Yeah Roy Jones was one of a kind, an absolute physical and mental freak in the world of sports, and it's a damn shame that people don't appreciate him more.

His only flaw is that he was TOO good. In completely dominating all of his opposition and making them look like complete shit, he gave the world the impression that his opposition WAS complete shit.

People can say he fought shit opposition (anyone who really knows boxing from the 90s knows that isn't true), but ok, assuming he fought no one that could even compare to other past greats at 175, I'll use this analogy: if you go to some college track meet in some small town in Nowhereville, and you see a motherfucker run the 100m in 9 seconds flat but the other guys racing him were running 11s, are you going to disregard the 9 second guy because he was racing against lesser opposition? Of course not!

Even if Roy Jones was fighting soccer moms his whole career, anyone with two eyes and a brain can see that his speed was second to none in the history of boxing P4P (there was nobody Roy's size who was faster in the history of boxing), his reflexes were second to none, his boxing IQ was off the charts, ect ect.

Styles and skill make fights, and Roy's style and skill tears up any of these dudes. Bob Foster was a bad man but he's not touching Roy with that left hook. We're not talking about Dick Tiger or Mike Quarry. Anyway I'll leave it at that!
