Is Roy Jones Jr Top 25 ATG?

[sigrab jr]

And, another thing me saying around the 50 mark is not really harsh. There are a lot of great fighters throughout history. Awesome fighters. There are only a few fighters in the last 20 years that can crack the top 50 mark, Calzaghe is not even close on mine, Tito my all time favorite is not near the 50 mark. I mean is hard to get that high. And, Roy is around it. It is more of a compliment then a diss.

I guess it could be taken as a compliment but from the lists I have researched I see Roy Jones the highest is at Top 28 and the lowest was 34 and he wasn't even in the Boxrec ATG list but Boxrec's list has Pac and May in Top 25, SRR at #3 which just shows how horrible it is. So When I saw 50 I was surprised and found it a bit harsh when compared to other lists. I guess it's even worst not even having him in top 50 though.

Roy's best was at 160 and 168 where he was the bigger, stronger and faster fighter. I still think 175 he was kinda of a small light heavyweight.

I agree with that. But, he still had fights before 50 fights at 175. So that is why I threw that in there. Also Carlos Monzon at 160 would of been interesting. Monzon did everything right. So that could of been a hell of a fight.

Absolutely not.

Yeah I saw Monzon on many top 15 lists. I have also seen several of his fights on ESPN classics and I saw the one where he beat Nino Benvenuti. He beat him pretty bad even retired him.

Top ATG lists are so hard to do. Roy in his prime was incredible though, and I wouldn't have a problem if someone put him up there.

[heat27]

no not on my list

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

Tarver?! LOL



If this version of roy could beat tarver and do this to him, imagine what would've prime jones do to that guy...

[ChampBox@PR]

I have him probably at 73

Are you comparing cal and tito to jones? LOL


I'll say this jones is the greatest fighter of the past 20yrs hands down.

Tarver?! LOL

That version of Roy did not beat Tarver. That version of Roy had been KO'd twice. The version that beat Tarver was a better version of Roy. And, also Roy really didn't do **** to Tarver in the third fight. Watch the whole fight. That version of Tarver also looked like crap by the way. That was not the best version of Taver.
