Completely irrelevant, just sounds like excuse making to me. Also there is nothing to suggest Jones was glass chinned.Comment

Any time you have someone as phenomenally gifted as Roy was, and were never tested, you'll have those that claim they're overrated. Those that rank highest on the ATG list were not only physically gifted, but had the good fortune to prove themselves against other great fighters.
Would Jones have stood up to the best historical light-heavyweights? On natural ability alone, he would have to be seriously considered. He might've wound up like Tommy Hearns: incredible ability, but just edged out against other ATGs.
Unfortunately, Roy's one of those guys we'll never have a consensus on. I don't really think it was his fault. (I know there are those that would argue against that as well.) One thing is certain: Roy Jones Jr. stuck around a little too long. It's a shame that he still hasn't gotten the memo....Comment

teh times he was ktfo
once he his reflexes slowed down and he was easier to hit he was pretty chiny
he is an atg and a great fighter but people overate him
he never faught and beat a prime skilled agressive swarmer/puncher to really show what he was made ofComment

I'm starting to think you don't have much sense, boxing wise. I'l leave your thread at that. Oh and to even confuse Benny Leonard and Sugar Ray is a literal boxing sin. Don't even think it. Leave your agenda at the door.
P.S. Jones wasn't overrated at all. Had he retired at the right time he would be considered top 10 atg easily.Comment

I understood the poster meant Benny, but, in the context of the thread, he asked a legitimate question. Many people have been throwing in names that are very personal choices.I'm starting to think you don't have much sense, boxing wise. I'l leave your thread at that.

The top ten is an elite group, tough to crack. Very few fighters get in there "easily." As great as Roy once was, I don't think he gets in there --even if he never lost a fight. (Marciano never lost.) Jones's biggest problem is his resume, which many consider the single most important component to greatness.Comment

and a great fighteer shoudl atleast be somewhat close to as good as he was once he slows down if he has good technicals skills( which roy lacked). but right as roy got into his 30s and fought good fighters(tarver) he was exposed
i say he is top 100 (towards the bottoM) but had he devleoped techinque he could have had a sucsefull late career and become top 5 or ten
dont go ratin roy jones no one an then say I dont have boxing sense
and i didnt confuse benny with ray
i wonted to know which leonard he was talking bout
its a reasonable question
and if u come at me with more bull **** im just gonna reply with bottles cause ur souniding kind of fussy like u need ur milkComment
