    How could Golovkin have done with him? I think Roy Jones speed was incredible and would have been winning on points but I honestly feel he was always hiding a dodgy chin and with Golovkin's power and pressure I think he could possibly take him out at some point.

    I favor Jones by UD but wouldn't be surprised by a Golovkin knockout

    The thing is with Roy Jones is you could not rule a knock out in his favour either because he could bang as well.

    True I was gonna say late stoppage but I think Golovkin has a great chin so I made it UD

    I think it would be a great clash of styles. Golovkin is starting to appear to be up there with the likes of a peak Hopkins and Toney but unlike them he was not completely defense orientated and he may have given Roy his first loss.

    NC

    RJJ will probably win close on points and then fail the postfight drugtest. so a No Contest.

    How could anybody watching last night, think that he would have beaten Roy?

    And I really like GGG.

    He couldn't have handled the speed.

    Gennady would butcher Roy, Roy was an ambush artist making people walk into traps, it worked then but that trick has been figured out for ages now.

    Golovkin would control everything and not fall for anything of Roy's. Roy would be under immense pressure, and speed would be nullified as Roy focused only on covering up on the ropes will getting bombed.

    But it's unfair to put roy in against a guy that has more modern knowledge of the sport and fights with a style Roy would have never seen.

    Without steroids.

    GGG by KO.

    But Roy's prime had Victor Conte creating undetectable ****tails, and GGG couldnt keep up.

    GOAT by UD.:good

    I think a uneventful close 8-4 type fight in Roys favour maybe. Wouldnt rule out Golovkin like a rake of posters will though

    In his era, Roy Jones.

    In this era, Jones fails a pre fight drug test and the fight get called off before it happens.

    If Jones deicded not to juice then Golovkin obliterates his glass mandible.

    Jones by KO look what he did to fighters a like Tate who went this distance with a puncher like Julian Jackson ..GGG would have been destroyed .
