    I think this could be a good fight, it'd be tough for Roy, but in his prime, no-one beats jones

    16-112 jones imo

    I love Roy Jones, he was my boxing hero growing up. Kills me to see what he's doing to himself boxing this long. And while I'll defend Roy Jones to anyone as pound for pound the most superhuman boxer I've ever seen, even I have to honestly admit this fight goes one of two ways. Either Roy gets scared and runs all night and loses basically every round on points (he'd have to run that much to avoid a big right hand the entire night). Or he shows up with guts, gets in and out for a round or 2. Uses that superhuman speed to make Lewis miss a couple of big punches, and basically do what RJ did. But he couldn't have kept that up for 12 rounds. After 2-3 rounds Lewis with the immense size, reach, and power advantage would catch Roy and lights out.

    This thread has to be a joke, nobody could possibly think that Jones could have had any chance against Lewis?! Sad.....................

    Jones had the intangibles, when he was at his peak, jones was unbeatable, by anyone.

    Prine Jones was at 168 and he gets KOed by Lewis with a jab.

    Well, the scorecard is accurate in the event of Jones surviving the full 12. :D

    Wrong, size matters and its not like Roy's skills are that much better than Lewis's.
