    Who put up the better challenge?

    Well Roy Jones has been on the comeback trail for quite some time now. He's fought the likes of Anthony Hanshaw, Prince Badi Ajamu, Felix Trinidad, Omar Sheika, and now Jeff Lacy for his comeback/tuneups. Which one of these fighters put up the best effort against roy, and present the greatest challenge for him?

    Well I thought points wise Hanshaw did the best but as a challenge I was afraid when he went on the ropes and let Sheika land on him.

        yeah i remember scoring the hanshaw fight 117-110 or somethin like that. I believe Hanshaw gave him the most trouble. I wasn't worried about sheika at all, the guy was rusty as hell and looked incredibly flabby at the weigh in and even more so on fight night.

          How can you make a list of so called comeback opponents for RJJ and not include the old Calzaghe that dominated the prime comebacking Roy. Post Tarver fights should include all opponents not just the guys he beat.

                No offense to Roy (or his fans) but none of those guys were ever any challenge to even a past prime Jones.

                Trinidad may have been had he not been years retired, fat, old, and completely out of shape.

                  you punked me? How is my list biased? I asked about his comeback/tuneup opponents. A comeback/tuneup fight really isn't supposed to be against an elite fighter. Learn to read and interpret.

                    Whats with Tito anyway, is he retired or not? He says he won't fight anywhere below 166. What kinda **** is that? I know for sure he can get down to at least 158. He isn't very muscular and it's not like he's really tall neither.
