Roy Jones the farud

at MW: Beat Bernard Hopkins who went on to become the undisputed MW champion with one hand who had 20 title defenses and is a guarenteed HOFerSeriously, Roy has to be the most ridiculously overrated fighter in history! Lets take a look at what he's done.
When people thought of him as great on his run from MW to HW he never even beat a linear champion (top champ in the division) and he never once defended against his top rated contender. Roy is the ultimate paper champion, he is a fraud of the highest order.
At MW: Won a vacant strap against Bernard Hopkins. Made a couple of defences against nobodys then moved up when G-Man was a clear #1 contender to him.
At SMW: Fought a dead at the weight James Toney (Liles was the linear champ at the time) and won. Fought cops and postmen instead of fighting Eubank, Benn and Liles.
At LHW: Won a vacant title against Griffin (at the second time of asking) then went on to duck DM for a whole 5 years.
At HW: Fought Ruiz who wasn't even top 3 for a Don King manufactured strap, Got called out by Lewis then ran away back to 175.
The first time Roy fought a #1 contender was Antonio Tarver after moving down from HW and the only reason he took that fight was because Lewis called him out.
This guy is a fraud, he's the biggest fraud in boxing history who avoided all the top rated dangermen and took vacant titles and fought for the lesser straps.
Edit: Yeah, i notice the typo in the thread title
at SMW: Erased dispute about being a fraud by beating one of the pound for pound best and former champion to his MW title James Toney. Meanwhile Eubank and Benn publicly stated they would not fight Jones
at LHW: Lost a controversial decision to Griffin and avenged that by destroying him in the rematch. Beat about a dozen of future and former champs of the division, some of them who have kept their titles until just last year
at HW: Took a dangerous fight against a much bigger, younger man in Ruiz and schooled him. Although I will admit Ruiz isnt the best heavyweight he has defeated Holyfield, Rahman, Johnson, Golota and nearly beat Valuev not too long ago.
If youre taking about facts take all of them into consideration or else you'll just be made to look like a fool. No matter how carefully you think anyone can duck tough opposition in this sport you dont compile a resume like that by doing so

Great Opinion. Roy Jones fought C fighters and some D fighters his whole career. When he faced Hopkins, Hopkins was a C+ fighter.
Then when he beat these guys he was expected to kill *all those BUMS* he ran his mouth like he was hot ****, but THE REAL fans, not the nutthuggers, Know the truth. Were not blind.Comment

Yup !!!!
Take your own advise on this one or i'll just keep destroying your posts.at MW: Beat Bernard Hopkins who went on to become the undisputed MW champion with one hand who had 20 title defenses and is a guarenteed HOFer
Please, Hopkins was nowhere near that level then. He got the **** out instead of fighting G-Man too.
at SMW: Erased dispute about being a fraud by beating one of the pound for pound best and former champion to his MW title James Toney. Meanwhile Eubank and Benn publicly stated they would not fight Jones
Where do you get your facts from? Benn and Eubank both wanted him, Eubank stated less than a month ago that Roy wouldn't fight him. He wouldn't fight Steve Collins either.....All these guys must be liars though.
at LHW: Lost a controversial decision to Griffin and avenged that by destroying him in the rematch. Beat about a dozen of future and former champs of the division, some of them who have kept their titles until just last year
Ducked the top fighter in the division for 5 years....I guess just like Eubank, Benn and Collins this guy is lying to though....
at HW: Took a dangerous fight against a much bigger, younger man in Ruiz and schooled him. Although I will admit Ruiz isnt the best heavyweight he has defeated Holyfield, Rahman, Johnson, Golota and nearly beat Valuev not too long ago.
Fought a bum, lets not get away from the fact that Ruiz is garbage.....Lewis called him out and he ran back to 175. Lewis must be a liar like Eubank, Benn, Collins and DM though.

I agree with this thread completely. Roy ducked the best opposition all his career cause he knew he had a glass jaw. If there's one thing more annoying than a fraud its a cheat, Roy had amazing physical gifts, just a shame they weren't natural...Comment
