    He was getting hit with good combinations last night, dirrel had success with his left hook think what roy jones would have done.

    Carl might struggle with aa because he would find carls chin with that straight right.
    I think carl froch has the most power out of the 6 with aa second

    Roy Jones is an ATG.

    There is no point at all in comparing exciting fighters in their prime with ATG legends of the past, because they are just never going to come up to scractch (unless they are living legends themselves - Pacquiao, Mayweather).

    Much more pertinent is the fact that Jones would be doing very well to last 5 with Carl Froch right now.

    Very true.

    Out of the punchers in the tournament i would rate Froch behind Abraham and Kessler.

    I agree with that. This is a joke thread. Froch is capable, Jones is a legend

    What a surprise. A legendary 175lb guy with rare athletics would beat a 168lb guy with some pro and some con points. How astonishing. So what ? Dirrell wasn't Roy, and not Mayweather, but tried to impersonate both, falling short.

    So?

    RJJ is the past. Who cares who he would have beaten and who he wouldn't?
