Where Do You Rank Roy Jones All Time?

[Guest]

Of all time greatest including every division?

He may crack my top 15, unfortunately for Roy he showcased his skills brilliantly and everybody claims he was fairly untested although he fought the best the division had to offer. There is always a question mark about Roy, was he that damn good or was his opposition just that bad?

That says it all for me... people rave about stuff like the "behind the back KO" but could you do that to any LIVE opponent, no matter how fast you were?

It's just disrespectful IMO to rank him up there with ATGs when he was never tested against anything approaching their opposition.

Plus... roids.

Love the guy, but all this "he's the bestest EVA" talk was a shock to my system.

Get your facts straigh Roy had a signed contract to fight the winner of the McClellan-Benn fight. It was Roy who backed out of the fight, and uttered these words. " I now have a different mindset about boxing, since I saw what happened McClellan". Benn was up for the fight, it was Roy who refused to sign the contract. Roy also refused to fight DM. Remember Lamply showing a signed contract that DM signed and shipped to the commentators of HBO challenging Roy to sign it, and Roy refused, then Roy went to the managment of HBO, and they put a gagg order on Lamply and Merchant from never bringing up DM again while roy was co-commentating with them again. Remembe that.

Those are the facts. What about Nunn. Remember Roy losing a court battle for the Super middle weight title and was stripped and ordered to fight Nunn, and instead of fighting nunn, he moved to light heavy and fought Hill.

Also the tell us about the steriods test he tested positive on after fighting Roichard Hall....He admitted the test did show positive steriods but that it was Ripped Fuel...Hmmm interesting, ripped fuel has ephedra with is not a steriod it is banned substance but not steriods...Hmmm interesting..

THIS was enlightening. Great post.

I'd say Roy Jones was the most dominant at LHW:

1. Michael Spinks
2. Ezzard Charles
3. Gene Tunney
4. Archie Moore
5. Charley Burley
6. Harry Greb
7. Tommy Loughran
8. Sam Langford
9. Bob Foster
10. Roy Jones Jr.

I barely squeeze him past Jimmy Bivins

Good list but I disagree that Spinks is no. 1 over Ezzard Charles and Sam Langford. Still, it's interesting.

roy was damn good
he beat erbody in his division(lhw)
1.robinson
2.jones jr
3.whitaker

I just can't rank Roy at the top of an all time p4p list because of the roids. Hell, he was one of a kind, and in his prime according to some, could have beaten Ali....but was he juiced up?! This question screws it all up.

Sorry, I recognize Roy was a magnificent boxer. But, setting aside the ducking issue, the question of roids taints his legacy. I'll not set aside all the greats that came along before roids were invented because Roy looked so damn good in the ring.

Jones was a great fighter, very skilled, he was one of the best of his era.

I don't have an all time list, each era is different.

Where would you rank Roy Jones Jr. on an all time fighters list?
