BOXING EXPERTS ON ROY JONES (for mayweather sr)

[Lords Gym]

Jones in his prime would have been a handful for anyone make no mistake . I would favor Roy in his prime vs anyone at his weight.. sure he may not win, but Jones would be my pick leading in .

Who the FUCK is Floyd Sr. to criticise Roy Jones Jr. any way?
Hell I wouldn't care if his son criticisized Roy, Floyd Jr. isn't even half the talent or phenom that Roy Jones Jr. was in his prime.

[SweetPea]

Roy Jones was a great fighter, especially in his prime.

But he was not the greatest fighter of all-time in his prime. Not even close. Unless you've never watched a fight before 1994.

Why? Just intrigued. Who could have beat a prime Jones?

Ray Robinson at 147 and Ali between '64 and '67 (pre-exile) are two fighters right off the bat that are superior to Jones.

ali? roy beats him..the roy that fought ruiz would beat any version of ali..he was hit by too many left hooks even in his prime...

Please tell me you're joking.

First off...i find it hilarious that people get so fired up about comments that ANYONE in the Mayweather clan makes. It is obvious they are attention seekers...so people need to take whatever they say with a grain of salt. As far as Roy goes...he was physical beast...a fighter so athletically gifted that he was able to get away with his unorthodox style. But he would never beat Ali. He actually had no business going to heavyweight. His one fight at that division was against an absolute stiff in Ruiz...which is is the ONLY reason he risked going up that high. He would never have been stupid enough to fight a formidable opponent at that weight and in retrospect going up that high and than coming back down probably sped up his decline. So for anyone to even entertain the idea of Roy beating Ali is beyond ludicrous.

Roy Jones Jr is the only boxer GREAT enough for me to watch fight from my LEXUS and miss my business meetings!

Doug Jones arguably beat a young Ali, I say so could Roy Jones.

Now this isnt first hand information, a friend told me, but he is the biggest jones fan out there. Im sayin this guy waited up past 3am every time jone fought. He bought every PPV containing jones EVERYTING after the Olympics...
Anyways he says that Jones was held back from fighting buster douglas because his father and management thought it was a bridge too far...Now i dont mean to offend...but if buster was a bridge too far then Ali is out of the question.
And anyways, why bother mixing eras put jones against the best heavyweight of the time (Lewis/Tyson) would he have won? hmmm...No!

[bcollins]

I'm a huge RJJ fan - but I think it's a stretch to call him the best ever. To say that he could have held his own against some of the all-time greats is no stretch, though. I'll go that far out on a limb

[JonesJrMayweather]

the very fact that people only try to decide how great roy is..is by hypothetically putting him against the greatest heavyweights of all time in itself says how great he was....because he started at jr middle...

because any fighter in the history of boxing @ 175 or below gets beat by prime roy jones....which makes him P4P best

At 168 and 175 i think he would beat anyone at those weights at Middleweight umm not so sure you have Gerald and few others i think Gerald would have good chance at Jones aswell but like i said imo 168 and 175 he beats anyone at those weights.
