Harry Greb vs Roy Jones Jr

I pick Greb by decision.

 

Greb, He was unstoppable.

He would not stop .. ever..... Jones will have incredible moments, but wont be able to outlast the whirling dervish that was Greb.

Greb.... No 1 ATG

 

Greb,....Jones would be wondering what kind of beast he was facing.

 

Greb. Jones wouldnt even get in the ring with him.

 

Completely different level of pressure fighter than Roy had ever seen. He doesn't throw enough to put point Greb, and theres only a minimal, at best, chance of a knockout. Greb on points for me

 

A topic Custom Made for Klompton. I so want to be Devil's Advocate here just to see his reaction.

The best chance I can give Roy is a 5% to catch Greb just right and ice him.

 

FIVE PERCENT!?! WHY YOU SO AND SO!!! JONES WOULDNT EVEN HAVE A .5% CHANCE!!! YOU SHOULD BE BANNED FROM THIS FOR...

j/k

 

Easy win for Roy. With all respect you guys overrate the old legends way too much

 

I know poster's are getting tired of my 'ERAS' comparison but could we alter the thread a bit and title it:
"How would a 1995 Harry Greb do against a 1925 Roy Jones Jr.?"

 

Mismatch; very easy win for Roy. His hand speed and foot speed would kill him.

 

I'll pick an old legend with a deep resume over multiple styles, sizes, etc at the highest level of the sport any day over an overhyped media creation who spent his career ducking the best competition, fighting garbage men, and hiding behind a fat cushy HBO contract. Greb would run his ass out of the ring every day of the week and twice on sunday and thats if Jones would even sign the contract because he showed throughout his career he could find ten million excuses NOT to fight the best but could always come up with reasons why he should fight the hobos his record is littered with. Roy would have to come up with a damn good excuse against Greb though because if Roy tried that 60/40 bull**** Greb would just say "fine, sign your name" and wait for the yellow puddle to form below Roy.

 

Wait, so Jones doesnt get to use steroids, has to fight 15 rounds, and has to make weight with afternoon of the fight? Easy win for Greb.

 

A prediction that is not constrained by a single piece of information from the real world, is a fundamentally silly prediction.

 

Yeah hobos like Hopkins and Toney, right? You don't think Roy challenged himself by moving all the way up to win a HW title? If it's that easy why didn't your man Greb just do that?
