    top 5 no doubt, he's one of the best middleweights that's ever stepped into the ring, he dominated at light heavy also, and even held a heavyweight belt.

    Whenever I think of "good middleweight" Jones instantly comes to mind, I can't see how anyone could think otherwise. You can bet some old timers will shove there faves ahead of him though.

          [QUOTE=Sweet Pea****;3664899]Corrales was not weight drained, Toney was. Explain how Corrales was weight drained when he beat about 7 more fighters after his lost to Mayweather at that weigtht division, which was super featherweight. Toney moved up to light heavyweight right after his loss to Jones. I can give you many boxing articles that stated Toney circumstances. He had to be hopitalized and had to hooked up to Ivs before the bout to avoid fainting. Hatton (Unbeaten)

          Corrlaes(Unbeaten)
          Boldimr(Undisputed welterweight champion)
          Genaro Hernandez(super featherweight champion)
          Oscar De La Hoya( Junior Middleweight champion)
          Jose Luis Castillio( Multiple lightweight chmapion)
          Zab Judah( Former junior welterweight and undisputed welterweight champion).

          These are not even it. These fighters alone are better than Jones opposition. Now, you go over Roy's opponents so we an compare them. I am very interested in seeing how he beat better line of fighters.

          Hopkins and Toney are the two great fighters that he has beaten.



          Corrales was not weight drained against Floyd LOL i dont care if he fought at Bantamweight after the PBF fight that night he fought like he did not have a heart beat and he looked half dead in the face

            I put the **** top 100, which is maybe a little hard, but come on.

            If you wanna get even top 20, you have to PROVE it. You don't prove your greatness by beating Clinton Woods and John Ruiz.

                  You guys are basing your assumption on Roy's performance against mostly pathetic competition. Ray Robinson was certainly better than anyone else Roy ever stepped into the ring with. Beating 40 so/so or average guys doesn't give him a shot at beating Robinson. I think Roy would've been put to sleep by the first left hook Robinson landed.
