Roy Jones vs Jack Johnson

[Nightcrawler]

if a shit stained, unathletic farmer like willard can knock out johnson, then jones kills him. literally. with a fucking jab. during the pre-fight intros

[PowerPuncher]

Jones wide shut out UD

[Flea Man]

Johnson would still be giving Jones an awkward look. I'll give Jack his gloves. His sporadically choppy offence would make Roy out Jones him for a wide UD. Johnson makes it messy, gets his clinches broken up quicker, probably gets some points deducted.

Jones decision.

[Mendoza]

Anyone picking Johnson?

[robg]

Roy Jones 120-108 UD.

vs.

RedBull RB8:

Supid comparison.

roy jones vs. (insert name) always loses on the classic

you could pit him against fucking bob murphy and people would find a way to demolish jones

I would say it is just the opposite...Jones is seen beating everyone from HW & LHW, and is greater in hypotheticals that he was in real life...For a guy that is not even a top 10 possibly top 15 ATG LHW, he is seen by alot on this forum to beat nearly every one....

If Tarver can destroy RJJ, than jack kills him...Nice logic, and I am quite certain that is, the best version of Johnson available?

Now I get it...Yes, RJJ should be able to be an old, faded and past prime Johnson....

Briliant logic, that we have come to excpect from you...If Johnson can KTFO RJJ....jack would moida the bum...

You want to pick RJJ fine, I am sitting one the fence myself...Just use better reasoning than the two listed above.

Jones firing single shots will make life easier for Johnson.

He might be the best shot catcher in history and Jones might be unpredictable but Johnson and his lead uppercut is just as unpredictable.

I see it being a chess match but ultimately Johnson will land and knock Jones out.

I take the Johnson v Jeffries over any version of Jones any night of the week.

It was just a reply to a silly post.

well that was my point as well. a past prime roy was being used in the argument so i figured we should throw in a past prime johnson.

using the tarver version of roy is just as silly as using the willard version of johnson

let's take their best forms against one another. say jones (hill-ruiz) vs johnson (burns-jeffries)

i admit, it's changed recently. and justifiably. jones was amazing at his best and should be favoured againt many on here. he didn't dominate a great era in any weight class, had no true rivals but rarely ever lost rounds against ANYONE including his top 10 opposition. that merits a solid placement.

given that he destroyed two of the best of his era and legitimate greats in hopkins and toney without losing more than a handful of rounds, he should command some respect.

however, it shouldn't go past what we've seen on film and he's demonstrated in real life. jones was not perfect and fighters like spinks, charles and even conn should be favoured against him
