IS ROY JONEs THE GREATEST EVER

[jamiebhoy]

I think whilst Jones was good he would scrape into an all time top 20, it's all a matter of opinions and taste in styles too.Some like defensive fighters others head on chargers.
Problem with Jones was I don't think he called out the people he could have to cement his legacy by clearing up the middleweight and super divisions. he messed around with moving up weights then droppin too quick and causing himself damage. As for him calling out Tyson............

I think Tyson would of made a mess of him.He was calling out Douglas...but his father thought better of it if I remember correctly?

[THE THIRD MAN]

I think Jones jr has damaged his legacy somewhat considerably in recent years and it's alright saying what a great fighter he was 8-10 years ago the fact is he was KTFO by Tarver and soundly beaten another time, KTFO by Glen Johnson and soundly beaten by Calzaghe all in the last 5 years!
Is he an ATG? the answer is yes he is, was he the greatest ever? No he isn't! I don't even think he is the best LHW ever, would he have beaten Bob Foster? I say Bob lands a big one on Roy and it's lights out!
Jones Jr like Oscar drops down a few rungs on the ATG list after some poor performances later in their careers.
