I don't think Roy Jones is given enough credit!

Yall Musta forgot? When he beat Benard Hopkins and won the IBF, the right was hurt, beat'em with the left.

That was a Green Baby Hopkins.

Actually he gets a huge amount of credit for that win considering what Hopkins accomplished after. Its such a shame we never saw the rematch take place in 2002.

Plus Jones wasn't prime in that fight either which is scary considering the Jones that night was a monster.

You remember the left hook that James Toney got?

He gets more credit than he should just like other boxers.

I give him just enough credit.

Are you kidding me.. they printed his #1 P4P for years while He was fighting security guards and other goverment workers. If you are talking about today, He's getting more credit than He deserves after being KOed in seconds by dirty Green.

Come on, Roy Jones is SHOT to ****s, he has been everysince 2002 in my opinion.

Prime Jones is as good as any fighter I have seen, that for me is as much credit as you can hand someone.

He's been done since the Ruiz fight as the drop down in weight killed him, but from the day he turned pro until 2003...monster.

Why not just call this thread "I'm New To Boxing" instead? Saves time.
