Reply #41: Roy Jones Jr., the most dominant boxer of all time [View All]

And yes, I know all about Ali and Robinson and Louis.

Jones is simply a freak, the best pound-for-pound fighter for over a decade. He turns matchups against terrific fighters like Bernard Hopkins or James Toney into glorified walkovers.

Get this, Jones has won nearly 90% of the scored rounds during his title fights, NEARLY 20% BETTER THAN SECOND ALL-TIME IN THE CATEGORY. He is always in phenomenal shape and almost never gets hit. ESPN boxing analyst Max Kellerman agrees that Jones is probably the best ever.

Others:

* Tiger Woods, who has dominated a sport that theoretically should not be possible to dominate, given it's nature and number of opponents

* Hicham El Guerrouj of Morocco, 4-time world champion in the 1500 meters and perhaps the best middle distance runner ever. But El Guerrouj will have to add the Athens gold to fully stamp his greatness.
