He would get iced. RJJ cannot compete above 175. He fights any good fighter at cruiser he gets KOed. Even if he was in his prime, he doesnt have the physical strength to keep a guy off him. when he beat Ruiz he beat what is likely the least skilled, most crappy boxer to ever an HW belt.
Roy could've easily handled Byrd too man or any other smallish Heavyweight. To say that a Pre-Tarver Jones couldn't have beaten a top cruiser weight is laughable. Cunningham and Haye are the only two guys that would've had a chance. 42 year old Virgil Hill won the WBA title at cruiser in 2006 and you don't think the guy who KO'd Hill w/ a body shot couldn't compete in that weight class? Epic Fail....atsch
Jean Marc Mormec could take, him, O'Neil Bell could have, Gomez could have also. He would lose to any of the recent champions. Haye included Hill won a bull**** belt that had no merit whatsoever fighting a nobody fighter
Mormeck, Flores, Cunningham, Adamek, these guys would wreck Roy. He's lost all his speed and they hit too hard for the turtle D.
In his prime I'd take gomez and Holyfield over him at 200 lbs. Haye would be a slight underdog IMO. Others would all have a puncher's chance to check his chin, but that's it.
The competition at 200 is bleak according to whom? This isn't the cruiserweight division of the 90's when guys like Imamu Mayfield, Nate Miller, and Uriah Grant were passing around title belts. There are some very capable fighters in this weight class and Roy Jones would have his hands full with just about any of them at this point.
