Gerald McClellan vs Roy Jones Jr

Well your detailed analysis of why McClellan beats him is that he scored a win over him in the amateurs and that he'll hit him once and knock him out.

That's sort of stuff is what you see those team elite, chin checker losers post over on general forum.

Jones at middle and super middle looked nothing short of sensational and never lost at either weight and beat better fighters than Gerald ever did and generally dominated everybody he fought. McClellan was a threat for sure but he was a lot more limited in terms of ability in comparison to Jones and Jones should be a deserved favourite if we are talking prime for prime.

If you post a fantasy match up why get pissed off if people see it differently to you anyway? Unless it was an excuse to give this sort of reaction that you were looking for to begin with.

 

Ahh so you were just looking for an excuse to get on an anti-Jones Jnr rant.

Well done for making it so obvious but surely instead of disguising it as a fantasy fight and tricking people into wasting their time by giving you their honest opinion, next time just start a thread titled "Who else on here thinks Roy Jones in an overrated, glass jawed fraud" and then maybe you'll get some people to agree with you.

 

Roy's speed of hand and foot was phenomenal.

We know that IF Gerald had've caught him he'd have gone.

But I can't envisage an early knockout for Gerald at all.

I think if it had've happened, it would have been mid to late rounds, definitely not early.

But I think Roy was just too fast.

 

Because you're assuming GMAN can wing away his shots as if nothing will be coming back at him and if it does it won't affect him. 2 points about this fight are pretty likely:

Jones will land first time and against before McClellan. McClellan will miss and be countered more than ever, Jones will be by far the

As the biggest puncher and most accurate, this would be toughest test of McClellan's chin that he'd ever of faced

McClellan will tire and drop his output after rounds as he usually seemed to

Also assuming Prime Jones is getting KO'd by a single McClellan punch is a bit of a stretch given Jones has prior to his 35th birthday taken punches from big punchers like Tarver and Sosa amongst others. Punch resistance does go down over a boxing career, especially after you've been knocked unconscious.

I didn't say he had a better chin than McClellan, I said he had a better chin than when he was shot at the age of 35 and he wouldn't get sparked by 1 punch, giving examples of him taking big big punches and not being knocked out.

You seemed to think McClellan wouldn't be affected by Jones punches, 1 of the hardest MW punchers of all time, and he could just walk through them to land 1 punch that would get the job done. Bit simplistic, eh?

 

Don't forget Jones his body punches could be brutal :happy

 

I agree that Jones cannot take GMAN's shots, but GMAN was like a tank, efficient and brutal. he wasn' exactly a hurricane in there. Jones is the quickest modern MW (24 hour) in history and GMAN waill never be able to set himself.

I know that people like to see Jones as this fragile man these days but at MW he was a beast. combine his speed/power/timing with GMAN's less than stellar offence and I think you'll find GMAN takes punishment than vice versa here.

I don't think anyone in the history of the divsion would be a favourite to beat MW Jones.

Jones, near shutout or late stoppage.

 

Prime Roy at either 160/165 who beats him really ?? He`d hit Gerald and hurt him too. He could crack at this weight. THAT Jones was special... You`d be dealing with the speed trying to figure out how to get past it, then bam ! He lails you and he could finish when he truly wanted to... No disrespect to McCllelan who could crack, but prime RJJ is a trluy elite fighetr ...

 

Remember , we are talking PRIME Jones,not the faded memory after Ruiz ...

 

Good points. McClellan is criminally overated in some of these matchups. The talent was there but we just didn't see enough of him. Didn't see him overcome any adversity.

 

Doubtful. Jackson was a natural 154lber. Jones at `68 is going to be hitting harder than McCellan.

 

I'm going with Gerald on this one. I can't see Jones avoiding Gerald's bombs consistently round after round.

 

McClellan by balls deep sodomy
