where do you place roy jones jr...

[canary]

among light heavyweight greats in history?

billy conn, archie moore, bob forster

[canary]

heres how i put them in order

1. archie moore
2. bob foster
3. roy jones
4. billy conn

archie moores record speaks for itself. not too many were able to fight at a top notch quality even at the advancing age of 37

bob foster. hes one heck of a puncher. he would not only knock you down. he would practically decapitate you.

It's probably just me, but I don't rate Roy Jones so highly. However I do think he could have survived in any era,

I recently posted a poll on the greatest lightheavys in history and Jones is winning. I must say I have to agree.

That's how I would put it also.. As certain levels it's hard to pick a clear number one.. But there a number of guys there you would give a certain fighting chance no matter who they were in with... Roy is up there..

To sort our number 1 vs 2 like that, you need the 2 guys to meet in the ring... And In those cases, sometimes it doesn't work out how you would predict either..

Roy Jones Junior is an all time Great. The man had unbelievable skills.

RJJ is the best LHW ever, but he didn't stay there as long as some, and it wasn't his natural weightclass. I think that he would have beaten any LHW in history though Ezzard Charles and Billy Conn would have been his stiffest competition stylewise.
