Prime Roy Jones Jr. is the greatest combat sports athlete that ever lived

Gerald McClellan?

I would have liked to see Roy fight Gerald, Eubank(s), Benn, Julian Jackson…
during his “prime” when all those fights were available

I had to google who that was…

That is such a dumb thing to say.

And that.

And that.

And that.

The only statement I made here that’s questionable is that he would lose to people who were skilled in more complete disclipines in a street fight. He butchers almost anyone in a street fight other than the elite who practice more complete disciplines.

It was all wrong.

Out of interest, please tell me what a street fight is? Describe it.

You don’t know what a street fight is?

I was asking what your idea of a street fight is, obviously.

When people fight in the street.

…they risk getting hit by a car.

A street fight is essentially anywhere on land outside a ring/cage/enforced rules type environment… obv not limited to actually fighting in the middle of a street.

Now, someone who can kick, elbow, knee, grapple and box ect. would obviously be at a huge advantage over someone who could only box in this type of environment… but to beat someone like prime RJJ in a street fight, they’d have to be pretty fucking good.

You need to step it up if you’re going to post in the GOAT’s thread.

Roy Jones isn’t even the best Jones in combat sports history.
