Roy Jones, Jr. v James Corbett

Corbett has that old time footwork and stance. Jones has no idea what that could do to a fighter. Also, Corbett was a physical specimen and he'd impose his will from the outside.

 

To be fair, Jones himself has the old school footwork and stance. It's really rare in the modern era seeing someone fast enough to get away with leaning back against an opponent.

But Jones has the speed advantage and will, at some point, crush him with the left hook.

 

RJJ also has the glass chin that Corbett will take advantage of with his counterpunching and legendary skills

 

Whilst Jones has chin issues, I don't think they're any worse than Corbetts. Plus Jones is a bigger puncher, and he's quicker and less predictable so more likely to exploit the chin of Corbett.

Both fighters were renowned for their skillset.

 

I disagree!!!!!

I know, I was just playing along with you.

 

He beats Fitzsimmons and he has a chance to outpoint Jeffries, although he must avoid getting hit clean.

 

Good joke. Roy pisses all over Corbett and beats him any which way he wants.

 

Duh.
Of course they are more skilled.

Of course he is better.

 

Have you even seen Corbett's footwork? RJJ still needs to learn what Corbett forgot.

 

I'm not convinced there's much evidence Corbett had chin issues.

The only time he was anything like KOed by a head punch was the first fight with Jeffries.

 

You would beat Fitzsimmons and Jeffries as well wouldn't you.

 

Jones didn't have chin issues until age 35 and burning 25 pounds of muscle.

 

How does your speed compare to Roy’s Johnny_B?

As quick or almost as quick?

 

I thought you would say that Jones destroys Jefferies
