    roy jones jr has NO legacy at 160,,168,,175 or over 200 pounds

    roy jones jr has NO legacy at 160,,168,,175 or over 200 pounds because he never fought the elite fighters at any weight division he boxed in.


    roy jones jr won a vacant middleweight title and made 1 defence he never fought the best at 160 at that time
    John David Jackson
    Chris Pyatt and he Ducked the two elite fighters of the division Julian Jackson and Gerald McClellan

    A list of the elite fighters at 168 that roy jones was Ducked when he was in that division
    Graciano Rocchigiani
    Steve Collins 2 weight champion at the time
    Nigel Benn 2 weight champion at the time
    Michael Nunn 2 weight champion at the time
    chris eubank 2 weight champion at the time
    Charles Brewer
    Frankie Liles
    Robin Reid

    BEST at 175 was Dariusz Michalczewsk
    roy jones won the vacant wbc title vacanted by Fabrice Tiozzo.
    Fabrice Tiozzo lost his wba title to Virgil Hill then came back and beat Mike McCallum for the WBC light heavyweight title.

    Dariusz Michalczewski beat Virgil Hill for the undisputed light heavyweight championship and holds the record for the most consecutive successful title defenses at light heavyweight 23 defenses. He was champ for 9 years an had a incredible 48 and 0 winning run

    roy jones ducked prime Dariusz Michalczewski for 8 years and did not fight him even when he was shot

    why did jones fight 35yo taver instead of Michalczewski?...........

    why did jones fight ruiz instead of lennox lewis?..........

    roy jones legacy will be remembered as the most protected fighter in history and a drugs cheating,chinny weight hopper that ain,t got a division to claim

    Dariusz Michalczewski
    joe calzaghe
    lennox lewis and bernard hopkins can all claim to be the best fighers in their divisions history.

    Too the people that hype on about prime jones jr take off the rose tinted glasses he lost too a bunch of old guys anyway
    Antonio Tarver was 35
    Glen Johnson 35
    Danny Green 35
    Bernard Hopkins 45 and joe calzaghe was 36 and at the very end of his career.

    prime roy jones jr was “unstoppable” you could not stop the guy from Ducking and Dodging fighters but the beatings he was Ducking and Dodging caught up with him.

      WOAT thread.

      RJJ is MW GOAT and an undisputable ATG. Only SRR, Hagler and Hopkins' come close.

        Jones actually beat Castro while he was at 154lbs I belive.

        his win over a green Hopkins is really overrated, but his win over Toney is top quality. thats a huge win and dominant performance, right there.

        Although he doesnt have many other 'huge' wins(maybe Ruiz), he has a lot of little good ones like Griffin, Hill, Johnson, Hall, Harding, Gonzalez, Woods, Valle, Sosa and Lucas that definitely raise his stock a lot, especially considering his dominance.

        McCallum was way too past prime to be considered a very good win.

          Roy is not even close to being the best 160lb fighter of all time.

                  I dont think Roy was prime either, but he wasnt green. regardless, Im not going to give extra credit to Roy for beating a non-prime Hopkins simply because he wasnt prime either.

                  Within about a year and a half, Roy would go on to beat James Toney in arguably his best performance of his career.

                  meanwhile Hopkins within the next year and a half would go on to struggle with a journeyman in Mercado. I actually thought he won the first bout, but he no doubt looked bad compared to his prime days at MW, which imo didnt start until around the Glen Johnson fight 4 years after the Roy Jones Jr fight.

                  Hopkins was most definitely not prime for the Jones fight, and was only about 9th or so best fighter in the division.

                    how was tarver the best at 174 what the hell did he do ?........

                    why fight 35yo tarver instead of Dariusz Michalczewski ?........

                    what the hell did james toney do at super middleweight to be number one man at the weight?..all tony did is beat Iran Barkley a guy Nigel Benn knockout in one round years earlier and a 45yo hopkins beat jones anyway
