Who had the better overall career? Mike Tyson or Roy Jones Jr. And tell us why

[LacedUp]

He did beat BHOP for the belt with a broken hand and won like every round against James Toney who was at the time the baddest man on the planet, he took his belt. I actually think Roy would've been best as a super middleweight.

Bhop was at middleweight.

His other only wins at SMW were against Vinnie Paz and Eric Lucas. Hardly comparable to guys who spent their whole careers at SMW with good/great wins.

He lost to a journeyman in his prime and was fed bums and an old Holmes during his reign before that. He is overrated.

Klitschko also lost to multiple journeymen in his prime.

Lmao at all you historians ...

Name 15 lught heavyweights and 6 better super middleweights then roy..

Dont google it. Dont look up a list. Go off the top of your head...

Dare you...

Ward, Froch, Calzaghe, Benn, Eubank, Collins all had better super middleweight careers than Roy Jones. Toney's career there rivals it too.

Would Roy had beaten them as a super middleweight? Yes. But he still only had a handful of fights only against one top opponent.

I'm not going to argue that Roy wasn't a top light heavyweight because he clearly was.

Roy Jones. Better resume and better off financially.
