GGG VS Roy Jones : How many Rounds would Jones Last?

The Jones that fought Toney was also no longer a middleweight.

Ask yourself this: What attributes and qualities would a fighter need to beat middleweight Jones, and how would that fight play out?

 

He is trying to unify his weight class. It is not his fault it is a bit weak at the moment.

 

This is laughable. Jone would have pummelled Golovkin.

 

Ducking Ward, a REAL challenge, is his fault. And if Bumlovkin is soooo concerned about unifying @ 160 then why is Loeffler still trying to make the Froch fight? Isn't Froch retired? Hasn't Froch been inactive for 17 months? What does a Froch fight have to do with unifying @ 160?

 

Ducking Ward? Who is practically a LHW?

 

As many as he wants until he decides to get GGG outta there basically.

 

Roy lasts all 12 rounds, he was too slick, too fast, and too powerful for Bumlovkin. I doubt it would last 12 though, my guess is Bumlovkin gets folded like a lawn chair in the mid rounds.

 

Yes, DUCKING Ward.

If Bumlovkin is soooo concerned about unifying @ 160 then why is Loeffler still trying to make the Froch fight? Isn't Froch retired? Hasn't Froch been inactive for 17 months? What does a Froch fight have to do with unifying @ 160?

 

That's been answered in spades. Just read three or 4 post from yours. Speed, footwork. being the main difference. Power is about equal. You must be a kid otherwise you wouldn't even be asking this question.

Watch them both and come to your own conclusion. Don't get me wrong GGG could be one of the best ever, but from what I've seen of the two, Jones would win. Huge speed advantage, and the power is not that fair apart.

 

RJJ showed a great jab in the Castro fight.

 

Jones was never even in Golovkins league! GGG would never let a dark boy beat him. He would never lose to a dark boy.

 

I can't speak on the possible Froch fight because I have not read into it, but I would guess GGG sees Froch as a huge fight that would generate thousands of views.

But GGG has spoke several times that unifying MW is his main priority right now, and I believe him.

 

Hiya mate, I've nothing but respect for this post. I respect anyone who can give an honest break down of their opinions, that's based on logic. Because there's a lot of guys on here who can't/won't do that.

I've no issue with you thinking that GG could have beaten Roy. My only issue, is that you'd have favoured him. Because in my honest opinion, he just hasn't shown us enough yet.

If I was asked to create Roy's worst nightmare on paper, it would be a fighter that looked like this:

A guy who was around 6ft

Who had great hand speed

A great chin

Who was a volume puncher

Who had great stamina

Who had great power

Who was a southpaw

On paper, that would have been Roy's kryptonite.

Now I've basically just described Joe Calzaghe there. But do I honestly believe that Joe would have beaten him when he was prime? No I don't. So the point is this, theoretically, I agree that Roy would have had a nightmare with anyone who possessed GG's attributes, that you've listed above. But until he beats better competition, I honestly don't see how you could favour him.

I'm not pro Roy-anti GG. I'm also a fan of GG's. I love how he fights and I think he's great for the sport. And he also strikes me as a fighter who would have relished fighting the great MW's of the past had he have had the opportunity. But in my opinion, yourself and a few others are getting a little carried away. If you don't agree, that's cool. It's cool that we have different opinions, because it makes for a great debate. But that's what I believe.

Whilst I agree with his attributes that you've listed, I have to ask who he's been displaying them against? Now I respect that he can only fight who's available to him, but in my honest opinion, he's yet to beat any very good-great guys.

He's just had a good win over Lemieux at the weekend and taken his IBF belt. I've seen Lemieux a few times, and he's an exciting fighter. But the truth is, he's never beaten anyone. He won his IBF belt in an eliminator, and he didn't even get to defend it once. He's also been knocked out by a guy like Rubio, who in my opinion, also isn't a great fighter. So these wins may be exciting a lot of people, and it may look great on paper that he's beaten a fellow titleist, but in the words of Shania Twain "That don't impress me much."

His biggest wins have been against Lemieux, Murray, Macklin, Monroe, Proksa, Rosado and Geale etc.

Again, he can only fight who's available. But as yet, he hasn't fought anyone who's very good-great.

So the question is this:

Can he continue to show his great attributes against top quality guys?

We'll have to see.

It's going to be both exciting and interesting. But again, until that happens, I don't think he could be favoured over the greats of the past.

Roy's best performance at MW, was against Thomas Tate in 1994. And that was only 6 months before he fought Toney.

The version of Roy that fought Toney was basically the same fighter that fought Tate, apart from that he was obviously just a little bit bigger. So again, at this stage, I don't know how anyone could favour GG over those versions of Roy.
