    Ree****ulas( sorry) cant remember how you spell it? But, thank you for listing that. Its funny how everyone loves to discredit RJJ when he has a superior resume to guys they are saying are greater or didn't fight as many "bums"

        Fought bums my ass. Roy cleaned out the top ten in numerous weight classes. It's not his fault no one else came close to his skills.

          Prime Roy was unbeatable. A tired to death Roy beat a fresh prime Antonio Tarver before he went completely past prime.

          If you don't think Roy was good[which is usually Europeans], then that's fine, but why call him a bum now that he can't prove how nice he is? Roy Jones was the Michael Jordan of boxing in the 90s. No one came close to beating him, ever. He barely lost rounds.

            The current WW Ring top 10:
            1. Mayweather
            2. Pac
            3. Berto
            4. Cotto
            5. Mosley
            6. Clottey
            7. Zaveck
            8. Senchenko
            9. Jackiewicz
            10. Bradley

            10 years from now, some bitch is gonna post the WW top 10 from 2010 and claim that Zaveck, Senchenko, and Jackiewicz were good fighters because they were ranked in the Ring top 10.

            Who are you guys trying to fool?

              The difference is, Harding, Hill, Griffin, Gonzalez, Del Valle, and Reggie Johnson... WERE good fighters.

                Marginal fighters, I can agree with that.

                  I think the problem with Roys resume is that most newbie boxing fans don't see that stellar name outside of Toney and they discredit him, not knowing the guys he beat that the noobs dont recognize were good fighters like Johnson, Hill, Harding, etc.

                    Without the likes of Roy, Bernard, and (to a lesser degree, later) Calzaghe around those guys WOULD have been the World Champions of their time.
