Will we ever see a fighter as dominant as RJJ again?

[swagman]

Unpopular opinion: Head to head and prime for prime, I think Roy beats anybody in history from 160-175.

Yes, he was truly amazing. I dont even think the amazing Ray Robinson could have stood in there with him. Too much speed, strength, and athleticism. He was embarrassing people, not just beating them, knocking them out after dancing and landing punches while not looking. I doubt we'll see it anytime soon

[Blueduck]

When you think of all the great Light Heavyweights for all that time who could not quite get that Heavyweight title, Jones coming in doing it from 160 is amazing. Not that I'm saying Ruiz was Joe Lewis or Larry Holmes, but still a huge notch on Roys belt.

I don't know much about Roy Jones' career, can you give me a run down of notable wins?

Being serious, not trolling. Never paid much attention to him while I was growing up.

Nope.

He was dominant at world level to a point that just isn't supposed to exist. He could do whatever he wanted, whenever he wanted.

Richard Hall got the worst of it, but Montell Griffin is the only guy that got to feel what it's like to fight a p*ssed off RJJ...Montell was a great fighter, but he got blasted into another dimension in less than one round.

[Mr.Fantastic]

He was dominant because he didn't test himself as often. If he did, he wouldn't of looked that flashy. Not debating he wasn't great, just fyi.

You must have been in prison for the last decade or so. Let me bring you up to speed.

Manny Pacquiao

Getting outboxed 4 times over 8 years by Marquez doesn't equal dominance

[IronDanHamza]

Getting outboxed 4 times over 10 years by Marquez doesn't equal dominance

Or getting outboxed by Morales.

Ive always said that it would take manny pacquiao and floyd mixed together, taking only their best attributes, and then you might get something resembling the greatness of RJJ in his prime

Roy was phenomenal, but he wasn't dominant over his best possible competition. People talk about him as the best SMW ever when he missed all the best possible SMW's. He had the opportunity to fight so many different fighters with HOF level talent in their prime and did not. The few he did were green (Hopkins), weight drained (Toney), or old (Johnson, Hill). I was a RJ cheerleader through my childhood, but waiting for him to step up was a discouraging lesson.

Toney was considered far and away the best super middle.
