    That shows how full of spite and bias you are.

    Anyone who would make the suggestion "Roy Jones isn't a great fighter" has no idea what they're talking about, or is motivated by spite, as you clearly are.

    Jones is whithout a doubt an all time great fighter. Make a poll asking the question, and see how it turns out.

    Using the old 'look at the competition' trick can be used by anyone to cut down a lot of great fighter's lists.

    I could do the same thing with Hagler or Carlos Monzon's resume if I wanted two write off a few good wins and highlight some of the softer opponents.

    Give it a rest.

      I'd of taken Nunn to take Jones on the cards, and McClellan to take Jones out.

        But taking the Toney fight away, I don't know if I could find a place for Jones in my HOF.
        The way your write off the Toney fight is quite funny.

        Jones is undeniably one of the top fighters of this generation, an all time great, and a lock for the hall of fame.



        The handfull of upset and spitefull people who try to deny that are only in denial.

        Period.

          Oh wait, that already happened. Twice.

            LOL! You must have "hurt feelings", Bozo.

            Notice how I've left you alone (and your silky sheets) for several weeks now, yet still you come on and try and start one of your ****** name-calling arguments?

            I'm not ****ing INTERESTED, Bozo. I started the thread because I want to know how good people think Roy's comp is. If you can't answer the question, **** OFF.

            You're just a silly little know-all boy who wants to talk about "spite", "nuthuggers", "haters" and "people who know nothing about boxing". If you think Roy's an ATG cos he beat Richard Frazier, then good for you. But I DISAGREE. I have A DIFFERENT SUBJECTIVE OPINION TO YOU THAT IS NEITHER RIGHT NOR WRONG. Can you get this concept?


            Come on, let's hear about how I've just read your message though I have you on ignore. Or better yet, tell me how many forums I post on. Haven't heard that one in a while from the Bozo-A-Matic.

            Seriously, go away and play with someone else. You're so beneath my level, you bore me. You're just a very silly little boy.



            Anyway, I've gotta log off, so feel free to get the last word in over ten pages by yourself. I'll come back on later, though I can't promise I'll read your repetitive bull****. Make a silent gif about it if you want to.

              Toney, Nunn, McClellan > Jones (say, '93)

              Just my opinion.


              Though Jones said the one fighter he was weary about fighting and could possibly beat him in points was Eubank. I can't see Eubank being active enough to win a round tbh.

                PS.... it always cracks me up how everyone on this forum is full of "spite" if they dare to detract from a boxer, when it's No_No_Life who spends his entire time policing this place to trash the Klitschkos, et al. Talk about "spite", LOL.

                Silky sheets!

                  Twice??

                  You could say he lost to Sherry, Thornton, Holmes, Close x 2, Rocky, Amaral, Schommer, and Collins x 2.

                    Bozo says it so that's the end of the debate. I love how he always talks about someone being a "lock" for the HOF, like that means something. Straight from the Bozo-A-Matic, that one.

                    Oh, and "spiteful" has ONE L, not two.
