    RJJ must rank lower than Iron Mike, if just for the numberless times he was knocked out cold.

      Tyson. He was the undisputed heavyweight champion, the greatest title in all of boxing and arguably all of sports.

        Roy was elite from 1992-2003.

        Tyson was elite from 1986-1989.

        It's not even close. RJJ was P4P king of the 1990s and prime RJJ has an argument for greatest of all time.

              That’s not a fair comparison because Roy Jones didn’t fight at heavyweight.

              He wouldn’t have been dominant for that long as a heavyweight.

              Tyson was also a good heavyweight when he came, he was just overrated. He won a title, only lost to Holyfield and Lewis until things got really bad and has an incredibly impressive win over Andrew Golata.

                Roy Jones Jr was WBA heavyweight champion of the world. He beat John Ruiz for the title after Ruiz's trilogy with Holyfield.
