    It's also funny that some talk about BHOP's technical skills, yet roy clearly out pointed him. But I guess BHOP was too green, even though he had more fights than roy, and he was ranked #1 MW and Roy #2. Roy is discredited as if he was prime and BHOP wasn't. The best version of Roy would have beaten the best version bhop 9 out 10 times.

    He doesn't have them just going off ability i guess but shit i mean Leonard had just as much power and speed then Jones. He also had better chin and beat better people i mean resume anyhow.

    Roy relied on his reflexes, Roy got older, Roy slowed down, Roy got hit.

    Mystery over.

    Marvin Hagler Amateurish? Yeah like that ever happened.

    I dobt Roy Jones could ever have made 160 on the day of a fight anyway. He'd have been goingagainst Michael Spinks.

    I can only assume by this you mean that he would have had Hagler using all the correct amateur techniques, turning over his punches & mixing well to the head & body to win. Because you can't seriously be suggesting that Marvin Fuckin' Hagler would be made to look like a mug as he was in his professional career by absolutely nobody!

    Marvin was no technical slouch but if he stayed true to himself then inevitably Marvins chin would had to of been tested by Roy like it'd never been tested before. I'm not sayin Roy would win but I'm saying Marvin would have to speculate to accumilate and he might of ended up eating more than he could swallow.

    Having said that, I'm only speaking about the front end. Marv was a rock and may have just opted to blast right throug Roy untill the job was done!

    James Toney and BHOP would beat all of them too. And Jones would kayo Hearns, duran, and benitez. Possibly even leonard. Only one I'd pick to go the distance and lose a wide decision is hagler. But at 160-168 Jones power was maxed, and was better than all of theirs so he may even stop him too.

    BHOP was ranked #9 at the time.

    I don't think Jones was a top 10 but he is in my top 25 he was a hell of a fighter but just to many fights he didn't get to have at the time.
