This is why he ended up getting battered by a fighter several leagues below him.
I'll go with Lenoard purely because I grew up watching him. ;)
All three beat Marciano though ;D
Good job T.! ;D
Not that many people know about the career of Mark Marciano.
The light middleweight who compiled a stunning 3-4 record.

Dummy!!!
I was talking about Tommy Marciano who had a 16-2-1 record back in the 50's ;D

Re: ROY JONES prime) VS SUGAR RAY LEONARD prime) VS SUGAR RAY ROBINSON prime
Robinson every time, he was the greatest pound for pound of all time for the people he thought and the time he lasted,
Sugar ray comes a close second
roy jones comes a very distant third

Leonard had everything in his prime. He could brawl, box, punch, he had a great chin, phenomenal speed & tremendous footwork.
SRL is a great, but not the greatest. He lost to Duran in fight 1, was schooled for 13 rounds by Herans in fight 1 (credit for finishing it though) clearly lost fight 2 with Hearns and probably lost to Hagler!!
Great but not the greatest!!
Re: ROY JONES prime) VS SUGAR RAY LEONARD prime) VS SUGAR RAY ROBINSON prime
yeah robinson and leonard where good but jones at 160 was awesome. he had unstoppable speed,power.
his boxing skill was unmatched by these two and any other boxer you can think of.
the only problem for jones was there was no herns,haglar,leonard to fight in his era. there was only hopkins and toney and he made them look like guys that should be his sparring partners.

Re: ROY JONES prime) VS SUGAR RAY LEONARD prime) VS SUGAR RAY ROBINSON prime
Roy Jones was naturally the biggest so chances are he would win. On a P4P level Leonard was way above RJ imo. And i put Robinson and Leonard on close terms also.
Re: ROY JONES prime) VS SUGAR RAY LEONARD prime) VS SUGAR RAY ROBINSON prime
Where talkin primes here, right? NOBODY...I REPEAT NOBODY, BEATS THE ORIGINAL SUGAR MAN, IN A CLASS BY HIMSELF!!!!
Re: ROY JONES prime) VS SUGAR RAY LEONARD prime) VS SUGAR RAY ROBINSON prime
Roy Jones Jr. prime for prime against anyone would win except maybe Mike Tyson. He was sooo much faster than Leonard or Robinson p4p in both reflexes and handspeed, and he was just as quick as Leonard for footspeed. Last but not least he hit hard enough to knock either one of them out.

Would he have beaten Lennox Lewis or Riddick Bowe??
Re: ROY JONES prime) VS SUGAR RAY LEONARD prime) VS SUGAR RAY ROBINSON prime
pound for pound... are you seriously asking? If they were roughly the same size he would destroy them.
