    Theres no question RJJ is a better fighter but Haye would be far too big and strong for him.

    haye has speed and power, that's obvious, but no way is RJJ, especially an RJJ in his prime would stand right in front of haye. RJJ was a master of handling bigger, stronger guys in front of him. RJJ by decision. anyways RJJ's prime was at 168 when he beat Toney in the 90's

    I think a big Cruiser like Haye or JC Gomez could have beaten Roy Jones Jr.

    50/50 fight for me due to the size difference and Haye being way faster than a slug like Ruiz.

    1 haye bomb and jones is out for the count. its obsurd to believe that someone as fast as haye isn't going to land one of his bombs. look how jones' toilet paper chin dealt with danny green, he was knocked over by the wind from greens punches.

    haye would brutally ko jones within 2 rounds :deal

    Haye would smash Jones. Not only does Jones have an abysmal Glass Jaw he is scared to death to take a punch. Haye would probably KO him with a feint.

    jones can toy with slow heavies lie Ruiz, but against somelike david haye would be very risky.

    Are we talking about the Jones that fought Ruiz, or the Jones that fought Green.

    Cos Audley Harrison beats the jones that got stopped by Green.

    Anyway either way. Got to go with Haye. Too fast at heavyweight.

    Haye wouldn't touch Jones often enough to drop him. he'd get owned hard
