Nothing Rjj Did Was Ever Appreciated??

And?
He beat Hopkins too 'Back Then'.
What is your point?

His point is that jones beat toney in his prime

His point is that jones beat toney in his prime

And?
What I was saying is that Toney's best days are behind him.
That includes his loss to RJJ.

[puppy_dogg]

toney was on top of his game when he fought roy at supermiddle.

what he is saying, you seem so intent on smacking jones down but forget he beat some future hall of famers in his career and should be commended

So DM and Rocchingiani were in higher weight classes? That's news to me.

You named Sanders, Douglas and Jirov.

DM was just as reluctant to fight ROy (cuz it meant going to the USA) as Roy was to fight DM (cuz it meant going to Germany). Rochiniaggi.....you did not mention him originally but since you did now, I will retort. He couldn't beat DM or Henry Maske. WHy are you even bringing him up?

[Ranger2408]

i think roy jones could have had an amazing career, we would not be discussing his achievements now in the same light if he had won the gold medal in seoul.
I think he would have been less reluctent to fight , benn, DM etc etc and would have beaten them all.

[LuKahnLi]

Light heavyweight, he deserves alot of credit cuz he was really fighting above his prime weight.

168, he could have done SOOOOOO much more. Eubank, Benn, McClellan, Collins.....if Roy beat these guys how much greater would he be considered?

[LuKahnLi]

That said, he is still the best 168 lber ever.

I know who he beat but I refuse to give him credit for it.
Because of all the **** I've already mentioned.
I just hate RJJ and that will never change.

Got that right, we would be talking about hagler and co and jones in the same breath
