Roy Jones was more impressive on the first look. Sugar Ray had demonstrated some superb stuff against a much tougher opposition. Furthermore, RJJ performed in the times, when apparently all of them were on PEDs, and Jones particulary had some issues on this subject.

It's a tough question to answer as the majority of people alive today never saw SRR fight in his absolute prime & there's no fight footage available either for those that aren't old enough to make a sound judgement.

That's also a point.
