Bert Sugar ''Roy Is 88th On My 100th Greatest Fighters List''

[Sergio Martinez]

Whats the faces for?
I see people all the time saying how great Roy was,How fast he was,How great his reflexes were...Its easy looking good against postmen like thornton,Or the Richard Fraziers and Brannons of this world but they are all ultra bums.
Do you dispute that his resume leaves a hell of a lot to be desired?

Yeah, it's not like future Hall Of Famers Toney and Hopkins were good fighters, or even bums like that Olympic Silver Medalist Virgill Hill, who made 20 title defences all in all at LHW.

Or how about tomato cans, like the 27-0 Julio Cesar Gonzalez, future world champion Clinton Woods, or like world amature champions like Antonio Tarver.

And any 175 fighter could beat that bum John Ruiz, who holds wins over the likes of Hasim Rahman, who knocked out Lennox Lewis in turn.

What a **** resume, that really is!

Wow, I think this is far to low. So he thinks Roy isnt even a top 50? WTF.

Bert's ratings are crap. But yet he has Jack Dempsey at Number #9 of all time.

bert sugar doesnt care about any fighters after 1970

bert sugar doesnt care about any fighters after 1970

Almost 25% of his list is made up of fighters who's careers spanned thru the 70's or after.

but you know what i mean it was an exxageration....specifically i mean he has a biased if you hear him talk any time he mentions boxing he only talks the old days and doesnt even mention the present fighters

Get me a history book from 1862 and I find ways to smother the wins of those great fighters.
On that list are fighters, that couldn't even touch Roy Jones.

Get me the fighters on that list, who beat roy jones.
A few of the greatest heavies. A half hand below and that's it.

Did Calzaghe, Griffin, Johnson or Tarver make the list?

[Spray_resistant]

You could put any notable fighter anywhere you want if you can come up with some logical reason......but Bert is old so I give him a pass for grossly overrating fighters he grew up watching.

[¤¤¤]

he followed boxing in a different time than you guys, so his "bias" for older fighters makes some sense.

[Zerwas1]

Did Calzaghe, Griffin, Johnson or Tarver make the list?

armchair warrior without knowledge

Griffin ....beating Roy while lying on the canvas by disqualification...great argument

Calzaghe...who of these boxers was succesful at 39? Tell me 5 out of 100
should be easy, shouldn't it? have fun

[Xyei]

in other words..you had to fight when tv was black and white to get ranked high on his list...old bastard..lol

I agree. He seems to romanticize the fighters from the old days a bit much.
