GGG vs Roy Jones Jr 160~ Would GGG be able to KO Roy?

You just said he was hittable and yet no one came close to knocking him out. If Hopkins and Toney ain't able to hit that chin, what makes you think a Golovkin is gonna do hit? Your opinion in regards to Jones is absolutely glass.

 

roy never beat a puncher like golovkin. tarver was probably the hardest puncher roy fought. mccallum was old and washed when roy met him, so his name can't be used. if roy never got hit in his prime then why did his chin all of a sudden get bad overnight? makes no logical sense at all and roy's chin deteriorating is one of the biggest urban legends in boxing.

 

Rico takes the glass jaw thing way too far...

Roy had a decent chin in his prime, If he didn't he wouldn't have beat Toney, who did connect with a very hard clean left hook in round 5, similar to the one that knocked Michael Nunn's block off.

You can tell it hurt Roy, and what did Roy do? He unleashed an onslaught of his own..

Prime Roy was never really had to bring out beast mode too often, but Toney got some of it in that fight, and Griffin got it in the rematch.

 

GGG is shitting his pants when someone says ward

Ward is hopkins without a chin

Roy literally destroyed hopkins

This questions ajoke

Roy kills him

 

Who hit harder out of Roy's opponents is debatable.. I think Toney's power is underrated because he is a slick defensive fighter, but his well placed counters can end your night with one shot.

But what isn't debatable is Roy beat other great fighters, GGG hasn't. Let alone someone as great as a prime Jones..

Bringing up certain fighters Roy never beat in this argument is useless, because GGG hasn't beat anybody, and is totally unproven period.. We simply don't know what kind of fighter GGG is, until he beats some of the best in the sport... Roy was far more tested, over 4 weight classes.

 

Wow, hold on a second. I like GGG as much as the next guy. He has an exciting style and potential to be a great champion. Isn't it a bit soon to be putting him in time machine fights against atg's? Let's face it, his biggest win is vs Macklin. Matthew isn't exactly prime James Toney. I'm still waiting to see for sure if Gannady is the best middleweight in the world TODAY.

 

I said he wasn't as unhittable as people act like. Lou Del Valle put him on his ass for instance and he wasn't a puncher. Ever.

I also never said who would win only that GGG has the power to shatter that fragile Glass Jaw of Roy's into a million shards all over the ring.

Jones never fought a savage puncher in his whole career. GGG will put lumps on you. Those guys Jones was fighting looked like they could go to the Prom afterwards. There is a reason why Jones didn't fight a savage puncher. The evidence is there. How can you move up all those weight classes and never fight the #1 guy there? How?

That doesn't sound odd or strange to you? :huh

 

I haven't seen GGG hurt in any fight he's been in, but than again he's been taking on blown up JMW's and a bunch of tomato cans at MW.

I know nothing of GGG's chin because it's never been challenged as a pro boxer, but I'd favor Roy Jones to win a clear UD or knock him out in the later rounds. Roy Jones at 160 lbs is almost like a unicorn- something like a WW version of Ray Robinson. There's no fighter at 160 lbs- Monzon, Robinson, Mickey Walker, Hagler, B-Hop, etc., that I'd favor over a prime 160 lb ROy Jones.

If GGG couyld make it to the final bell, it would be a moral victory for him.

 

Don't be so sure..

There were multiple fighters that went the distacne with savage p4p punchers that were taken out early by Roy.

 

Not too many opponents had any interest in fighting a prime Jones. Look what he did to his supposed great challengers like Hopkins in 93 or James Toney- they both got embarassed pretty bad in their matchups with Roy.

There's no doubt that Jones Jr showed he had a weak chin in the latter stage of his career, but that was after 50+ pro fights that he had. He only lost to Tarver and started getting knocked out when he was WELL past his prime.

I don't remember anyone ever really hurting him when he was fighting in the 1990's (aside from flash KD's.). I wasn't too thrilled either with his opposition in the 90's, but can you honestly name one person from 160-175 lbs in the 1990's that could've actually beaten a prime Jones Jr.??? NOne of those European SMW's would've had a chance in hell against him when he was in his absolute prime around 1995-1998.

 

I am confident Gerald McClellan or Julian Jackson would have put Roy spark out cold. DM certainly could have savagely KOed him. Roy fought none of them. And for good reason. Roy simply refused to make the big fights. If those 'Europeans' were so easy why didn't Jones just fight them and prove it? They were far better than the line of guys he was fighting in the mid to late 90's for sure.

 

Even back then Roy got hit . Lets not go that far .

Can GGG stop Prime Roy ?

Of course . Anything can happen in a ring .


My prediction : Golovkin receives the ass whippin of a lifetime

 

Ya because James Toney punch like pulie malannagi and John Ruiz though not the most gifted title holder couldn't punch neither. And, What makes you think that Golovkin punch harder than those guys, because hes' knocking out 154 pounder?

 

The 154 pounder part is a lame discussion. This isn't about GGG vs. Roy for me because that's a stupid fantasy match-up that shouldn't be asked at this stage. But rarely does someone break a couple ribs on a guy in his own division with one shot. You can say whatever you want about Macklin as a fighter, but it does take some heavy ass hands to break ribs.

 

Why didn't Roy fight those Europeans? We didn't know that its common for the number one pfp fighter in the world to go to Europe in search of some unknown title holders. That makes sense.:roll:

Whats next, Mayweather should go to England in search of Kel Brook?
