Roy Jones Jr. The ducks he made at supermiddleweight.

Club. Fighter.

Wbo middle weight champ, wbo super middle weight champ demise.

[IMDAZED]

a right hook that johnson landed on jones also in the sixth round

Not to mention, Johnson was a champ like Jones was a champ. It was a unification bout and I think one of Jones' more underrated performances. He was in the zone that night. Once those legs went, so did he.

WBO was a trinket belt back then. No one took it seriously that had any actual boxing knowledge. Sorry. Nice try.

Collins was not a very good fighter. You're better off making Nigel Benn arguments to be honest. Go that route.

There's a great irony in this post as we listened to Hopkins tell us last night that he still wants to fight Jones. Anyway, Hopkins has a great resume. Jones does as well. I'm of the opinion Jones' resume is better.

Glen Johnson (Who beat Jones)
Trinidad (who was always a 154/160lbs anyway boiling down to 147)
Pavlik (Who beat prime!! Taylor, who beat Spinks, Hopkins 2x)
Tarver ( who beat Jones 2x, Griffin, Reggie & Glen Johnson, Woods)
Wink (Who beat Mosley 2x, robbed against Vargas, beat Quartey, Tito.
DLH who was a Light middleweight be the time he fought Hopkins, wins over Vargas, Castillej and what should of been a rematch win over Mosley

John David Jackson
Keith Holmes
William Joppy

Calzaghe held the belt for years then........LMAO (remember who collins took the belt from lad your only ****ting on your own boxers by saying that)

i'd like to see that fight, the cards tell a differrent story, against a very past prime johnson

Reggie Johnson himself admitted that along with the Jones fight, the Tarver fight was the only other one he felt he clearly lost.

J.S: And then after losing to Jones you fought Antonio Tarver in an elimination bout. Was that split decision against you fair?

R.J: I felt Tarver won that fight fairly, yes. I didn't do enough in that fight.

I have people today telling me I won that split decision lost to Antonio Tarver and I had him down and out in the 9th round but in my heart I knew I lost that fight and on January 25, 2002 the right man got the decision that night.

They may well do but if you watch the fight like i have you will know Tarver was the clear winner.

Yeah, he held a trinket belt for 10 years. Who cares. Always said his 10 year reign was against nobodies and assclowns while holding a worthless belt. Whats your point?

Go back and read my edited post.

Johnson may have been past it but he was coming off an extremely impressive, shocking and chilling KO of William Guthrie - the man many on message boards (like this one) had annointed as the person who would beat Roy. Guthrie was undefeated, trained by Roy Sr, was a tall, lanky southpaw with great pop in both hands and was being hyped by HBO as the man to challenge Jones. Johnson put his lights out with a beautiful, perfect right hook. He still had plenty...plenty left.

Like Jeff Lacy you dont get extra points for misplaced perception of a fighters credentials.

Fact is Reggie Johnson was past his best and fought like it against Jones.
