Roy not a great LHW? Didn't he spend 7 or 8 years there just murdering everyone?
He did but Spinks, charles and Foster would beat him. Do not spit on me either.
Re: What does Hopkins have that Jones doesn't?
Roy didn't cheat to win.
He didn't pretend to be hurt to gain an advantage.
He didn't foul blatantly when the ref was out of view.
He didn't need to.
His reflexes and natural athletic abilities were all he needed to beat anyone when he was young. As he got older these natural abilities started to slip and he lost his luster.

Roy didn't cheat to win? U know he got busted for using PEDs, rights?!? Not saying he is the only guy who cheated, just saying everyone does a little diet to get to the top.
Can you get me the documents showing this to be true?

Can you show me documents... Was he suspended? Fined? What disciplinary action was taken?
Was it just the one time he tested positive--where both fighters tested for it...? That's not very conclusive.

Roy used "Ripped Fuel" when you could buy it over the counter at a freakin 7-11 or corner drug store.
And the fight when it was brought to light was with Richard Hall who cried like a baby that Roy was using illegal meds not peds. As it turned out, Mr. Hall had 10 times the amount of ripped fuel in his system then Roy did. Fighters at the time had been using all kinds of inhalers and shit for years.

On a separate not in the Ring it said that Roy's mistress, a woman boxer, showed naked pictures of him on instagram because he would not leave his wife.

When people actually pick guys like Bob Foster (and I love Bob Foster) to beat Roy, I wish I could spit in their faces.
Unfortunately Roy will forever be underrated because of the last 10 years he spend pissing away his legacy, but prime Roy Jones is untouchable.
Hahaha!!!! Awesome post! "Roy beats anyone ever and if u disagree with me because I made this statement without any supporting facts, I will get mad and wish I could do mean things to u!!!" Look, we get that u r a big fan or Roy's. Got it. The fact is, he didn't fight tough comp at 175 until he got to Tarver. I challenge u to review his record and find someone he beat at 175 who was as big as Tarver, and had the pedigree and boxing background that Tarver had. U lose all credibility when u say Roy could, without a doubt, beat killers at 175 like Foster, Moore, Spinks, and Ezzard Charles. U just can't support those comments and u look ridiculous throwing a fit in the chat room because not many other people agree with u.
Watch Roy Jones fight. Watch Foster fight. Watch Archie Moore fight. Watch Spinks fight.
Four great fighters, no doubt. But if you think either of those guys beats prime Roy Jones, here's some free advice: don't bet on boxing.
I don't analyze boxing based on statistics, record books, rumours, hearsay, ect. I go by what I see.

They missed him, and intentionally, because they would have gotten brought to school like everyone else.
People go on about how Roy never fought anybody and bring up The Tiger. Well, who did Dariusz fight? With the exception of Virgil Hill, he beat a bunch of nobodies and Roy Jones leftovers.

Do not go on what you see, sometimes it is an illusion. :)
