He lost to Tarver, Johnson, Tarver in a row. No, I do not think he is underrated. And that was at the age Calzaghe is now. In that time frame Calzaghe was beating Hopkins and Kessler, who are both better fighters than Tarver and Johnson.
There's losing and avenging your losses, but then there's losing and losing again. Jones was a great. Not no more.Comment

I think sometimes people get unique styles and appeal mixed up with greatness. Roy Jones was special and his style gave a lot of people trouble and is one of my all time favourites. However, just look at his resume and then you will find out how he can't be a top 10 ATG. Most of his resume is padded out with people who made him look good. There are a few great wins in there like the James Toney, maybe even counting a young Bernard Hopkins. But he didn't fight enough top competition for me to be a top 10 ATG.Comment

your comparing joe staying stagnet at ONE weight... then moving up 7 pounds to fight someone whose 43....He lost to Tarver, Johnson, Tarver in a row. No, I do not think he is underrated. And that was at the age Calzaghe is now. In that time frame Calzaghe was beating Hopkins and Kessler, who are both better fighters than Tarver and Johnson.
There's losing and avenging your losses, but then there's losing and losing again. Jones was a great. Not no more.
to a guy that fought at heavyweight, and dropped 25 pounds at 35 years old ... and you think is a reasonable comparison?
and do you also think if roy had stayed at LHW and never went to HW that it would still be the same outcome...
theres excuses, and theres reasons.... losing 25 pounds of muscle, is an actual reason.. if youve ever had to do it yourself.Comment

Jones offered Liles, Benn and Collins 7 figures to fight him back in 96. they all turned him down, and Liles had never received a 7 figure payday back thenAlso Jones never ever looked comfortable on the ropes even back when he fought Hopkins he looked out of his comfort zone on the ropes and he has never had the ability to tie his man up it would have been interesting to see how he would have coped with a aggressive fighters like Benn & Collins and a slick Lefty like Nunn who had quick hands and was a good counter puncher
Nunn
Benn
Collins
are the fights i would have liked to have seen him inComment
