Who would be P4P number 1 right now if Roy Jones was in his prime?

[Sugar Adam Ali]

Roy especially if he was at 160-168... I think currently at 175, kovolev would be a very tough out for roy

LOL @ the people saying Roy would beat most of the current HWs. I've said it before, and I'll say it again: The nuthugging Roy gets is ridiculous.

Roy would get KTFO by just about ANY of the HWs.

Yeah right now he could probably only beat the likes of adamek, maybe wilder, but I think gets beat by a lot of the top 10 guys.. He would win some but lose to

If Sugar Ray Robinson was alive and still prime where would he rank p4p???

Unfortunately as much as I love RJJ, he wouldn't fight Kovalev, or Stevenson, or Golovkin!!

People love to call Floyd a ducker and forget he learned everything he knew from Roy!

you must have not watched a prime Roy Jones then...there were middleweights that had problems catching him and you're telling me Haye would?

This reply is absolutely ridiculous. By this logic Pernell Whitaker, Nicolino Locche and Floyd Mayweather should be/ should have competitive with heavyweights and wouldn't get knocked out because they don't/didn't get caught much at the lower weights so the higher weights would be no problem. By this logic Floyd Mayweather would survive 12 rounds with Haye. After all, he's got better defence that Roy did.

Keep convincing yourself that Roy Jones was the best thing since sliced bread and that he could beat every heavy apart from the Klitschko's. He only beat John 'The slow man' Ruiz. Roy was a great fighter but people tend to overrate him a bit. Judging by what people say on this site Roy Jones beats everybody in history (every weight class) 120-108 or wider or knocks them out. Lennox Lewis was slower than Haye. Surely Roy could just evade all his shots and get a decision then?

Roy beat better fighters than all those guys when they were ranked contenders. Please sit down.

boy you got whiney real quick didnt you?

Roy Jones jr would make Andre Fraud look like a bum.

You thing I'm a Haye fan? haha why because I'm English? I don't mind the guy but I'm not exactly a fan. I'm actually a much bigger fan of Roy Jones. However, I don't feel the need to overrate him like everyone else on this forum. As I've explained in my edit, your original point was ridiculous. It is akin to saying that the best defensive fighters of their time - people like Whitaker, Locche, Pep and Mayweather - would not be knocked out by the heavyweights of their time. After all, if the people in their weightclasses could not catch them how could heavyweights?

Below Jones at #2
