I realise Mayweather hasn't fought many good guys, but Jones just ****ing tormented me because there were so many quality fights to be made that people like me could ********** over.. I really wanted to see him fight Lamar Parks or Reggie Johnson, Parks was an excellent little fighter (better than Hopkins IMO) and punch for punch had Very heavy hands, and Johnson was slick as a greaseball back then. Jones turned down a fight with Julian Jackson early in '93, too. Then there was Calzaghe, Nunn, Jirov.
RJJ or PBF?

Actual quote in regards to R.J.:
"Of course I'm better than Roy Jones Jr. Why would you even ask that?"

Yeah, and he didn't fight Benn, Eubank or Collins, or Nunn or Liles.Originally posted by Mattyp151Roy Jones at 168 is one of the best boxers of all time....however, he only stayed there for like 6 fights.
He did though look ****** at that weight.Comment

Roy Jones Jr. all the way.
He was untouchable in his prime and had great power.
The man fought two legends and slaughtered them.Comment

His last trip outside the US resulted in him getting utterly shafted out of a Gold Medal. Can't blame him for never wanting to leave.Originally posted by GEOFFHAYESYeah, and he didn't fight Benn, Eubank or Collins, or Nunn or Liles.
