If Roy wins tonight is he Top 10 All Time?

[Allucard]

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.

That would be pretty much impossible unless your name is Floyd Mayweather Jr. Now seriously i think Jones has a impressive resume as it is. Even if he loses he will still be greater than Joe obviously (did not beat Toney when he was 40 and shot, but in his prime and Toney remains to this day a better and more accomplished fighter than Zaghes.

The version of B-Hop RJJ faced would have lost to Thomas Hearns/SRL

I give RJJ credit for the win against B-Hop and James Toney but ask yourself...Is that the James Toney your used to seeing? I mean before that fight

1993 Hopkns had been coming off like 20 straight victories so it wasnt like he was completely raw as a fighter. I actually think he was great then also just Roy had such freakish quickness and athletic ability. Hopkins was a great defensive fighter back then also.

Also the 1987 version of SRL is no where close to SRL of 1978-1982 when he was active, sharp and his conditioning was at its best. No Layoffs.

Im not sure how 1987 SRL would have done against a active young fighter like a Hopkins. Remember Hagler had slowed down a lot by 1987. I dont know if those flurries would work against a young B-Hop who would counter when Ray combos. Hagler of 87 was to slow and not the same Hagler of the early to mid 80's. Ray was wide open when he was throwing those flurries. A active young fighter would counter him when he did that.

Now 1978-1982 SRL is a different story. Thats the Ray Leonard i grew up idolizing.
