Dispute anything in the OP

His career was smoke and mirrors

Just a few points.

Jones vs Benn was lined up after Benn beat McClellan but Benn was going through a divorce and issues with his promoter.
I also think it's fair to say that Nigel was affected by the McClellan fight.

Jones vs Collins had been agreed but Collins had some kind of heart murmur during training and promptly retired.

Hopkins never moved up to 168 while Jones was there and wanted 50/50 against the P4P leader who'd already beaten him.

Calzaghe never chased Jones while he was in his pomp, stating in an interview that "he's (Jones) earned the right to choose".
His father Enzo called for the fight to be in the UK, which was a non starter at that time.

A fight with Dariusz would have made most sense in Germany but again, Roy wasn't going to travel in those days and there wasn't enough pressure on him to do so.
For all the lineal claims, Roy was very much "the man".

The cruiserweight division held less interest back then than it does today and Jones already beaten Toney. I don't recall much clamour for a rematch but I'll happily stand corrected.

Ruiz was naked opportunism. Roy was never going to fight Lennox.

The guy was monster.....but he not ranked as high due to lack of opposition which idk who to blame.

But he deserves his current status in boxing.

You implying he was a fraud or that he deserves criticism for not taking fights out the country etc?

...... I'ma have to look in the OP....

Roy Jones was a hypejob without textbook skills. When his speed gone, pathetic KO losses came. A truly skilled fighter should be tough even at low pace.

Well you’re right in that regard with the skills.

Jones style aged soooooo bad hahahaha.

I can’t think of another boxer who was at the very top, who suffered so many bad KOs.

He really should’ve changed his style or done something different later in his career.

Then the cherry on top was losing to Mike Tyson.

There are present day MFers (the entire HW div) getting the ATG treatment with far worse credentials.
A guy like Bud can get p4p mention because of some lame ass ''eye test "

Pac's resume is shady AF but he's #3ATG.
Mike Tyson is a legend for crushing bums and verbally raping reporters.

Who in the hell would have beaten prime RJJ

Roy Jones Jr career was a disgraceful farce!
