If Roy Jones Beats Both Hopkins and Dawson...

Out of curiousity, how did Maske get the lineal title?

The title was vacant. And, the top 2 rated fighters fought for the vacant title. Which were Maske and Hill.

Julian Jackson was not relevant at the time? Terry Norris was not relevant at the time? McCallum was not relevant at the time? the body snatcher was not relevant at the time? John David Jackson beating Reggie Johnson relevant at the time? But, Reggie was relevant years later at LHW? And, a very green Hopkins was relevant?

At SMW Benn, Collins, Liles, Eubanks, McClellan was not relevant? McCallum was not relevant at MW or SMW at the time? But, was relevant years later at LHW?

I don't know how you can say how these fighters were not relevant or that they didn't stick around when they were all the MW and/or SMW when Jones was there?

I know fights don't happen but all these fighters were top level fighters that didn't happen. There are way more better names of the fights that didn't happen then the names on his resume. That is all I am saying.

Terry Norris was never a middle. John David Jackson got stopped by the same Jorge Castro who Jones beat up. And why are you complaining about Jones not fighting Reggie Johnson when Jones fought Toney? Jones was too big for middle when he won the title, which is why he moved up ASAP. You can list a string of opponents for every fighter that could've happened. At the end of the day, you must judge the fighter by his resume. How about you discuss that?

How did the lineal title become vacant? Doesn't that throw off the whole "he never won a lineal title" debate?

I am really not. But, until Roy wins a real championship a lineal championship then I can not rank him ahead of Pac. He was always the #1 contender to the real championship but never won it.

Pac has faced the better competition but hes only pound for pound #1 because floyd retired . Hes been #1 for about a year and a half while roy was on top for about a decde. Roy over pac

Roy is miles above pac p4p in the ring, but achievement wise Pacman could catch him.
But, he will never be as good as Roy in the Ring!
