I've spent a lot of time putting that list together and would like input to who should be added and taken off of the list. The more input I get, the more legitimate I can make it. It's no different than "Pat's udefeated heavyweight list". I just post it as a reference for anyone who is interested.Last edited by taftcorb; 12-29-2005, 03:04 AM.Comment

Yeah that's why Frank Liles almost KTFO Jones in 1988 and McClellan beat him that year too. I have footage of Jones vs Liles fights and Jones doesn't look that good, I'll upload them if anybody wants to see. Jones only looked good against crap opposition at the Olympics. Richie Woodhall gave him a close fight in the semi-final, RICHIE WOODHALL mind!! Woodhall had lost to mediocre Neville Brown earlier that year, and I beat up Neville Brown in the gym. Park Hi-Sun was absolute garbage who got five gifts to get to the final.Originally posted by ICEMAN JOHN SCULLY
Jones' first-ever fight at 156 was against John Reid in Ireland in 1986, he lost. Steve Collins beat a guy called Parker White at that same meet, and Frank Liles beat Gordon Joyce. Anyway Reid had lost to STEVE ****ING COLLINS at 165 in the Irish final earlier in 86. Jones also lost fair and square to a guy called Andy Liebing at the 1987 Junior World's at 156 in Cuba, Irishman Ray Close (who beat Dariusz Michalczewski in the final of the 1986 Junior European's, Michalczewski was the top light-heavy in the world from 96 to 03 by the way) fought in the ring after Jones and was robbed at 165 against the Cuban who went on to win Gold. Oh, and here's Andy Liebing: http://www.boxrec.com/boxer_display.php?boxer_id=014571Last edited by JUYJUY; 12-29-2005, 08:11 PM.Comment

Nigel Benn never fought at 156. He was a welterweight in the Army where he went undefeated - winning three tournaments in Germany, two in Holland and one in Italy to become #1 in Europe. Benn was a skilled boxer back then, not a wild brawler. He was extremely fast before he started using weights apparently. Benn had been a street thug before his parents put him in the Army to keep him out of trouble. After leaving the Army, Benn then fought at 165 in 1985 - losing to Rod Douglas. Benn had never previously lost a round, and he couldn't believe he lost. So Benn went back to the streets, came back the following year and beat the living **** out of Douglas. Benn was a street fighter in the ring until the losses to Watson and Eubank caused him to go back to being the skilled boxer he once was. But for the McClellan fight, Benn went back to the streets again!Originally posted by NABExcept if Nigel Benn, Chris Eubank or Herol Graham were fighting him, of course...
Herol Graham never fought at 156 either, he went 147 to 165. Chris Eubank did fight at 156, and apparently he was The Goods when he won the Spanish Golden Gloves in New York.Comment

Igor Ruzhnikov said that almost all top European fighters were better than Roy Jones, he beat Jones in 1986 in Russia.Comment

Is it true that Reggie Johnson used to get the better of Roy Jones in the gym?Comment

So let's get this straight.
Collins beat John Reid in 1986. Jones lost to John Reid in 1986. Collins lost to Noel Magee in the Irish light-heavyweight final in 1985. Collins lost to Sam Storey in a Dublin-vs-Belfast middleweight meet in 1985. Magee lost to Dariusz Michalczewski in the pro's. Storey lost to Chris Eubank in the pro's. That means Eubank and Michalczewski would of beaten Roy Jones in the pro's
