    Roy's got like 20 plus title fight wins in 4 weight divisions including heavyweight and two wins over other ATG's. Are you a hater or just ******?
    I think he's trolling. I don't know if you saw these posts from earlier:

      Better win streak? You mean from fighting blown up LW Pazienza, old McCallum, and NY cop Richard Frazier?
      You could play that same game with Leonard. He fought Hearns, Duran, Hagler, and a very young Benitez. Hearns really beat him the second time, Duran beat him the first time, and he arguably lost to Hagler as well. Roy clearly beat Toney and Hopkins. He fought some solid fighters during his years of dominance as well.

              Ruiz beat Holyfield, Kirk Johnson and Hasim Rahman when it still mattered and was 38-4 when Roy beat him.......

              Weak argument based on that.

                There's a reason Roy picked Ruiz. He was a relatively small HW with little power.

                  H2H it's always hard to go against Roy. But Leonard did more. Has the better wins. Toney and B-Hop were very good wins but they don't compare to Ray's.

                    How can people say Leonard was a better fighter than Roy Jones prime for prime? Leonard was defeated in his prime while Roy never was defeated in his prime. Not only that, Leonard was defeated by an older, smaller lightweight in Roberto Duran who already had a loss on his record all while he was a bigger, younger, undefeated welterweight.

                    Roy has a win over a young Bernard Hopkins and James Toney, two guys who would rival even the best names on Ray Leonard's resume. Roy had a better win streak, moved up more weight classes, and was probably the more explosive fighter of the two.

                    And if they were to fight head to head prime for prime Roy would have washed Leonard. I don't see how anyone can say Leonard was better. He might have more hall of famers on his resume but that is all I'll give him over Roy.
                    Is this a legit post? Have you even seen a SRL match?

                      It takes a sad pathetic b*stard to pretend the ruiz win actually means anything.....
