    Lewis would have seriously smashed Jones. ...It would have been pretty brutal to watch.

    if that had happened, why would he retire? I meen you move up two weights and beat the linear champ (who is roughly 40lbs heavier!). Jones cannot retire now, why the **** would he if he was the biggest draw in boxing?

    Regardless of the outcome which would most likely end up with Roy knocked out a fight with Lewis should have been his last fight.

    Because you might be biased because of his recent performances :lol:

    Taken that he can win from Lewis (I don't believe he can!!)
    But remember, when we all were shrouded in that superman hype curtain, when Jones was "seemingly" indestructible, I guess most experts would rate him on top because he never struggled, never had difficulties... He would be described as talented, unrivaled, "we'll never see the top of his potential"

    I think people would see him as the greatest, he would have beaten two P4P no1 in B-Hop and Toney... then become champ and beating the no1 heavyweight Lewis. I think people would believe he is the greatest...

    But enough fantasy, he blew it by not retiring :D

    Lewis would have probably won and he would have and should have been a big betting favorite. But it's certainly not out of the realm of possibility to suggest that Jones could wins. Lewis looked pedestrian at best in his fights with a past his prime Holyfield who started as a light heavyweight and was only about two inches taller than Jones, at the most.

    Roy Jones is a ATG but not only would he have lost to Lewis, there would be a real danger of him getting seriously hurt.
