    How does he have the clearly better resume? Roy has Hopkins himself, Toney, almost every LHW worth a damn over an entire decade, and the jump to beat Ruiz at heavyweight. That's better than what Hopkins did. Hopkins's best wins can't even compare.
    Hopkins also has a win over Roy himself and every middleweight worth a damn over an entire decade and the jump to beat Tarver

            Ya'll are really starteing to overrate the hell out of Roy Jones...ya'll act like none of his losses count and that he was actually fighting top fighters and he wasn't..I was a huge Roy fan but The Toney win was great but look at the list of champions he defeated and tell me its an ATG list

            Jorge Vaca, Jorge Fernando Castro, Bernard Hopkins, Thulani Malinga, James Toney, Vinny Pazienza, Eric Lucas, Mike McCallum, Montell Griffin, Virgil Hill, Lou Del Valle, Otis Grant, Reggie Johnson, Julio Cesar Gonzalez, Clinton Woods, John Ruiz, Antonio Tarver, Felix Trinidad, Jeff Lacy

                Floyd has resume and his undefeated record, Roy is arguably one of the very best fighters P4P of all time.

                It's a matter of preference, I personally rate Roy higher, but I can understand people voting Floyd.

                  TBE gonna TBE.

                  I son't necessarily agree with most of the list, but at least they got #1 right.

                    I keep telling 'em, no matter how much they hate they always have him #1. They know the real deal.
