    There will be plenty more boxers who will pad their records fighting policemen and cab drivers.

            Yeah,fighting after losing 40 pounds in two weeks will do that. His resume still better though.

              Will always be the guy schooled by joe calZ

              Roy ducked the best for years and when he had no choice but to fight joe, he was schooled and made a fool of, someone who built his career on fighting cab drivers

              Joe calZ is goat in his division and one of the best ever, undefeated for a reason and schooled Jones and Hopkins for a reason

I wonder if any of today's fighter who starts at Junior Middleweight could win a title at Heavyweight.
                These clowns barely move up 1 weight division and you expect someone to move up all the way to HW? cmonBruh

                  Roy was a freak, and freaks don't come around all that often. The next freakish guy will be vastly different, which is why no one should try and fight like Roy Jones.

                    It depends how you look at it.

                    Two of my favourite fighters.

                    James has a great resume.

                      You're either trolling, or you're clueless.

                      Kindly tell us which one.

                      Cheers.
