Is Roy Jones Jr, The greatest of his generation????

[Lazy Liberal]

Man was super blessed with athletic ability and was real flashy, but was he over and beyond others such as Tito,Oscar,Floyd,Hopkins???????????????????

I always felt that Jones benefited from a weak LHW divison where he was able to dominate just on superior athletic ability. Seriously, his toughest challenge at his LHW run was Virgil Hill, great win but hardly greatest of his generation.

I certainly rate him over Trinidad Floyd and Oscar. Its probably pretty close between him and Bernard now.

How can you say yes, when you have a pic of Floyd and state that he is the best in the last 20 yrs???????????????????????

[KILLA RIGHT]

Without a doubt he was the best of his generation

[luv3s2sp00g3]

Skillset-wise, definitely the best. Resume-wise, definitely not. I'd probably go with either DLH or Bhop if we were going by resume.

But you say Larry, that Floyd is the greatest of the last 20 years in your sig.

[Haterfree]

Roy's legacy is established. He basically won his 1st 50 professional fights without losing. He was the 1st man in over 100 years to win legitimate MW & HW titles along the way he added Hall of Famers like Hopkins Toney, & Trinidad to his resume. He is 1 of the great fighters of all time.

[Lazy Liberal]

Roy's reign at LHW is very similar to Mosley's reign at 135, a lot of no names and less than stiff competition.

Most definately Roy Jones is the greatest of his generation !!!
