Is Roy Jones Jr the best pound for pound boxer ever?

Roy Jones Jr. is widely considered one of the greatest pound-for-pound boxers of all time. With an incredible record of 66-9, 47 KOs, he dominated the light heavyweight and heavyweight divisions for over a decade.

Jones Jr. possessed exceptional speed, power, and agility, which allowed him to control the pace and distance of his fights. His signature move, the "Superman punch," was a devastating left hook that could knock out opponents with ease.

Many experts argue that Jones Jr.'s peak years were from 1993 to 2003, during which time he won multiple world titles and defeated some of the best fighters of his era. His victories over James Toney, Mike McCallum, and John Ruiz cemented his status as one of the most dominant boxers of all time.
