    His resume is dog shit though.
    while i dont feel like its dog ****, I do feel thats what holds him back some.

    If He would have stayed at Heavy and took on some Names like Holyfield and Tyson and Won, he may have truly had an arguement for a top 10 guy who was basically undefeated.
    but some bad career decisions and missed oppurtunities ultimate hurt him.

    Still on pure brilliance in the ring, there isnt too many that were better than a prime RJJ

      Low 30's based on his prime, what he does after it is different.

        P4P and or talent wise I rank him top 5.
        Career or resume wise i'd say top 50 atm.

            I dont really have a list myself, but I will say this, I had Hopkins infront of him before the Pavlik win if I recall.

            For me, Hopkins took on tough challenges, more consistently.

              Honestly? Not as high as others do. Roy didnt beat alot of great fighters (some yes) and he has some pretty bad loses on record. He could have fought some more quality guys in his prime, and he didnt. Talent wise he is top 10 ever (and he is in the low end of the top 10) but I judge a fighter based on who he fought and who he beat. Not just his crazy talent and who he "could" have beat or "would" have beat. I judge him based on who he actually fought and actually beat.

                Pacquiao is the only active fighter I might rank over Jones, all-time.

                  i rank him in the 30's right now. if he keeps on fighting and losing his ranking would drop. we cannot rank him in his prime because if we all do he's got to be in the top 10 and atleast top 3 pound for pound. unbeatable in his prime.

                      Holy-****!, now that surprise's me, particularly if Pac is on PED's, as you allege.
