Steve Collins vs Roy jones jr

[ruthless rocco]

They paid their sanctioning fees and its no different today. How all of a sudden was Matthew Hatton a contender for Alvarez having never fought at 154? This kind of thing has been happening forever and all you need to be today to challenge for one of the many trinkets is to be a top 15 and in many cases pretty much yearly fighters magically appear in rankings.

but no one's trying to say canelo is one of the all time greatest fighters.

roy made that assertion daily.

But Roy never fought guys like that except for early in his career. Look at Chavez Sr's first 40 fights. Point is we can find fault in just about any greats record if we look hard enough. That does not detract in the end to how great they are/were. And many fighters claim to be the Goat. In the end no doubt in my mind that Roy is one of the greatest fighters that ever lived. Where he rests on peoples lists is subjective but he definitely deserves to be on the list. To bad he is soiling his legacy in a way by fighting on.

1999... prime roy jones jr 38-1 (32 KO) WBC WBC lightheavy champ. vs richard frazier 18-3-1 (7 KO)

y'all musta forgot!

Ok so you hate Roy Jones cause he fought an optional.

Think he rode the wbc #1 ranking for a year without having a fight, could be wrong though.

I'd toss in Jones vs Otis Grant who never fought at Lt. hvy and jumped two weight divisions to have the distinction of being Roys showcase cannon fodder.

I'd go for Vinny for that trophy. Jones showed something he had never shown before or since in that fight. A dominant jab and I could not believe how good it was. Why he abandoned that and relied on reflexes will always puzzle me. Roy got all kinds of breaks because of his drawing power.

chavez jr didn't fight as a amateur... his first 40 fights were his first 40 fights. so thats not really relevant.
roy's amateur record was 121-13.

i don't hate roy jones jr... i'm just aware that he was a bit of a bitch pussy who chose his fights very carefully to look his best not to challenge himself to do his best against the best.

Just kidding

Most all time great Mexicans have no amateur record. And like I have already said, all of those involved share the blame as to why they did not fight.

[ruthless rocco]

here's an interesting roy jones jr video...

first they announce that they've fitted roy trunks with a mic to record the sounds in his shorts in the ring. very strange.

then at the 3minute mark george foreman predicts that roy will move up in weight and become heavyweight champion! jim lampley laughs it off and ridicules george. haha.
then at the 50:48 minute mark george says he should stay at middleweight if he wants to remain great.
