I'm with you on THIS one,Frank :good

 

Jones likely a class above Conteh ... wins by decision ..

 

I never had any disagreements about Conteh beating them because I think they're just as overrated as he was and I don't know much about Conteh so it is more than just possible that he could beat them , I only meant it in the manner of Hopkins whom is one of this forum greatest favorites who beats everyone in fantasy fights ('cept from Charles & Conteh) still loses a fantasy fight to Conteh on ESB classic.
I never thought for a fracture of a second that it was a wrong choice , just was surprised and took time to understand the reason to the Huge respect Conteh gets here.
Hopkins , Conteh grossly overrated , Charles too , with the little difference that he actually was a very good fighter , but far from how he is considered here.

 

Conteh was very good...... but hardly on Roy's level.

He puts up a good showing, but Jones makes him look 2nd rate for the most part, and wins going away.

 

If Conteh catches him,though........it happened with Tarver.

 

Conteh wins it IMO, his consistant jab and subsequent countering off of it bodes well here IMO, although Jones' speed is obviosuly going to allow JOnes some sucess but I see a Conteh KO at some point.

 

I like Jones by decision.

 

THat's because 90% of the time Conteh only ever gets matched with Hopkins or Calzaghe on here, or Toney.Or some other supermiddle who never proved **** against good light heavies.

It's one of this forums strangest trends.There's been almost as many threads on them over the years as Whitaker vs Duran.

 

I just realised i've tried to talk seriously to alias troll frankenfrank.

I need a break from here.

 

It is weird how Conteh always gets the same random match ups.

Its like the Pep vs Malignaggi thread that has popped up more than once. Weird

 

He doesn't usually do THAT well in the rare 175 vs 175 fights he crops up in, about on par with pastrano or torres.I've seen plenty pick ****ing Virgil Hill over him.


Ancient supermiddles seem to be his level and speciality

 

If you can't appreciate frank's sophisticated ironies then your soul must be laden with bricks.
