Could anyone in the history of boxing ever beat a prime Roy Jones Jr.?

I would pick Charles,Foster and Spinks to beat him.

 

I liked him best at super middleweight, maybe there.
LHW no

 

I'd make Roy an underdog at 175 against Spinks and Foster.

 

probably nobody, LH you gotta think of Saad Muhamad, Marvin Johnson, Braxton, Foster, Holyfield. Them suckers were good

 

It should. He was a great fighter.

 

:goodbingo. i love rjj and pick no one in history over him at 168 but at 175, these are the 3 to do it.

honourable mention goes to dwight qwai muhammad, gene tunney and harold johnson to give him hell

 

Holyfield never fought at LHW as a pro.

Besides Foster, I think Braxton/Qawi would have the best chances of those guys to beat Jones at LHW. I think he'd give Jones a pretty tough fight.

 

holyfield could have had a chance if he stayed at light heavy but he only had a handful of fights before moving up. too big a frame to make the weight i think.

 

Oh, he was cruiser right?

 

i thought he had 2 or 3 fights at the weight?

 

Yeah...he fought at LHW in the Olympics I think. He had a couple bouts a little bit over 175, then gradually moved his way towards 190, which was the limit at CW then.

You can sort of call it LHW bouts, after all, Spinks-M.Johnson is considered at LHW bout, but he never actually made 175.

 

I thought so and I think he actually fought under 170 a couple times
