If Rjjr retired after Tarver I

It doesnt really matter who you personally consider a challenge. Give me 10 names on Jones resume and I could replace them with 10 significantly better ones.

******ed. There's only 2/3 fighters Roy was accused of avoiding. Who are these 10? Name the fighters.

That's true (for every fighter) - and that would make his standing even greater. Nevertheless, it doesn't change the fact that he's still an ATG and ranked within the greatest quarter or so fighters of the modern era.

He would've retired on a questionable decision

You are right but it was obvious that he needed to. He just wasn't the same and it was painfully obvious in the first Tarver fight. He should've took the Lennox Lewis way out in retrospect. I just watched it and was thinking , OGM, what in the world happened o the Roy Jones I know? He still had speed but his timing, reflexes and lateral movement were gone. I had him winning the fight and he did block a lot of what Tarver threw, but it stood for something when Tarver hit him more than any opponent ever had prior.

[Mr. Invincible]

How on earth would he considered a top 10 fighter if he retired on a questionable decision agaisnt the first semi-elite fighter he'd fought in years?

Ask Lennox Lewis.

[Mr. Invincible]

A proven PED user shouldnt be considered as an ATG imo.

Who, Roy? Do you even know what Ripped Fuel is? It was more of a fat burner than a PED dips-hit.

Can we stop with the excuses ..RJJ was old , weight drained , Tarver got lucky etc .......
ROY JONES WAS IN SHAPE , HE JUST GOT CAUGHT BY A PUNCH HE NEVER SAW COMING AND GOT KNOCKED OUT. END OF THE STORY ..........

[Mr. Invincible]

No its not important. Whats important is his skills and resume. Talent wise, he may well be top 10. Best ive seen in my lifetime. Resume? Nowhere near.

Exactly(bolded) Skillwise, Roy was unnatural.

And as for Roy's resume, it's outstanding. I'm not too sure what you're talking about. Roy's resume s-hits all over Joe Calzaghe's yet you still suck his d-ick. Just shut up already. Your blatant Roy hate is old enough.

Hey genius, Roy didn't used to get hit with those punches in case you didn't know. Go do some research. Roy was past it and it was obvious in the first Tarver fight. He just wasn't the same dynamic fighter he was prior to heavyweight. In reality he should have either retired or stayed at heavyweight and competed. I will debate anyone over this. This is exactly the way it is.

Well as quoted before, theres a video on youtube where hbo are talking to roy before a fight i think, and hbo mention that big names dont want to fight him and ask for to much money but still call him out.

Anyway i thunk he should have retired after ruiz or stayed at heavyweight for a few more fights! Roy jones is my favorite fighter of all time so maybe i'm baised but he's always will be top to me! I just wish he have fought in the uk so i could see him!
