    ?????

    I THINK that's what would have happened.

    Seeing as though I can't call Marty McFly and ask him to bring his Delorean around, we're never going to know what would have happened are we?

    But how ironic, that you've highlighted where I've said 'I think' only to then tell everyone that Roy WOULD definitely have lost. :patsch

    You haven't even typed that you think that's what would have happened, you've actually said it as though it was a certainty.

    Another great post from yourself.

    Jones UD 12 Moorer

    Roy would be cautious and win a wide, dull decision.

    Moorer and Spinks fought legit Heavyweights and won. Jones had one fight against an awful handpicked opponent then made threats and demands and did not fight again at Heavyweight. There is a clear pattern that shows Roy's mindset and the opposite is true of Spinks and Moorer. How do we know? Because they both proved it in the Ring.

    LOL When did Roy Jones become a top tier light-heavyweight? Qawi would make hamburger helper out of Jones. Jones had nothing to keep Qawi off of him.

    Apart from blazing speed of hand and foot, and power from unusual angles.

    Any LHW would have had the capabilities of putting Roy to sleep, if they'd have landed flush.

    But the keyword is IF.

    I'll admit that I haven't seen an awful lot of Qawi, but nobody was going to walk up to Roy and just start battering him.

    Jones keeps his china collection hidden from the spinks power for the full 12 and wins UD.

    Well had Holyfield got the better of Ruiz, you would be on here singing that Roy just beat up on a shot Holyfield.

    Maybe you should watch more of Qawi's fights before you make such a statement.

    One thing is for sure, Roy wouldn't have to punch up to hit Qawi like he would Spinks.. I think Roy would win this one actually, but like always could be potentially stopped. I think Qawi would be easily hit by Roy, and I don't think anyone is tough enough just to brush Roy's clean power shots off for a full 12 without slowing down or being hurt at some point.

    Anyone that thinks Qawi for sure just beats Roy up is thinking of the Roy vs. Glenn Johnson.. We all know that wasn't the real Roy.

    LOL You think Glen Johnson is in the same league as Qawi?

    Surely we're talking about prime Jones here.

    Was 175 Jones best weight? I don't think so.

    When did I say that?

    I think people that think Qawi just walks Roy down and knocks him out is thinking about the post prime Jones from the Johnson fight.. Has nothing to do with how good I think Johnson was.

    It has more to do with how good I felt Jones was before he went up to HW.

    Jones would be no walk in the park for anyone, and that includes Qawi and Spinks.
