Roy Jones Jr. is a boxing legend and took on many of the sport’s best fighters.
The 55-year-old currently boasts a record of 66 wins and 10 defeats and boxed as recently as last year when he was defeated by Anthony Pettis by majority decision.
But he’s far more known for his career in the late 90s and early 00s when he took on boxing greats like Bernard Hopkins and James Toney.
He credits the later as being the best fighter he took on in his career.
Speaking to talkSPORT he said: “As far as skill goes James Toney is definitely the best fighter I have ever been in there with and it will never change.
“James had everything: he had offence, he had defence, he had movement, he had everything.
“The one thing he may have lacked was footwork because I had that too.
“So when you talk about a complete fighter there are not many complete fighters being built every day.
“You rarely come across fighters like Terence Crawford, Andre Ward, Roy Jones Jr, even Canelo Alvarez and Dmitry Bivol.
“These are all complete fighters. James was a complete fighter, you feel me?
“He could stay in the pocket all day long and not be harmed. Not many guys can do that.”
