      a fighter shouldn't be ranked just for what he did in his prime and unfortunately his recent fights were terrible

      i wouldn't know where to rank him but it wont be in the top 40

        Lol, I know a lot of Brits hate RJ and won't give their top 25 ATG list anyways. I would say the least he should be is Top 30.

            Once he slowed down maybe, After 50 or so fights you can expect to slow down It's happened to the best... but in his prime he doesn't get hit much at all, so that's not a factor...

              Roy may not be top 25 on many list but tell me who in the top 25 at 168 pounds would beat him at his peak? So greats like Hagler, Leonard, Robinson would have to fight him at a catchweight of maybe 165 pounds.

              I think Roy beats them pretty easily

                  actually that's what happens.

                  you think people take into account the joppy and camacho fights for duran?

                  you think people hold berbick and holmes against ali?

                  you think people hold marciano against louis?

                    that said , wherever he belongs......wherever hopkins and calzaghe is , he's above them.
                    You can't be serious? Calzaghe destroyed a prime Roy Jones

                      Michael Spinks, he would of been a guy who I think would of beaten RJ at 175. Bob Foster power could of been an issue for Roy at 175, Him and Michael Moorer another guy that might had some success at 175 agaisnt Roy don't know If I would favor him though to beat him.

                      Not enough footage for Charles Burly to know for sure about him, but even guys in Roy's own era would of been interesting. At 154-160 against Julian Jackson just courious about the power of Jackson if he landed on Roy what would of happen. But, I think Roy would of stopped. But, then Mike McCallum at 154 I think might have gave Roy problem, even at 160 would of been interesting. Michael Nunn another interesting fight, Nigel Benn, Chris Eubanks, Reggie Johnson at 160, G-Man of course. I would favor Roy against all these guys of is era. But, I think they all would of been interesting fights. That I would not have been surprise if Roy lost to any of them.

                      And, I also think Antonio Tarver with his size, skills, and style would of always gave any version of Roy hell. I don't know if he would of beaten Roy but would of gave him hell.

                      JT also became a champ from MW to HW. Well he got a NC so I guess technically he didn't
