    Martinez vs Roy Jones 10 years ago would be a more entertaining and actually possible fight.

    Stating the obvious are we?

    He did go 50 fights from JMW all the way up to HW then back down to LHW before getting sparked.

    I am glad you are being honest enough to admit not everyone knocks him out, becaue you would have had us all fooled had you not said it.:rofl

    I don't favor anyone in the history of boxing over Roy jones at 160 lbs. not Hopkins, not Monzon, not robinson, not walker,and surely not GGG.

    Roy jones was a fascinating blend of speed, althetisim, elite reflexes and excellent power. Arguably the most athletic boxer in the history of the sport, and one of the toughest outs in H2H matchups. At the lighter weights, he was just insanely good.

    Yeah that's the thing people don't realize about Jones, at 160 he hit as hard as GGG.

    i'm going with GGG, too relentless works like a machine, i'd say he'd get the KO in the end

    Maybe harder as he could knock you out with either hand

    Might look something like Jones vs Toney or Hopkins. Jones had great power for a lightheavyweight and ridiculous speed. GGG is good but wouldn't stand a chance.

    Wlad k is a great glassed jaw fighter. Doesn't mean that anyone can drop him. But ranking him against other savage punchers, there's a great chance that Wlad gets ko'd in those fights.

    Roy was too fast, and GGG is easy to hit.
