    Roy is a legend, a HOF and ATG.

    Those guys are footnotes on boxing forums. Good fighters sure but they couldve built themselves like Roy did but they didnt. Roy was great without them. They are nobodies without Roy.

          To be fair Rocchigiani was far too old and rusty to compete against Jones in 2000. The fight with either Rocchigiani or Nunn should have happened in 1998 but Jones vacated his title to fight at heavyweight.

          In my opinion if you vacate the title to fight at a higher weight but don't go through with it, then you deserve to lose the title. WBC gave it back to him.

            Jones definitely deserved to lose his title. I think it was pretty disgraceful that they handed it it back after he had a change of heart. That said, he certainly didn't duck Rocchigiani. Rocchigiani was just a mess.

              Yup. He fought Clinton Woods instead. Very, very disappointing. And Jones would've been in one hell of a fight if he took that challenge.
