Is Roy Jones Jr Top 25 ATG?

[jrosales13]

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.

Yea he was an awesome fighter.

[MONEYMAY-]

Not a chance in hell!!

I have him probably at 73

Do you have tito trinidad ahead of julio cesar chavez?

[jrosales13]

Are you comparing cal and tito to jones? LOL


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

Yes, that is exactly what I am doing. I am comparing Roy to other elite fighters of his era

When Floyd retires I might rank Floyd ahead of Roy. I rank Whitaker ahead of Roy also. I rank JCC ahead of Roy also. Those are fighters in the last 20 years. Whitaker is the greatest fighters in the last 20 years hands down period.

Watch Whitaker greatness.

Top 250 maybe. Like 235-236 ish.

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.

I would give Ezzard Charles a good chance against him at 175 as well.

At 160 I'd give Carlos Monzon and Hagler a shot at him, that's all though.

[-EX-]

I don't know where I'd rank him but Top 25 doesn't sound insane...I think he's deff in a top 50 ATG list...

[Motofan]

No fuucking way is he top 25. He beat two good fighters in his life. You dont become top 25 on talent alone.

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.

How is that? jones never been the same since he came down from HW. Jones version of Tarver I is no better than the tarverIII version, the only diff is that in the 1st fight jones was determined to win and not afraid to let his hands go. In the 3rd fight he was better physically,but messed up mentally after the back to back KOs.

I'm not saying that jones won the 3rd fight, all i'm saying is that version of roy would've beaten tarver if he had let his hands go. He proved it in the 5th round.

[SERVILEV]

Just a simple question. My favorite fighter, I think he should be Top 25 ATG and I have seen him in a lot of top 25 ATG lists. Do you think he's top 25?

of coarse he is!! he just over stayed his welcome!!
he ll def always be known for the great that stayed too long!!
hands down is already is hall of famer, way more so that hopkins or calzag!
Calzag should never make it. he didnt fight ne body. overated Lacy, An ok Kessler, and a pass due RoyJ and Hopkins !!

No

How many HOFers does he have on his resume? What's his record and how did he do against them? and how many ATGs does he have on his resume? What's his record and how did he do against them?
