    I think GGG KO's Roy Jones.
    Roy's feet weren't that good, combine that with a glass jaw and it's an obvious result.

    Good footwork will beat GGG, that is why he steers clear of Ward.
    But, I think GGG is the type of fighter that could also give Ward hell.

    It would be a cat and mouse, I can see Golovkin chasing Ward all night without really getting his teeth into him. Whereas I think Roy Jones would be right there for GGG.

    Past prime Roy would get destroyed by ggg, but I don't see prime roy getting caught. Roy's career is interesting. When he fought, he was highly overrated, now that he's done people act like he was garbage. I hated him at his peak but have come to appreciate him now that his time has passed. Point being, he was very good. Ggg would get shutout against a prime Roy.

    RJJ didnt even fight much at middleweight and was a steroid abuser, so why bother

    we do know Roy has a glass jaw, and it wasn't from getting hit a ton when he was younger ... and his athleticism when younger was greatly aided by steroids, so his whole career is phony

    I think prime Roy is way to fast and hits just as hard,a prime Toney would be a great match up also.

    Prime RJJ defeats current GGG, 120-108.

    Prime for prime GGG get's embarrassed like all the rest. Prime Jones was hard to hit, which is why his chin was never checked. If GGG can't connect he can't win. Keep in mind Jones had power as well. I see GGG getting KOd not Roy.

    Wow.. Prime Jones would be right there for GGG?

    You have never seen Roy fight obviously.. He was one of the most elusive fighters ever, he had the foot speed to get in and out landing huge bombs before people knew what hit them.

    The fighter you are describing is not Roy. And you aren't describing Ward very well either.

    It is a stupid comparison really, a fighter that is totally unproven and never beat an elite opponent, vs. a fighter that is proven, beat elite opponents and stepped up out of MW much earlier and took on bigger challenges..

    Roy's chin held up just fine until he got old.


    I have nothing against GGG, but his fans hyping him up like he is some kind of ATG legend killer makes me want to see him exposed He is already what 32?? He better get busy building a legacy. Lets see him pass the first test by stepping up and beating Ward, as Jones went up and beat Toney.

    Hopkins avenged his defeat? You mean the farcical stand off between old man Hopkins and shot-shot-shot-shot-shotty-shot Roy?

    Now we know you can't possibly be serious.
