      He certainly deserves being mentioned. We will never see another Roy Jones In our lifetime.

        Yes, yes he is... Prime Roy is pure dynamite. We'll have to wait awhile for evolution to do its dirty work, before we see another fighter with that level of athleticism.

          No, but he had the fastest hands I had ver seen. Loved watching him work during his prime, but he was still flawed as a boxer. Lanes back too much, fought with his hands low, wasn't great at fighting off the ropes. But as a total package he was amazing to watch. Too bad he suffered from brittle hands.

            He is definitely up there ! In his prime he was a marvel to watch. Dude did quite a few things that a traditional fighter would've been tormented, had they tried. He was always fast and athletic, which could cover up mistakes before you really even noticed he had done something wrong. He was unreal, in his prime, but is tarnishing that time bc he continues to fight

              not with that glass jaw.


              did he ever fight a 90% ko ratio beast with an iron jaw like GGG? he would get KTFO

                He was freak a athlete, the LeBron James of boxing. He looked like an unbeatable ATG in his prime then an ordinary guy once his athleticism declined. I see there's a thread comparing him to Mayweather, which I think is laughable, but that's just imo

                    It is laughable... Mayweather's name doesn't deserve to be in the same sentence as Roy Jones'.
