Will there ever be another Roy Jones?

At the end of the day, there were legit reasons why he didn't fight most of the guys people bring up.
I can't think of one.

And I mean knocking the guy because he didn't have 100 plus fights before his skills eroded?
Not at all., It's not about quantity, it's about quality. What I meant by comparing SRR's 100 plus fights, was that he actually was 122-1 by his 11th year, tough to say his skills eroded after 100 plus fights, so we have to use age. to which I agree with you that by 35 he was shot. But not after 50 fights, let alone 120 fights.

Come on, dude. Sugar Ray Robinson was shit at 35. So was Henry Armstrong, Willie Pep, Joe Louis, Muhammad Ali, Sugar Ray Leonard, Pernell Whitaker, ect ect. That's the age where guys are typically past their prime, if not sooner.

35 was ancient then...but fellaz like Bhop to Tarver have changed the goal posts. ALL DAY LONG. Even smaller fighters were finished by their mid-30's but JMM is changing that as well. RJJ lives a healthy lifestyle, no drugs alcohol, food binging, so what gives that he physically deterioated when he didnt have war upon war? My best guess is that losing all that muscle to drop down, must of really hurt him...or he was a closet freak and the women drained him!!!

Do you know the reason why he didn't fight Nigel Benn, Eubank, Michalczewski, ect? Do you have an opinion on the reason why they didn't happen?

His speed and reflexes were the first to go and its obvious the drop from heavyweight ruined him.

But look what he has acomplished up until this day...RJJ is the only boxer I would ever want to be in his prime and that includes mayweather.

Yeah, Roy didn't have the technical skill of Floyd but he had something Floyd never did, and that was LEGIT one-punch KTFO, end the fight at any time power in both hands.
