Is Roy Jones in his prime the best fighter of all time?

[Schmerzen]

i cant imagine calzaghe beating prime roy jones, at best he wins 4 rounds.

[robertzimmerman]

yeah, he may have been a former JMW but i dont think it was a 'natural' progression to heavyweight put it that way....

Mackie Shilstone is one of the most respected sport science strategists in the world, who also helped Spinks move up to fight Holmes, and Hopkins to move up against Tarver.

Roy also passed 3 random tests in fights after Hall in 2000.

[Vadrigar.]

in his division?... Joe 'the pride of wales' Calzaghe.

[Gillie]

I am not sure whether he was the best fighter of all time, but from a technical perspective he was certainly the most gifted! He was like the Bo-Jackson of boxing in the physical sense, Roy Jones Junior had the ability to do things physically which defied the Laws of Newtonian Physics.

Bo Jackson....Perfect comparison!

he's gotta be up there

was so athletically gifted but once he aged and his legs went, he became a sitting duck

and he was so physically gifted he did not have to master the fundamentals so he got knocked out several times

To be on a boxing website as long as some of them have, you would think they would have an idea about boxing. Roger really wasnt lying when he said most people DKSAB

Yeah.

Most of the guys here can only debate with BoxRec stats.

It's funny seeing all this love for Roy now because most boxing fans hated him and constantly tried to discredit his resume the same way they do Floyd. "Hopkins was too green". "McCallum was too old". "Toney was weight drained." "Ruiz was overrated".

[_original_]

Roy Jones always reminded me of Deion Sanders, dudes were athletic freaks who could break all of the conventional rules and be ok cause of their athleticism.

[SkillspayBills]

Absolutely. There isn't a fighter that has ever laced up a pair of gloves that is better than Roy Jones Jr in his prime.

arent u the guy who said youd leave the site if jacobs didnt beat golovkin? And youre really moaning about people saying they DKSAB? Just cause the fight was close-ish doesnt mean your sorry old arse shouldnt have disappeared for good.
