If your not joking then you are truly an idiot. Put down the bong.. RJJ is not in the top 100 all time pfp. A great fighter of his era, would have been considered a decent fighter if he would have fought in a different era.Look at his record?? He has fought who???? He wouldn't have been top 5 on my block growing up.. I would have punked him out of his lunch money daily, That is a fact!!!! Do you like kissing his ass or are you ***** for him or what.In my day, Ray Robinson wouldn't have even fought someone who shook his ass, tuanting after the bell every round, and Hagler, Marvelous Marvin would have made Roy piss all over himself. Not even on the same level of fighter. Deal with that you lil sissy. *****.. You see my name here pal.. Thats my REAL ****ING NAME.. I spent twenty years fighting. In and out of the ring. whipped everybody who thought they were tough.. Deal with it!!!!!

Yeah the TS praised Gerald McClellan in another thread and the last time I checked, the G-Man was black. More often than not, race has nothing to do with someone disliking a certain boxer.

I think the TS believes that Roy Jones was lucky because he did not have to face punchers like Gerald McClellan, Nigel Benn and Julian Jackson and he might be right.
One clean punch from those three could have put Roy's lights out, glass chin or not (I don't think Roy had a 'glass' chin).

This does not mean Roy Jones was overrated. He had a great career.

McClellan vs Roy Jones would have been a great rivalry that could have enhanced the legacy of both fighters.

Yes, nicely written. I would agree.You hit it right on the button.

Well you must of whipped some ******* son coz ive certainly never heard of you. I dont give a **** who you bullied out of the ring this is boxing son and for a decade RJJ was king, he demonstrated skills that would have fared him well in any era thats just plain obvious to anyone who has seen more than 5 of his fights! To disregard Roy as a great fighter shows complete ignorance and lack of insight and knowledge into boxing, all the greats were beat and even ko'd pal, Robinson, Leonard, Duran, Louis, all of them. You must of taken some serious licks around the head bud coz you been here 5 minutes and your talking smack, showing disrespect and getting slapped with the red

[Alonzo Harris]

Never heard of you. Neither has boxrec.com. You sound delusional.

[RichCCFC]

He's definitley overrated by many people on here. He ducked the likes of Eubank to fight Panzienza!

He's obviously a very good fighter but people who claim he could not have been defeated in his prime are very ******.
