No he doesn't.
Jones wins:
James Toney
Bernard Hopkins
John Ruiz
Clinton Woods
Glen Kelly
Julio Cesar Gonzalez
Richard Hall
Montell Griffin
Virgil Hill
Mike McCallum
Holyfield wins:
Hasim Rahman
John Ruiz
Lennox Lewis
Michael Moorer
Mike Tyson
Rid**** Bowe
Ray Mercer
Larry Holmes
Bert Cooper
George Foreman
James Buster Douglas
Dwight Muhammad Qawi
I mean, there are a lot of hall of famers here. Most all of Holyfields losses come after his prime as well, that shouldn't be ignored.Comment

holyfield takes it all the way for me, that is of course besides Tye Fields
but just for the fun of it, (and i got nothing against roy jones) but i can take 2 of his best name wins and make a case for them
his first fight with bernard, neither of the fighters had reached their full potential yet, they were basically in the learning stages. bernard was nowhere the complete fighter that he became years later. he still had the old brawling Philadelphia style. with bernard's inexperience charging roy like that was not gonna win it for him.
his fight with toney everyone knows what happened there. Toney's weight issues were well documented before the fight, and he's still paying the price for his eating habitts.Comment

Holyfield has a very good resume, but not better than Jones. Some of those biggest wins for Holyfield were over fighters past their best, Jones biggest were mostly over prime fighters.
-Holyfield doesn't have a win over Lewis, in fact he lost to him twice, although Lewis was robbed in the first fight and given a draw.
-Holyfield also has looses on his resume to Bowe and Ruiz, along with the wins
-Cooper and Douglas, who had only one good career win on a night when Tyson was distracted, were nothing special
-Foreman was in his 40s, back in the early 70s he would have destroyed Evander
-Tyson was past his best, if they'd fought in 1988 or 1989, Tyson would have won by KO
-Holmes was far past his prime when he fought Holyfield
Roy Jones Jr has wins over prime Toney, prime Hill, and a young Hopkins. He never lost a fight for 15 years - that's very amazing - those wins add up to a great resume. His opponents were not hand-picked past-prime opponents. And Jones' win over Ruiz is much better than Holyfield's, because he was moving up from a much lighter weight. While Holyfield went from cruiser, he grew into heavyweight and it was his natural weight by the 1990s. But Jones is naturally much smaller (middleweight to light heavyweight) and was never close to being a natural heavyweight.Last edited by The Hammer; 06-18-2008, 06:07 PM.Comment
