    I definitely think Frazier's got the power to stop him, but what makes you think he can land ?
    Roy's speed is superhuman.

    But that was a past his prime Roy. Bulking up for HW and then losing all that muscle took it's toll on him.

    Prime Frazier is impossible to outpoint and Jones isn't knocking him out either so I see no path to victory for the great Roy Jones Jr

    He hasnt the power to keep Frazier off,nor the chin to absorb his punches when he lands.Frazier would put too much pressure on Roy.

    Roy liked to stay on the ropes, that would be a suicide against body puncher like Frazier. No way that he'd survive 15 rounds with the best HW swarmer ever.

    But Roy doesn't need the power to keep Frazier off, he just needs to move and hit Frazier.
    Frazier is nowhere near as fast and Roy has the reflexes to dodge Frazier's punches.

    But Roy wouldn't be stupid to stay on the ropes, he's just run circles around Frazier and hit him.

    I would bet my life Roy wouldn't hear three bells. Once Joe cuts the ring, Roys body is crushed. Easy work. Btw. That past Roys prime stuff is bull****.

    Interestingly, Ali was too stupid to realize that he should have just run circles and hit Frazier. Why didn't he realized that?

    He was also much bigger, much stronger and more powerful.
