Who was the most dominant fighter in their prime: Tyson, Jones or Pacquiao ?

[Mugwump]

Domination isn't just about knocking over fighters - it's WHO is being knocked over. Top drawer or Tomato Can?

With that in mind Pac > Roy > Tyson.

true story

[THE REED]

like roy jones fought the best...

He beat the guy who dominated the MW division for 10 years... after Roy beat Bernard, Bernard didn't lose for 12 years.

He beat 44-0 James Toney, a guy ranked #3 on the p4p list at the time... and Roy moved UP in weight to do so.

Ring Rankings at Light Heavyweight in 1998 before he unified all 3 belts.

1. Roy Jones Jr.
2. Dariusz Michalczewski
3. Reggie Johnson
4. Graciano Rocchigiani
5. Lou Del Valle
6. Eric Harding
7. Montell Griffin
8. Michael Nunn
9. Antonio Tarver
10. David Telesco


Ring Rankings at Light Heavyweight in 2003 his last year as Champion.

Roy Jones Jr., Champion

1. Antonio Tarver
2. Julio Cesar Gonzalez
3. Dariusz Michalczewski
4. Glen Johnson
5. Eric Harding
6. Clinton Woods
7. Silvio Branco
8. Montell Griffin
9. Richard Hall
10. Mehdi Sahnoune


He moved up 20 lbs to fight someone that would STILL outweigh him by 30lbs.

Moved back DOWN in weight to fight the #1 LHW champion in Tarver.


You are right, Roy didn't fight anyone.

[Ryn0]

Jones easily, Tysons prime was really short and he was beaten in his physical prime by Douglas. Jones hardly lost rounds in his prime and it lasted quite a while, Pacquiao is dominant but only for the past 2-3 years we still have a while to go.

[KESSLER]

That's easy.. Roy Jones.

dont get me wrong man, only said it because of what cau said

roy did fight competition but to say that mike did not is absurd... and roy did ducked some people in his day, you being the biggest rjj fan should know


knocking guys that outsize you in 1-4 rounds > wide uds/tko in my book

Roy moved from MW>SMW>LHW>HW and knocked them out in every division except HW, and he still rocked Ruiz.. a guy who outweighed him by 50 lbs from Roys previous fight at LHW.

Roy ALWAYS moved up in weight and fought bigger guys than himself, and Roy fought from 154lbs.

He has 54 wins .. and 40 by knock out... thats hardly going UD all the time.

[Gutz]

Tyson for sure..



I remember my dad buying the PPV and saying.. I hope this doesnt end in the first round again..

[SplitSecond]
