Is Roy Jones jr.a sure boxing hall of famer ?explain?

Question

to the looks of it he is a shoe inas a hall of famer, but is there any doubters who doesnt like his accomplishments?

Answer 1

Yes a certain Hall of Famer. His talent is unquestionable. In the eyes of some people the competition he faced is. He did fight the likes of James Toney (a damn fine middleweight and a potential Hall of Famer also), Virgil Hill a very solid boxer, a young Bernard Hopkins. All champions in their own right, and possible choices for the Hall of Fame. May be a victim of not having an excess of highly respected talent to fight when he was in his prime. Unfortunately you can only fight the men in your era.

Answer 2

Yes. He will be a hall of famer for sure. He's one of the greatest lightheavyweight champs ever and even moved all the way up to heavyweight to win the belt. Not a big fan of him since he hasn't really fought good fighters in his prime other than James Toney and Bernard Hopkins but he's still one of the best boxers ever. Pound for pound, there is no doubt that Roy Jones Jr. was one of the best boxers in the world.

Answer 3

Dawson did not get it first poll, so i don't see the assessment. Chipper, i could say first poll, he performs 0.33 and is consistent. Plus he's a variety of function variety participant on a valuable group. Vlad at 34, going to be 35, desires 3-4 extra sturdy seasons to arise close to 500 HR's, if not he will become a borderline case..gets in later, yet basically after considerable lobbying. His .321 everyday is fairly stable, yet his common numbers nonetheless somewhat short...if he end the game or replace into bodily unable to play..his HOF prestige will become additionally questionable.

Answer 4

Yes, what an amazing guy. An athlete like him comes once in a lifetime, maybe 1 in every 100 years. We won't see the likes of him for a very long time. Some great fighters can proudly say they were the best in a generation, he can stand tall in any generation, his skills transcends all generations such is the rarity of his achievements.

Answer 5

yes, he is most certainly a hall of famer! however the problem w/rjj is that one must wonder, "was he really that good?" or was it that there were just not enough guys around to seriously challenge him? not to draw a comparison, but, ali had a similar problem in the 60's in that he made rough, tough, and talented professional fighters look like amatuers. no one could catch him back then. after his layoff, he slowed down, he became easier to tag, so he altered his style and didn't just rely on freakish talent to dominate but, rather, on intellectual warfare, pride, grit, and heart! we may never know how truly gifted roy was, but, bec he was so dominant for so long, he most likely will be in the hall...much less talented fighters are!

Answer 6

I sure think he is. Best pound for pound champion in a long time. He was the man, is the man, and will be the man to enter the boxing hall of fame.

Answer 7

yes because he did not lose for over a decade after the dq loss to griffin.unified the light heavyweight title for the first time in a long time.won partial titles in super middleweight and middleweight and heavyweight.

Answer 8

He beat alot of fighters from middleweight to LtHw, as well as becoming a HW champion

Answer 9

He will be in the hall of fame. He was boxing's best pound for pound fighter for a decade.

Answer 10

I won't vote for him, because he never offered me cheez-its.
[Otherwise, not sure if he's a sure thing, but he was definately exciting to watch, even with the lack of cheez-its.]
Fighter of the decade in 1999, thats pretty impressive.
