Tha funny thing is, Roy Jones would beat the SHIT out of Ali!
Theres no discountin who Ali is, or what Ali has done. And if anyone refers to him as the Greatest of All Time, i probably wouldnt argue with them. But like ive said a million times in other posts...athletes, simply get better as time goes on. Athletes now, are FAR more athletic and skilled then athletes 30 yrs ago. Athletes 30 yrs from now, will be far more athletic then those now. Itz a fact, and it doesnt take away from who those past athletes were, or what they did. Athlete might of been the Greatest for his time, but u cant compare him to boxers of our generation. Different breed. The only past Heavyweight from that Generation, that i see possibly holding a title in this era, is Foreman. And thats based solely on his power. Today they are strong, AND quik sumtimes. But at least he had the power to knock anyone out. Ali would get dropped by Tyson in his prime, i believe Holyfield in his prime would beat him, and Lewis now, would probably beat him. Not to mention Jones, i think Jones has as much power as Ali, but is honestly FAR quicker. I luv Ali, but this IS a new era.

there is a god....really finally someone with a little knowledge of sports....and who is'nt stuck in the past....and i agree that roy jones, tyson in his prim, and maybe hoylfield too would make ali look out classed....really he struggled against joe frazier... people like m-dogg are the people that will say...arnold palmer is a better golfer than tigger woods or the 72 dolpins could beat any team from this era...really its evolution...get with the 21 centurty
oh and i've been reading and heard on some talk shows that people are starting to consider roy jones as the greatest fighter ever!!! really he's never lost(griffen faked getting hit getting jones dq'd) went through 4 divisioins beating everydody...not only that he would kick cashes clays ass
marcian had the greatest career...he wouldnt stand a chance against some middle weight of today...let alone the heavyweights

not surprised. I mean, whats the argument against him? Hes had no real losses. And theres been no DOWN times in his career. Damn near every boxer has had a moment where they slipped, except Marciano. Roy has ran thru every single boxer put in front of him (fuk Griffin, everyone knows that way trash). Hes moved up to Heavyweight, theres no further weight class to move up to. What else does he have to do? He's proven to be far too powerful for anyone in his weight class, and far too quik for anyone bigger then him. And honestly, his power is VERY underrated. I think he could knockout alot of Heavyweights in the game right now. Remember, a powerful punch has the same impact as a quick punch. U typically dont get knocked out by the punch u SEE coming. Roy Jones hits u from angles that u dont expect, and u dont see. Fighting Lewis is maybe a stretch, for size reasons. BUT, Lewis IMO has a glass jaw...and i wouldnt be surprised if Jones could catch him wit a quik counter punch and drop him. Tyson vs Jones would probably be the biggest pay per view ever. But i dont know what Jones would gain by fighting Tyson, except another pay day. But there styles would make for a GREAT fight probably. Holyfield, shit...this used to be my favorite boxer...since he very first became a heavyweight. But honestly, i think its his time to retire. Whatever happens from now on, id put Jones in the top 4 fighters of all time...and quite possibly number 1. Everything iz up for debate.
BTW, i still think the most dangerous Heavyweight to Lewis's title...is Vladimir Klitzko (spelling lol). I dunno how many of yall seen him fight, he's a fukin machine! I mean, Ray Mercer is old and his career is on the decline...but he had NEVER been knocked down by a punch to the head in his whole career. Not by Tyson, not by anyone...until Klitzko really pounded him. It looked like Rocky 4 when Ivan Drago faught Apollo Creed lol. Crazy shit.
