    In a 2010 match. Not in their primes.

    Yeesh. I feel like that's a 50/50 fight. Jones can't take a punch, and Evander can't pull the trigger. I could see Jones potshotting his way to victory, and then Evander finally catching him in the 11th and knocking him out, or Evander just never catching him.

    I guess I'd favor Holyfield by a little just because Jones isn't able to stick to a gameplan, and can get lured into fighting up close or up against the ropes.
     
  4. Holyfield knocks him out in < 60 seconds.

    I voted for Jones, If Holy caught him good he could ko him easily.... I can see Roy outpointing him though, they are both corpses of their old selves though. It could go either way.

    holyfield would smother him... not like stupid azz john ruiz...standing there in the center of the ring marveling at roys speed and eating punches thrown at will

    holyfield would be on him. ....and roys a bit damaged now..

    I like them both.

    Holyfield.
    By a long shot. Roy is just too slow and he can't take a decent punch anymore. at least Holy still has that left hook. He actually won against Valuev in my opinion.
    Roy is washed up..

    Jones could pot shot him and run but Evander would probably hunt Roy down.

    Even this version of Holyfield shatters Roy's fragile Glass Jaw all over the place. Jones can't take a punch and he is scared to take a punch.
