Roy Jones Jr. - "Who is Greater? Me or Bernard Hopkins?"

[trainhard_187]

In their primes I would say Roy was a MoFo.

be real

No comparison between Roy and any other fighter ever. You can try your harderst to compare him to whoever, but bottom line, if you are being real with yourself, no fighter can match up to what Roy was able to do in the ring. Sure, there are fighters who went undefeated and then retired. Sure, there are fighters who had wars in the ring and won by decision. Sure....Had James Toney vs. Roy Jones been a brawl or Roy Jones vs. Bernard Hopkins been a brawl, some people would respect him more. What kind of sense does that make? So if Michael Jordan barely put the ball in the basket or barely dunked on other players would we call him the greatest?? No way....Roy blew competition out of the water so often and so easily he not only cemented his legacy, he took away other fighters potential to even have a legacy. No comparison. Roy Jones is the best there is, the best there was, and the best there ever will be. Easy

I see RJJ as GREAT GREAT GREAT GREAT athlete and a good fighter. Sometimez I think people mistake a great athlete with a great fighter.

[torrey.jones]

I'm sorry, but if you are in the ring, knocking people out, thats a fight. Roy battered everybody he faced. He possesses athleticism, surely. But he's obviously a fighter. If you are an athlete in the sport of boxing, you won't last, let alone set records and remain untouched for the better half of a decade.

Yeah, and you've certainly mistaken Jones.

An example of a great, great athlete and good fighter is Zab Judah.

You aren't a good fighter if you embarass James Toney, are the only man to decisively beat Bernard Hopkins in nearly 15 years, unify a division and are considered near or the top of the sport pound for pound for almost a decade unless you're great. And that's not even the half.

To easy. ROY JONES Jr.

Exactly. Anybody who listened to Roy Jones on HBO analyze fight after fight and break it down knows much more than an athlete, he's a student of the game. Combine the two,throw in his resume and you have an ATG.

I don't agree with what he said but I do think Roy all time is greater than Hopkins

[kingfaze19]

WOW roy jones is nervous and scared

what does a scary person do? they say things they dont mean,they get defensive,they sound unsure.roy jones is doing all three, i mean i already knew roy was scared of bernard but not to this degree.and he has the nerve to ask people whos the greater fighter.roy is a great fighter,he has speed, footwork and he is gifted,hes one of a kind.but look at the opponents he has had the last five years.tarver whooped him twice(maybe 3).glen johnson almost took his life.then he fought a bus driver,and a guy nobody knew(not even his mom knew him,then a fat kid(trinidad) i mean please. hopkins is the real lengend

[torrey.jones]

THAT HAD TO BE A JOKE RIGHT. B hop certainly is a Legend, but there are categories. He is gonna be in the James Toney, marvin hagler, tommy hearns, roberto duran category. Right under the Ali category, which is right under the Roy Jones category. Roy = The Greatest. B hop ain't even close to Roy Jones. Do yall even watch boxing?
