    I wouldn't argue if someone had him in their top 20.

      What pisses you off about this threads? This is discussing rather a legend, in which everybody agrees is a legend, is a ATG as well.
      I don't know what Ward has to do with this topic.

      But I think Ward will go down as an ATG.

        Yes

        Roy may possibly be THE all time great,and the reason is because when he
        was serious about a fight,he was unbeatable.Also,he may be the fastest
        fighter in boxing history and the number one attribute in boxing is speed!
        Roy at super-middleweight would have been the only boxer in history not to
        be an underdog against any fighter,at any weight.For example,if Roy was in
        his prime at super-middleweight,and he was matched against Tyson in his
        prime at heavyweight,the odds would either be even or favor Roy...he was
        that good.Roy's resume speaks for itself.He made Toney,Hopkins,and Ruiz
        look like chumps.

            Remember when Roy was going to fight 6'5" 250lb undisputed heavy-weight
            champ Lennox Lewis,his trainer Emanuel Stewart said he would take a fight
            with Roy very very seriously.

              Sure he was.. AND he was gonna fight Tyson and Holyfield as well but settled on Ruiz lol...I love Roy but he couldn't beat Ny of those Heavyweights. They would have knocked him into next week....

                    When he beat Ruiz people were comparing him to SRR. It was almost the only person to beat RJJ was Lennox Lewis and maybe a few other heavyweights if even that. For that I would say he deserves to be top 20, he took risks even if at the end of his career.

                    To penalize him for losing to Tarver is unfair considering at his best he would have beat the bejesus out of Tarver, and also if he retired after beat Ruiz he wouldn't be downgraded like he is. That he chose to not retire is credit to RJJ.
