Roy at times was criticized because he went long periods of time fighting guys who were not up to par....Truth is there really was no one great for him to fight during his years as LH king....Unlike today he did not have the option to drop down to SM which at the time was no mans land...The cruiserweights had the same quility of opp....Champions Like Imanu Mayfield were of no benifit for Jones to jump up and fight....But he disposed of all comers good and bad who were in the LH division...His jump to HW was more due to the fact there was nothing for him to accomplish at LH then anything.....People like to say he was not as good as we thought because he deteriorated so quickly....it had a combination of age weight loss and just the fact he went so long without being tested....Louis had the same downfall and no one ever questioned how good Joe was?....Roy had enough quality opponents over the years to compensate for the so so opp he face as LH champ...He had the ability you cant blame him if the sport did not have the men for him to be truly tested...Roy is an all time great with out question....Lets not be mistaken though he was not better then Robinson....Ray has more HOF fighters on his resume then most guys today have fights
