Roy Jones Jr. OVERRATED?????

[Atwa_66]

I can add more names to that list...

Antonio Tarver, John Ruiz, Lou Del Valle, Virgil Hill, Eric Lucas, Eric Harding, Thulane Malinga, Reggie Johnson, Montell Griffin, Merqui Sosa and I'm sure there are more I am forgetting.

These were all good fighters, and Roy made most of them look like asses.

The only good fighter on the list you provided is Tarver. Ruiz? Give me a break. No question that Jones is a great fighter, and is one of the best, but when people compare his natural talent and ring skills to greatness, it's ridicolous. He made most of his opponents look like amateurs because they were no talented bums, i would hope he could do that. He was born with quick feet, and talent, but his ring skills are off, and the last knockouts he suffered were vicious. Ali had great ring skills and natural talent, making him A LOT better than Jones

Only an idiot would take away from what Jones has done based on his losses. Get out of here.

Ruiz was a threat to Jones based on size alone. Maligna beat some good fighters. Lucas went on to be a good champion. Tarver did as well. Griffin beat Toney twice and had his moment svs jones in the first fight, albeit short-lived. Harding just recently beat Telesco and also has a win over tarver in his prime. Lou Del Valle definitely had some skill. Virgil Hill had a great jab and went on the CRUISERWEIGHT champion, but one sstopped him with one shot.

These were all good fightes, I didn't say great, but they were good. Look at their records and acheivements. How can you say Jones was great and then say he didn't have great ring-skills, which many people, including boxing historian Bert Sugar, feel he did have in his prime.

Like I said, if you feel that way, get lost.

Thank you all for helping me shut the Roy Jones haters up. Many people can say he was overrated, but can't explain why...

Thanks again.

No one hates him, no one's been shut up. It's an adult debate, not a polarised "love" "hate" slanging match between two hyperactive four-year-olds.
