Was prime roy jones the best boxer ever?

One of the best really until he met Antonio tarver

The answer is yes. Started at light middleweight and won titles at 160, 168, 175 and heavyweight. Jack you know damn well this will never be replicated within your lifetime

He was one of one

Yes.

I still say Prime Jones vs. Prime Calzaghe is Joe's fight. Calzaghe out worked everyone.

I would say the best athlete

imo he was. But even if you disagree I feel like he should be in everyones top 5 fasho

RJJ is a very limited fighter, with zero defense who is incapable of adapting his game, this is why as he aged he became a punching bag. He still tries to fight this way today. Canelo would sleep this man.

Definitely in the conversation. RJJ at his peak, was untouchable, and could knock anyone out with power in both hands. IMO, RJJ's career was mishandled in the end, fought a few too many, but prime RJJ was different.

Sad fact is he had a sudden decline after his positive steroid test came to light. Never looked the same again. Unbelievably talented fighter no doubt but bit of an * next to his achievements for me.
