        You fight a guy for the middleweight title, and as soon as you leave, he becomes the MW champion for the next 10 years... in Bernard Hopkins.

        You move UP in weight to fight James Toney for the SMW title who is 44-0 and on the p4p list... and the guy doesnt win a round.

        You move up and practically clear out the LHW division. the DM issue, was not solely Roys fault... DM Came to the states to watch one of Roys fights, flew back and was never heard from again... and at the time, Roy was the man, had most the belts, you wanna be the best, you gata come to the states and fight, and DM didnt.

        Then you move up and fight one of the HW champions... it doesnt matter who it is... the fact that roy came from 154 pounds as a fighter and then schooled a legitimate HW champion, is remarkable... like he says, nobody did it, in over a 100 years, so if its so easy...........

        Then he moved back down lost all that muscle, and fought the NEW best LHW in Antonio Tarver...

        And now hes fighting 45-0 Joe Calzaghe...

        Theres a lot of fighters out there that wish they had those accolades.
        Yeah, Jones' resume is good, it's nowhere near as weak as some make it out to be and he's accomplished a lot in the sport, he deserves a lot of credit for the things he has done.

            what difference does that make whether Terry Norris does or dont wish he had Jones resume ?

            i like Norris cause he was excting to watch etc,think about it if i was concerned with supporting successful fighters and being a glory hunter i would support Floyd or someone else

            i dont care what people say about Norris im a fan cause he entertained me not im not a nuthugger

              pretty much every fighter has some fighters they could have fought, not all fighters, but alot.

                when people say Jones was unbeatable thats borderline idiotic that is the issue i have NO fighter is unbeatable

                like i said im a huge Jones fan but some people just go waaay over the top i made this thread as a bit of flame to get people talking to gauge opinions i dont necessarily hold that opinion im just throwing it out there

                  OMG unrealistic? What did i say that's unrealistic to you? Read what i post again.... Did Griffin last in 1 full round on their rematch? If That's your opinion, probably your not a fanboy of Jones...

                    You started a thread that says did Roy avoid the best fighters because he had a weak chin.... but..... you dont necessarily believe that... i mean, come on...
