Roy JonesJr. Most overrated in history!!!

[THE REED]

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 ******.

How many fighters out there didnt fight EVERYONE they should HAVE???

To discredit his accomplishments because he didnt fight this guy or that is ridiculous... read the sig.. it is what it is...

[Karlos81]

yep.. another common case of MUSTA FORGOT..

only treatment I can reccomend is watch his old fights.

"only treatment I can reccomend is watch his old fights"

You got it son PRIME Hagler speed although not quite as good as Jones but to the eye you would barely notice.

People think of Hagler the think Duran, Leonard, Hearns i dont i think of prime Hagler late 70s early 80s.

He would fooking destroy Roy Jones, fast, heart, pressure, power much better footwork and had a chin of iron clad granite. He is the greatest 160lb fighter ever.

Prime hagler was not in the arena of speed compared to prime 168 roy...

thats all ill say about it... im not saying roy could beat him...

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.

Where is all this Roy disdain stemming from? He is by far one of the best and has been entertaining his whole career and still is at age 39. One of the best.
No one fights like Roy they can only try to imitate him. In his prime I cant see any current or past top fighters beating him.

[Silencers]

He's a very good fighter, might be overrated by some but his athleticism and reflexes were incredible not many fighters has the combination of blistering fast combinations that have power behind every single punch, his resume may prevent him from becoming an ATG but considering his physical attributes, he'd give a lot of great fighters trouble and beat a few of them too.

I would like to straighten out what has clearly been blown out of proportion.. I never stated that RJJ wasn't a great fighter. There is no doubt RJJ was and still is a great fighter.. I never, ever wanted to discredit his accomplishments. I have been enjoying his multinle talents for many years. I only stated that he doesn't belong on any list for greatest middlesweights ever and thought that he was lucky in terms of when he reigned as champ.He did dodge certain fighters and changed weight to avoid a few others. That is just great management. Hats off to Roy and thank you for all the great memories..Never did I ,eam any disrespect. My appologies....
