Who beats a prime Roy Jones Jr ?

You would you pick to beat RJJ, or give more than a 50-50 chance ?

At middleweight ?
At 168 ?
At light-heavyweight ?

Or anyone under 175, (there might be some smaller fighters?), at catch-weights or at any given weight, barring heavies and cruisers.

 

Pongsaklek Wonjongkam at flyweight

 

mw:
favs: Robinson, Monzon, Hagler, Fitzsimmons (depending on ruleset), Burley;
50/50: Tiger, Steele, Zale, Valdes, Walker;
others: Dempsey, Ryan and Greb I think would at least be 50/50 too but there´s too much speculation involved to seriously discuss this.

smw:
fav: Fitzsimmons, Choynski, Langford (if you count them as smws and depending on ruleset);
50/50: Calzaghe.

lhw:
favs: Charles, Moore, Foster, Spinks, Tunney, Fitzsimmons (depending on ruleset), Langford (depending on ruleset);
50/50: Loughran, H. Johnson, Conn, Bivins;
others: Greb would be at least 50/50 too but there´s too much speculation involved to seriously discuss this;
And as a wildcard I´d like to throw out Berlenbach, who has a seriosu chance KOing Jones.

 

Nice argument, mate, but you should refine your debating skills a bit :good

 

I'd like to say Hagler at MW but the most likely scenario i see is Jones on the run outpointing him.

At LHW Holyfield, Spinks. Technically Patterson could be considered a LHW and i think he'd have Jones' number

 

As much as I like Joe Calzaghe,he would n't have stood a chance against a prime Jones.

 

This is hTH not Resumesatsch









AT LH Spinks,Foster,Charles
At SM NO one
AT MW:think I think Hearns would have a good shot he could pose some problems for Jones if he fought the right fight. HTH i cant think of anyone not even Hagler. He would have to much atheleticsm for Monzon. Dont think RObinson could get him either. Hearns has the best shot stylistically but even then i have to favor Roy.

 

I know. Those are my picks. I don´t think as high of Jones as some of you guys do. He would come up short against many atgs at his weights imo.

 

Last time Holyfield fought at LH was in the olympics. Patterson was a LH when he was an upcoming prospect.

 

Yawn.

 

Im not the biggest fan of ROy but there is no denying his talent.

Your in Denial about RJ.

 

and what?

 

Mw - no one although I'd give the best shot to a fast straight powerpuncher like McClellan

SMW - maybe Charles, no one else

LHW - maybe Charles, maybe Patterson, no one else

 

WTF you mean and what ! Read your post do i have to spell out what you posted.

Why do you include Holy when he never even fought there as a pro
Why do you include Patterson when he fought in the cruiserweight range (Heavyweight then)...........Thats what!!

 

:huh
