Roy Jones, where did it all go wrong?

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.

Like what fights?

Exactly. He fought pretty much the best out there. It wasn't his fault he didn't really have many challengers. Yes he could have waited around MW and fought Jackson and McClellan etc, but he was growing out of the division fast and he moved up and fought a better fighter in Toney IMO.

He should get more credit for beating Hopkins when he was 28 (prime age) and with only one hand too. The problem was that Hopkins was fairly unknown at the time but he was still a very very good fighter and definitely better than he is now. I had that fight 8-4 in Jones' favour and I think it would have been even more comprehensive had he been fully fit.

Well Roy didn't fight Darius or Calzaghe or Liles among others.
