        He's got a sick legacy at 175, but even there he ain't the GOAT.

          legacy wise no... but straight up in a boxing ring.. just who wins? roy gives them all a run for them money between 160-175... and IMO and a lot of others nobody beats him at 168.. including joseph.

            I think this is what the starter is implying. Legacy wise Roy isn't in the conversation at 160 or 168 because he didn't fight long enough at those weights. At 175 he is more in the conversation but the best is pushing it. However like Reed said in his prime at those weights is where the argument is, and I don't think I would pick anybody over him.

              sickening
              so his 20+ defenses where against Welterweights? There were only two welterweights. And Tito had his power from WW to MW. He knocked out Joppy. And Joppy has a legit Chin, and he was champion. Most people thought Tito would knock out Hopkins.

              Jones fought a FAT OUT OF SHAPE RETIRED TITO, and nobody talks about that.
