Jones vs Holyfield @190: Who Wins?

nope, theres nothing that Roy had in his arsenal that could of stopped Holy, aint have the power, and his handspeed and agility alone wouldn't of bailed him out of this

i'd be suprised if Roy made it past the 8th round

 

Evander would do somethin to Roy that Roy always avoided and thats a trench war/brawl...Roy wouldnt be able to KO Evander but stranger things have happened.I see Evander attacking constantly and eventually catching Roy in the 2nd half of the fight

 

Evander was a savage beast at that weight and would have walked though Roy to club him to defeat in the second half of the fight.

 

Evander would also be using his head..that would have been the first fight Roy would have ever been cut in

 

it would have been a classic both were greats didnt they try to make the fight at heavyweight after jones beat ruiz i think jones would have won that one cos holy was already well past it .but not at cruiser prime v prime holy would be to much

 

Holyfield by a very early brutal KO.

 

Holy stops him inside of 10.

 

Holyfield by TKO in the later rounds. Holyfield was too strong, crafty, durable and simply tough. Roy would look good early on, but just wouldn't have the firepower to really hurt Holyfield. Holyfield would relentlessly stalk Roy and catch him enough (and rough him up) to slow him down and take the spring out of his step.

Eventually, after some solid body work, Holy would stop Roy. I can see Holyfield landing enough unanswered shots later in the fight for the ref to stop it.

Score would be reasonably close at the time, with Holy getting a small lead into the last couple of rounds. (maybe the scorecards would be even)

 

holyfield would eat jones up for breakfast:bbb

 

Jones never fought at cruiserweight. 190 was Holyfield's best weight so I feel that a Jones victory would highly unlikely.

 

I am curious as to what you are basing this being Holyfields best weight? His best match was a life and death SD over Qawi (a short LH), personally I feel Evander did his best work as a heavy.
I would make Evander a favourite in this match up, however the assets he has against other guys "his size", i.e. speed, movement and workrate are not as evident against Roy. Roy is used to guys with more hand and footspeed and a higher puch output than Holy. He is one of a very few to actually look good against Ruiz. Holy will be against a fighter who is extremely unorthodox and willhit him from angles unlike anything hes experienced before. Roy carried 193lbs? comfortably against Ruiz so we know the weight wont be a factor for him.
