Could Roy Jones have won a world title in his second bout as a pro?

Jones was the once in a lifetime fighter. Maybe the once of all time fighter.

 

And Roy Jones is no Lomachenko, they're very different fighters.

The point remains, not a single person would have said Salido would have beaten Lomachenko had the fight not happened.

They would look at the Martinez fights, Salidos stoppage defeat and conclude Loma would have probably stopped him.

 

Don't make me laugh.

 

Stevenson and Savon didn't compete in 84/88 Olys due to boycott, both won gold hands down at 86 World Ams

 

Papp and Breland were also more dominant. I mean Breland was ****ing 110-1 and 80 Olys were boycotted for US, 82 World Ams gold and something like 50 first-round knockouts. Insane

 

Yes, but Roy had more of just about everything else. Later that year Duran would be handily outboxed by an ageing SRL. Roy would get in and out with pot shots, but hard ones, at will.

 

Don Curry was something like 400-4 and missed Moscow because of the boycott. He'd beaten Davey Moore in the trials. One can only imagine what the likes of him and Breland would achieve if they stayed amateur for more years.

 

I still can't believe Honeyghan did what he did

 

Yes a lot of extenuating circs i reckon. Irregardless he looked good that night did Lloyd.
