Message: [QUOTE="Chin Diesel, post: 2188032, member: 34"] Put me in the RJJ camp. In his prime 10 years the best boxer across 30 lbs of weight classes. Roy simply toyed with the best; he could go rounds without being hit. And, unlike most boxers, RJJ is a well-rounded athlete who actually played CBA basketball (as a gimmick) in the day and fought a boxing match that night. RJJ missed out on being a PPV king. He had a style similar to Floyd of not getting hit but he didn't have the showmanship of Floyd. Living in the Florida panhandle vice living in Vegas probably didn't help Jones.

His skill so dwarfs that of his nearest ranked opposition...that providing competitive opponents is a more challenging dilemma than the fights themselves." The expert opinion of Boxing magazine's editor, Bert Sugar, is provided on Jones' website: "He possesses the fastest hands in boxing with lightning fast moves and explosive power in both hands." After Mike MacCallum lost the World Boxing Council light heavyweight crown to Roy Jones in a 1996 unanimous decision, he called Jones "the greatest fighter of all time."[/COLOR] [/QUOTE]
