      jones at the moment, but if hopkins wins dec 3 ( which he will ) and then retires he'll have the better legacy because he went out on top unlike jones!
      but all of them will have GREAT legacys cause all of them are great fighters and great champions.

          Fix, come on now. Hopkins and Toney aged for the better not the worse. They're better fighters than when Roy beat them way back when.
          if and buts dont count, toney has done nothing at heavy and there is nothing to say that he will.


          EDIT-if toney were to do that, sure i might put him ahead of jones. but it has yet to happen so im not considering that right now to determine whos legacy is better.

            hmm

            So I guess Rocky Marciano has a better resume and legacy than Ali since he left on a good note and Ali got his ******* reamed for his last 3 fights?

              Roy Jones - he was the best of the 3 and beat the other guys

              and for the record - James Toney actually said roy jones beat him no excuses....see his interview in behind the glory....

                  A weak division says he has a good chance of at LEAST getting another belt.

                  And I think against Brewster he has a good chance (see Brewster fight against Wlad).

                    Bingo...and do you know why he said that? Because he came in to MANY of his fights overweight and not "prepared". And he still won, and looked good doing it. Vs Roy it was a style problem, and he got owned for it. The fight wasn't even close.


                    no, cause ali faught better oppenents!

                      People cant read, its about accomplishments... not how they left. And Jones hasnt officially left yet. I read not too long ago about him returning middle 2006.
