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

Whatever helps you sleep at night.

Zsolt Erdei > Roy Jones also

[THE REED]

I find it funny that some of y'all have Iron Mike ahead of PAC. Outside of having an undefeated record of KO'ing bums, being the youngest HW champ ever.

The quality of PAC's wins clearly destroys Tyson's destruction of bums. I mean, Peter McNeeley, wtf. I'll take Rustico Torrecampo over McNeeley any day of the week.


And also, I'll give the edge to PAC over Jones Jr., here's why. It's the way he destroyed those ATG's. It's the way he tore through divisions, overcoming huge odds.

Jones, having beaten B-Hop and Toney. I wasn't impressed in the manner he won those fights. At his highest weight, Jones took on the easiest fight against Ruiz. Jones Jr has also proven that he was never the same after the Tarver KO. Whereas, PAC has come back stronger in his ko losses, and again is on a recent tear ever since he lost, his only lost in US soil.

First of all Pacquiao was 16 when he was knocked out and Roy Jones was 35.

Second of all, in Pacquiaos prime he has lost, been out boxed, had split decisions and draws.

Pacquiao is on a tear RECENTLY. Just last March... LAST MARCH, he went life and death with Marquez.

It has to be said that Roy dominated his fights but never an entire division

1 year of Manny does not make him more dominant than all the years Roy dominated and embarrased his opponents

How in the world does the Pound for Pound fighter in boxing avoid Michalczewski and Calzaghe (who at the time nobody heard about)

Maybe the casual fan hadn't heard of them but true boxing fans knew who they were and knew they were the best fighters Jones could face at the time...

[Calilloyd]

Darius is AT MUCH fault for not making the fight as Roy Jones... Roy didn't want to go over seas to fight and Darius didn't either. Roy held 7 titles in the LHW division at the same time.

As for Calzaghe, Joe barely cracked the top 10 while was Roy was in the SMW division.

I'm glad you pointed that out. There seems to be an extreme double standard when it comes to why that fight never materialized.

Maybe the casual fan hadn't heard of them but true boxing fans knew who they were and knew they were the best fighters Jones could face at the time...

calzaghe was never a possible opponent that anyone talked about for jones while jones was in his prime

and calzaghe calling out jones was like any other unheard of fighter calling out jones

[Calilloyd]

come on man, even the casual fans knew ruiz was a bum... rjj was a heavy favorite againts ruiz if im not mistaken

Ruiz was no bum. He had wins over Hasim Rashman, Fres Oquendo,Evander Holyfield(although past his prime) And Kirk johnson. All of those fighters were top ten. Even at this late stage in his career he gave Ruslan Chagaev all he could handle losing a split decision. Ruiz has a very difficult style and Jones made it look easy. I'm no fan of Ruiz but calling him a "bum" is not fair or accurate and Jones deserves full credit for beating him with the size disadvantage and difficult style to deal with.
