Who could handle a Prime Roy Jones?

ezzard charles was amazinggggg

(thank you espn classic)

 

í think so as well but tommy had the power to turn his lights out as well.
Do you also feel monzon or srr has the best chance vs roy at 160?
And what about saad muhammad at 175, how would he do?

 

Jack Johnson would have beaten Lewis patsch

 

I think Gerald McClellan. Micheal Nunn, and Sugar Ray Leonard at 168lbs could have handled a prime Roy Jones. I'm not saying any of the men listed would have beaten Jones, but I'm 100% their wouldn't have been any triple left-hooks and behind the back knockouts.

With fighters like Roy Jones or Prince Nassem Hamed guys who are highly athletic and unorthodox I've always felt like being as fundamentally sound as possible is the only way to truly be effective.

 

At middle, Monzon and Robinson are the only ones I would put at even money or favor.


At super middle, no one.

At lt Heavy, Moore and Foster and Charles I would favor.


But RJ has a shot in all of them.


Oh yeah, and Hearns always has a punchers chance.

Like hopkins? imo you need great timing for his speed, a good chin, ko power and bigger reach, good jab.
Its just difficult, if monzon was faster he would be the ideal guy.

 

No spinks at 175 or hagler at 160?

 

I'd pick Monzon and Hagler at 160.

 

What about floyd patterson and michael moorer at 175?

 

roids OR no roids version?:smoke

 

At Middleweight I'd favour Hagler and Monzon, although there are quite a few that could've turned the trick. At Super Middle, unless we're including the likes of Charles, Moore, Muderer's Row, etc. who were more or less natural here (before the inception of the division), then I wouldn't pick anyone.

At Lt. Heavyweight there are many I'd favour. I doubt I'd even have him top 10 head to head there.

 

Antonio Tarver did.

 

Peak Marv-Marv.

 

Would it be funny if I said Kell Brook?

 

Pfft, yeah if it was like November 2011.
