    If Roy wins tonight is he Top 10 All Time?

    If he wins his overall resume will now look pretty impressive.

    James Toney - When Tony was undefeated and in his prime and at the time a top 3 pound for pound fighter.

    Bernard Hopkins - One of the best Middleweights of all time. Probably top 3

    Joe Calzaghe - Top 3 pound for pound at the time Roy beat him and was undefeated at 45-0.

    Montell Griffin - Beat James Toney (twice) and was undefeated at the time Roy knocked him out.

    John Ruiz - Not a big name or a great heavyweight, but still he's still a heavyweight and was champ at the time. Ruiz was coming off beating Holyfield and Roy went from 160 all the way to heavyweight.

    Virgil Hill - Knocked him out with a body shot


    Not a bad resume there. But 1st Roy needs to beat Calzaghe

      Other than Ray Robinson name a 160 pounder the last 50 years who you would bet on beating prime Roy Jones.

        I think he wasted too many years fighting bums. He clearly had the potential. Had he succeeded, undefeated with a resume equal to Oscar's then maybe yes.

          In all honesty, a healthy James Toney and B-Hop. I'm not saying they'd win but very possible

              Ok lets look at a guy like Marvin Hagler. Would you consider him top 10 all time or maybe top 15?

              If Roy beats Calzaghe his resume is better than Hagler's. I think prime James Toney and Hopkins both beat 1995 Hearns and Duran of 1983.

                  Roy will win. He is motivated and he impressed me with his win over Felix.

                  Roy Jones UD

                    Toney and Hopkins are both better technical fighters than Tommy know how to make adjustments, slip and counter better than 1985 Hearns. Tommy's come out strong attack would not work against either because both are great at slipping punches and taking away your best punch. They also take a better punch.
