How do u think RJJ would have went in todays super six tourney if he was in his prime? I think he would of won it with little troubles. Who would of been his toughest fight? Ward? Froch?
Froch would have been his toughest fight because he has the power to gain RJJ respect where as Ward is feather fisted.
I'm going to say Dirrell, just because Roy might have respected his speed and athleticism enough not to jump in and out as much as usual. Froch is just way, way, way too slow to be effective against prime Jones at all. I'm thinking a mercy stoppage after eight if Roy goes for it, although one of his twelve round exhibition decisions is equally likely.
Jones had like 6 fights TOTAL at Super Middleweight. 6. He did not fight anyone like the current crop of Super Middleweights. James Toney was his lone opponent there and the fight was a total stinker where both fighters were afraid to engage. He faced nobody that was a pressure fighter that could punch.
It isnt hard to say that RJJ at his best around 168 was nearly unbeatable. We can debate it all we want, but the man had the blazing speed, confidence and power that really is a problem for anyone at anytime.
