    Prime RJJ beats any one any time.

    Not only a win but a KO. RJJ is a once in a few life times talent.

    Dawson.

    Jones needs to retire already.

    Given Roy Jones' problems with southpaws I think that Chad Dawson would win this fight at 175 pretty handily 6-7 times out of 10.

    I think you need to read the question again.

    Yes he is a once a generation kind of talent but the evidence dictates that he has historically had serious problems with southpaws who have reach advantages on him. With that said, I believe a prime RJJ would be an underdog at 175 against Chad Dawson right now.

    Jones would win a clear UD.

    Roy really wasn't a killer at 175, and he'd have enough respect for Dawson's speed and power that he'd be cautious, content to get in and get out, and take a wide decision.

    Yea I know this, I've seen every fight he had a LHW-HW, I'm not hating on Roy was just tryna be an ******* :tong. Here's a thought though, has dawson primed yet? And if so was it in the first Tarver or Second Tarver fight or first Johnson or second Johnson fight or was it when Hopkins was avoiding him, who knows??

    Also smartass since were talking about prime Roy this fight should be about Pavlik, Abraham, or Ward because prime Jones was a MW and a SMW.

    I agree with you completely, BUT I had Mayweather losing against Castillo. I've watched that fight like 7 times and don't see how the hell Floyd won.
