Instant Hype: John Ruiz
No Quality Opposition: 1994-2004

Nice try... Unfortunately, your opinion is a little too out there to be taken seriously. Calling his opponents "no quality" is a disgrace to the sport of boxing, and to your "reputaion beyond repute" here at BoxingScene. Between the years of 1994-2004, Jones beat everyone.

James Toney
Bernard Hopkins
Clinton Wood
Eric Lucas
Reggie Johnson
Otis Grant
Lou del Valle

I also think your definition of padded record is a little hazy. Padded record means a fight in which the winner proclaims to be career making or a career defining bout but is really a mandatory chump, or a big payday, or a challenger who he'd like to **** up. Jones didn't stake his career or his P4P ranking on any of these bouts that you have seemingly pulled out of the 50 plus fight "hat" of Roy Jones.

I've decided not to entertain the John Ruiz comment. You and I both know that was a good fight for Roy. He couldn't turn it down.

hmm

Roy is not overrated. He is not underrated. He is simply one of the best of all time, and he would have a chance vs any fighter in his prime.

He was selective at times, and so were many fighters who are all-time greats. Don't detract from Roy based on his recent losses at an advanced age.

Roy is not overated but he is done now, and he should stay done.

No, don't waste your time. You have no credibility in these types of boxing related subjects.
We'll call you when the next Klitschko thread gets created.

yea i totally agree...watch roy jones fight...he makes all of his opponents look terrible because of how quick he was. He does to well known fighters what msot fighters can do only to their opening competition.

I used to think maybe jones jr was overrated because of his last few fights. But, now that I've seen him fight in his prime, there's no way that he was overrated. How many titles did he win in how many wieght classes? He beat some tuff competition as well, it's not like he just crused on through.

Well at least you realize that I am the board's Klitschko expert.

I wonder where all the people that said Jones is overrated in other threads are. Goes to prove that most of them have no idea what they're talking about.
