    Dirrell isn't the Matrix. RJJ was.

    I don't do bandwagons friend. Someones either good or they are'nt. But most deserve respect. I say most because there is always Andre Dirrells out there!

    vinny paz was at his best at 140. that is not a great win but rather a shocking & disgraceful mismatch.

    Nobody today would have beaten Prime Roy at 168. End thread

    I think Ward would give him a good fight, but ultimately lose.

    Agree with vanargian_guard that there's too much Froch love going on at ESB. The "can he be an ATG" topic is especially bad. 168 RJJ destroys him and the rest of the super six.

    Many of you don't realize, what made Roy chinny, was losing 18 pounds of muscle to make 175 after he moved up to fight Ruiz. Had Roy never moved up to heavyweight, he would have beat the dog sh!t out of Tarver, and Johnson. He would have decisioned Hopkins again, and beat the sh!t out of Calzaghe also.

    It is laughable that someone thinks Carl(block punches with his chin)Froch would even have a chance. Froch is much too slow, and his lack of defense would likely get him KO'd by Jones Jr. Hell, Froch got put on his arse by Jermain Taylor. Roy would have knocked Froch's head into the 5th row.

    None of them are really even competitive, and thats just being honest.

    Froch is good, and ballsy, but would take a one sided ass whuppin against Jones and get stopped. Frochy's trash talk would only **** Roy off, and make Roy give him a pretty vicious beating, while clowning him in the process.

    Ward's ugly ass mauling style might give Roy some difficulty for a few rounds, but come the mid rounds I think Roy has him figured out, and the Son of Goat starts to get picked apart and lit up.

    Johnson is plain and simple too slow for a anywhere near prime Jones, and gets pounded like Merqui Sosa, only lasts longer.

    AA? I wont even discuss this one. Jones could do all his training in the dress room, and still beat the living **** outta AA.

    Dirrell's ***** ass goes into survival mode VERY early against Roy.

    And Kessler is my boy, but he's just far too robotic to compete with a prime Jones.
