What is the greatest achievement of Roy Jones Jr's Career?

[rjj tszyu]

I don't know if he's the ONLY guy to avoid every punch thrown in one round....Willie Pep, Pernell Whittaker, etc may have also acheived that.

I think one of his best acheivements was the demolition of Thulaini Malinga a guy Chris Eubank struggled with and a guy Nigel Benn couldn't stop and RJJ smashed him out in 6

Yeah and he beat Benn in the rematch. I was interested in what you'd vote for actually because I half thought you would go for the Ruiz win because of the size difference but then again you also share my belief that Ruiz is and was then a joke for want of a better word. In fact joke isn't fair because people get on at Ruiz for being a muliple time world champ but its more the boxing organisations splitting everyone so they all have their own champs and making it harder and harder to be undisputed!

So? I made a mistake not making this poll public. What did you vote for Lyle?

Stat-wise his run at LH was pretty impressive. He unified the titles for the first time since the early 80's, He fought 4 undefeted fighters, fought 9 fighters with 3 or less losses almost all of them southpaws, 2 future Hall of Famers (both a little past there prime) and maybe the one true fight of his career gutted out the last 2 rounds to beat Tarver. Tarver totally blew that fight IMO. Roy probably lost more rounds in that fight than his entire run at Light Heavy.

I didn't vote, I couldn't decide on what to vote for....I think the win over James Toney was probably the biggest win he had

His one round icing of Montell Griffith in their rematch had important implications.

...true but it's not like RJJ was losing the first fight when he hit Griffin when he was down

Thats right. Alot of people seem to think Jones was losing the fight but he had turned it round and was actually ahead on two of the cards at the time he was DQ'd!
