I rank him as the number one best p4p fighter to ever step in the ring and I'll leave it at that. Im sick of stating all these reasons when it'll just get bashed upon. Thats how I see it. In his prime, i dont think anyone could of ever beat him.
Where Do You Rank Roy Jones All Time?

Roy Jones Jr. was something special, much the way Michael Jordon was special to basketball or Tiger Woods is to golf. I have never seen speed and quickness to equal Roy Jones at his peak. I do not think there have been any, bar none in the history of boxing with such reflexive gifts. The best boxers of all time owe as much to the competition they fought as they do to their personal skills, and Roy never fought the list of greats Sugar Ray Robinson or Mohammad Ali fought, so Roy will never contend in boxing circles for the mythical pound for pound all time best, but he was a true prodigy.
We as boxing fans were blessed to witness such a career, we may never see another with such talent. When father time caught up with Roy, it just happened to be while Tarver was delivering a solid left hook. Five years earlier, that shot would have missed by a foot and Tarver would have eaten three counter shots for his trouble.
At the absolute pinnacle of Bernard Hopkins's career, when Bernard was at his peak, Roy toyed with the one of the most accomplished middleweight champions of the past 30 years and won an easy safe decision. I stood there(On Tv) and watched Roy actually consider which counter punch to respond with as he slipped punches thrown at him by a young peaking James Toney. Roy Jones Jr. in his prime was the quickest and fastest boxer I have ever seen!
He's top 10 all time IMO. Don't care if you don't agree! Roy was the bomb!Comment
thanks
