    Roy Jones Jr and his "Greatness" ???

    Roy Jones Junior was undoubtably an exceptional talent!

    But I think, he could have been SOOOOO MUCH MORE! Had he not avoided the best in every division?

    So what will he be remembered as now?

    A Great boxer, a great personality and excellent for boxing because he is one of the most talk about boxers in general and no publicity is bad publicity, so he is great for the sport!

      And speaking on his skills it took 15 years for someone to beat him, and when someone really went out lookin to attack him (Vinny Pazienza) he avoided gettin hit for a whole round, his recent losses are nothin he would have probably stopped Johnson 2 years prior and why did it take so long for Tarver to go after him I think it was because Jones beat him in the amateurs and he wanted to wait for Jones to get a lil older

        Michalczewski would have KO'd Jones if they fought prime for prime. Michalczewski's power and relentless style plus underrated boxing skills and chin would have exposed Jones and dropped him.

        However I do like Jones he is a great fighter, one of the greatest fighters in the last 10 years, he has beaten practically everybody there is. James Toney, Bernard Hopkins, John Ruiz and many others.

          Michalczewski vs. Jones would probably have been possibly the biggest light heavyweight boxing match of all time and it never happened thanks in part to both of them....what a shame

            Its very hard to say about Roy, I believe his skills are still unmatched, and he could have whuped both Tarver and Johnson with ease, if he wanted to. He can still comeback and prove his greatness because i dont think he would want to be remembered as a fighter who was retired by a knockout.

              If Roy comes back I dont like his chances against any of the Light Heavyweight title Holders

              Erdei

              Tiozzo

              Johnson

              The Lt. Heavyweight division is very strong

                Roy jones is still roy jones, none of these names can match his. If he can recover from his loses, he can climb the ranks very fast.

                  none of those guys have the name recognization that Jones does, agreed, but Johnson already did put Jones on his is ass and Tiozzo and Erdei are just as good if not better than Johnson, or Tarver for that matter. But Jones has the championship mentality if he does come back, who knows maybe he will be unstopable and sweep the divsion, its not a totally remote possibility.

                    Johnson fought a very week, and unrecovered Roy jones. Roy still has about 3 or 4 years left in him to go out on top...if Roy recovers its the possiblity of him being champ is very high.
