Could Roy Jones have beaten Valuev?

I felt the same way watching Roy get hammered with looping punches from Glen Johnson, and Calzaghe practically kissing him with Roy unwilling to throw a punch.

That was not the same Roy that fought Ruiz.

 

Who else could Roy have beaten at HW at that time?

 

Yeah I think RJJ could've done it.

 

Quite a few. Though I think Roy could have moved down to CW and picked up a belt.

 

Who in the top 10 at HW?

 

Vitali, Wlad, Lennox, Tua, most likely Corrie Sanders, possibly Chris Byrd. I would have actually favored Roy over the old version of Tyson.

 

as long as those ***** enlargement ads you get in your spam folder aren't forwarded by her, you should be fine

 

He couldn't have beaten Vitali, Wlad, or Lewis.

 

No way, they were just too big for him.

 

No way what?

 

Those three were just way too big, too tall, too strong, too much of a weight advantage.

And unlike Valuev, they were very skilled.

 

Then why did you list their names? atsch

 

My bad, I misread your post..

I thought you were asking who else could have beat Roy at HW.atsch

 

But back to your question..

Byrd would have been a 50-50 fight for me.

I would also like Roy's chances against Sanders if he could somehow make it out of the first half of the fight, but I honestly think Sanders would have attacked him and got him out of there.

I really wouldn't put Roy up against too many big elite HWs with good hand speed and power, as Roy was actually more of a CW for the Ruiz fight.

I do think the Tyson fight he was pushing for would have been a good idea. I think Roy could have beat that Tyson, but I don't think Tyson was in the top 10 then.
