ridiculous as it might sound to some i actually think Roy Jones could be in the top 3 ATG List based purely on talent not achivementComment

I have to agree. If these fantasy match ups were possible, I think we'd be surprised at who would have beaten SRR.
I don't get the comparisons, Robinson was at his best as a welterweight while Roy Jones was not at his best as a middleweight.
Hard to say who I would favour over who at middleweight where both fighters were not at their best and where Roy Jones' best opponent was an inexperienced Bernard Hopkins.
I don't see anyone who I would favour to beat Roy Jones at SMW from the people who competed in that division (Toney, Calzaghe, Benn, Eubank, Collins...) but I do think an inexperienced Roy Jones could lose to the great middleweights (Hagler, Monzon, Robinson...).
Jones could also lose to the great light heavyweights (Spinks, Foster, Moore, Charles..).
Notice I said could... I do not believe that fights can be predicted accurately, look at what happened in Jones vs Griffin I.
You can only give your opinion on them.
Montell Griffin gave Roy Jones a tough fight in their first one, check it out: http://youtube.com/watch?v=ft05fq3kcXELast edited by TheGreatA; 05-15-2008, 07:08 PM.Comment

Bollocks, for christ sake Roy Jones is far to big for Ray Robinson anyways......it's silly comparing the two. Im sorry but Roy got knocked out by a awful tarver and a average Johnson, I don't care if he wasn't in his so called prime but losing to those fighters seriously dents his career.Comment

That is so damn ignorant of you Jim, but would I expect something different? Nope...same ol'...same ol'
China chin? He didn't lose a fight for 15 years, and lost when he went up to Heavyweight, and dropped back weight drained WHILE out of his prime. That **** was impressive, do you think any other fighter can go up to HW like that or dominate like he did all those years? Hopkins, Toney, McCallum, Hill...enough said, 4 HOF Fighters, 4 Weight champion, The fighter of millenium...none other than one man.
Its funny how people love to hate on the best, I'm sure you will give Ali **** for losing to Berbick and Holmes too? or say Ray Leonard is crap because he lost to Norris? Great fighters always lose when they are out of their prime years...I would love to see you lose 20 pound of muscle some day...Comment
