    You're not giving a good acct of why these guys would lose to roy.
    As for kessler. His best contest in against calzaghe, and he lost.
    Yeah, and so did roy, but much much worse. You're delusional if you think
    RJJ beats kessler. Only if 2002 comes back around.

    He would beat :
    Ward
    Dirrel
    Taylor

    I cant really say AA and CF but I have them winning by stoppage if they do.

    Kessler is the only one im sure who would win.

    Abraham has the least boxing skills out of all those fighters, he's also shorter in height and he's at a disadvatange with the reach. He would get peppered all night against Jones and that wild **** wouldn't come into play - he would get exposed.

    Ward is too little ... isn't as aggressive as say a Calzaghe (who rarely backed up - if at all) He would get muscled and the jury is out on his chin.

    Dirrell would be competetive and show some athleticism but he's not accustomed to going the full 12 and I think in this fight_experience would come into play. Not the experience they talk about when comparing Froch and Dirrell, but real experience_damn near 20 yrs of it and a good majority of that on the championship level. Jones would stad to be more skilled than Dirrell as well_who would try to use his athleticism.

    Taylor would be game, he posses a problem ... he's athletic ... he's long with his reach ... and he can box a bit better than most give him credit for. I would say he'd fade but it would probably be the same scenario as Taylor vs Jones

    Froch is slower than Jones, less skilled than Jones, and doesn't really pose much of a threat. Unlike Taylor Jones is prepared to go the distance and wouldn't fade. He's also more comfortable with getting a decision win.

    Kessler is getting the benefit of the doubt ... too much out there ... he fought Calzaghe but he hasn't lived up to that fight. He also hasn't been in with a true athletic black american fighter. There is a big difference ... he would have to worrry about being in the ring with someone who's more experienced than he is, who has alot of ring savvy, who isn't concerned with engaging ... and who's comfortable with getting a decision win. He's been blowing out Euro fighters but has yet to step on the scene with US elites

    He's getting too much credit and hasn't lived up to the hype ... he's a good boxer but not to the point to annoint him king of anything.

    None of the guys fit the mold of fighters who beat Jones ... Tarver was long, rangey, played possum, had power in the left hand ... deceptive speed and unorthodox ...

    Calzaghe was fast, aggressive, determined, and unorthodox ...

    Johnson has a good right hand, was relentless, and had a great chin ... he never was intimidated by Jones' name ...

    Alot of these guys looked up to Jones !!
