where do you place roy jones jr...

[Chris Nagel]

It's probably just me, but I don't rate Roy Jones so highly. However I do think he could have survived in any era,

I recently posted a poll on the greatest lightheavys in history and Jones is winning. I must say I have to agree.

That's how I would put it also.. As certain levels it's hard to pick a clear number one.. But there a number of guys there you would give a certain fighting chance no matter who they were in with... Roy is up there..

To sort our number 1 vs 2 like that, you need the 2 guys to meet in the ring... And In those cases, sometimes it doesn't work out how you would predict either..

Roy Jones Junior is an all time Great. The man had unbelievable skills.

RJJ is the best LHW ever, but he didn't stay there as long as some, and it wasn't his natural weightclass. I think that he would have beaten any LHW in history though Ezzard Charles and Billy Conn would have been his stiffest competition stylewise.

I think that Bob Foster would have caused him most trouble personally. I'm not saying that Roy wouldn't have beaten him but thats who I'd go for plus he never got beat as a LHW.

I think Roy may be the best fighter of all time. I say "may be" because i wasnt around to see a lot of the best like Ray Robinson.

Hes definately the best fighter i have ever seen, and its not even close imo.

Roy at super middleweight was unreal, almost superhuman. He hit you and you didnt hit him.

Bob Foster would have beat him and dont even go there with Archie Moore.

Moore gets totally under-rated because he fought 15yrs too long but in his peak with his work-rate would have stopped Jones mid fight. Jones could not fight 3mins of a round and when ever he fought a guy with skill and work-rate (which was rare) he either lost or had a real tough fight.

For skills its Jones but no work-rate, no-jab and no-chin.

3rd or 4th.
