    Is Roy Jones Jr the Greatest Light Heavyweight ever?

    After re watching a bunch of Jones fights at Light Heavyweight and seeing how awsome he was again, I was thinking is Roy the best Light Heavyweight of all time? I know his two losses to Tarver and Johnson but you could argue that was an older Jones. But I guess you have to take that into conisderation for being the top LH ever.

        Id like to see Jones vs Spinks, I dont know if Spinks could have handled Roy's explosiveness and speed.

              No and he's not even close.

              Archie Moore
              Ezzard Charles
              Bob Foster
              Gene Tunney
              Michael Spinks

              All greater light heavyweights than Jones.

                  He was not even the best lightheavyweight of his era. Michalczewski was Ring Magazine and Linear Champ from 1997-2003. Give me a break. You can say Jones would beat Michalczewski in a fantasy fight all you want but the fact remains he never did.

                  Roy Jones Greatest Lt Heavyweight ever. lol

                  That would be number 1 on my ******est comments ever thread. If I had one.

                    I see logic isn't your strong point. They never fought, so it's clear that Michalczewski is better. Brilliant.

                    I agree that it would be close between Spinks, Archie, and RJJ.
