    USADA or VADA?

    USADA - I have GGG by brutal KO

    VADA - I have GG by even more brutal KO and RJJ failing the post fight blood test.

    I think Toney and McCallum beat him too.

    Roy was an outstanding talent who would be meeting his stylistic kryptonite. Golovkin is the first middleweight since Roy I'd favor against him because of it.

    As per the other thread, and vice versa.

    I respect your opinion, but I don't see what you've seen to have made him the favourite over Roy.

    I think it's far too early to be making predictions like that.

    I think you mean 25-year old Jones. When Jones was 28 he was already at 175.

    In any case, Jones by UD.

    Anyone who choses a Golovkin win, please block me so I can't see your posts again.

    RJJ would at VERY LEAST UD GGG in wide scorecards.

    It is almost silly to speculate about what would happen. GGG is one of the best fighters I have ever seen. So is RJJ. They both are freaks of nature, in terms of power and, in Roy's case, speed. I would have to give the edge to RJJ only because RJJ had the ability to be unhittable, while landing quick, effective shots. I think the most likely scenario is RJJ outpoints GGG, only because GGG wouldn't be able to catch Roy. But, clearly, this is one of those fights where it is very possible that GGG could catch Roy. Not probable, in his prime, but possible. I think many posters are underestimating GGG's abilities.

    No he wouldn't. He couldn't put a fat lightweight in a coma...while Hearns did. Hagler's power is overrated.

    Prime RJJ was sick. But we will never know if his chin was glass because he was never really hit. He wasn't really challenged at all. I truly believe he had China in his chin even at MW. He was too good. There had to be something he didn't have.

    Jones has an abysmal Glass Jaw he would crumble from the first punch GGG lands.

    Today, yes. But in his prime, no. You are comparing apples and oranges.
