No im serious, and havent got my check yet so the bud hasnt been bought.... But hell ya i think RJJ would beat SRR in there prime no doubt about it i mean SRR was great for his era but what i dont think people bring to light is that this era (are era) is levels above that of theres in just about every aspect(I BELIVE), I mean SRR lost 19 bouts and im sure had RJJ been a fighter back then SRR would have lost say.... 20 to 21 bouts RJJ was that good, his comp might not have been but he made grown men look like kidsLast edited by GreatestIam; 05-04-2006, 01:00 PM. -
Well its all a matter off Opinion i guess,Originally posted by YamanHey come on now, SRR in his prime did loose fights. Did you see a prime Roy loose fights? Roy could beat Ray.
i Just believe RJJ could have made a better reputation in the history off boxing fighting more A-level fighters, true he never dodged any1 but their was greater boxers out their who he should ave faced big example Nigel Benn.Comment

When you consider all the great fighters in the past, it is pretty impossible to put Jones in the top 20. I think top 50 is OK, I don't have a problem with that, I have him in my top 100.Originally posted by Floydko1Someone with a little Knowledge i see
myself top 50
theirs ppl on ere thinking he was "greatest off all time"
some1 even says he would beat SUGER RAY ROBINSON
I agree with you, noway Jones is greatest of all time, I think the people that put Jones in the top 10 haven't really seen all the great fighters from the past. No offense to the Jones fans top 10 is pretty ******ed.Comment

1 lose in his first 130+ fights. The man won 96 staright fights, I don't care if he beat bunch of white men, it still the greatest accomplishment in boxing history.Originally posted by YamanHey come on now, SRR in his prime did loose fights.

Saying SRR would destroy RJJ head to head doesn't make a lot of sense to me. SRR was at his best at welter and RJJ was at his best at SMW or LHW. Size strength and speed would all go to Roy in this matchup. But if we are talkin p4p then yes Sugar is better.Comment

If i were asked to pick any fighter at any time and have them challenge SRR, i would pick the Roy Jones that fought MOntell Griffen te second time.Originally posted by Floydko1Someone with a little Knowledge i see

He doesn't make my top 100.
We should of been treated to Jones/Benn, Jones/Eubank, Jones/Nunn, Jones/Toney II, etc, but he was content to defend against Antoine Byrd and Richard Frazier instead.Comment
