In todays area from 154-175 does anyone beat a prime Roy Jones jr?

Definitely at 175. Roy gets his glass jaw shattered by one or more of the big punching wrecking machines there. He'll win some of these fights but not all... Odds are seriously against it.

 

Prime Jones didn't have chin problems.

 

Prime Jones never faced a puncher like Smith

 

Prime Jones Jr. beats all of the guys you mentioned. I LMAO at BJS even being mentioned. Let me laugh some more.

 

Lets not exaggerate Smith here, just because he stopped a middleweight Frenchman, and a washed up Groves. Are you even familiar with who Jones Jr fought in his prime?

 

Jones jr is a glass chin and he boxed 2 good boxers in their physical prime, hopkins and toney. Tarver and hill and joppy are not top notch guys.

Ggg would have beat the **** out of Jones at middleweight.
Ward would have schooled jones.
The others would have a punchers chance.

Jones was a physical specimen with average boxing skills and a bad chin. Very similar to naz.

Great fundamental and tough as nails fighters like ggg and ward would be hell for Jones

 

He didn't fight Joppy you absolute casual

 

Touche` my friend.

 

He faced much harder punchers than Smith

 

Jones never faced Joppy, you moron.

 

In who? Tarver? There's no actual argument he hits harder than Smith
Ruiz? Ruiz was never a big punching Heavyweight. Smith has more snap than him, power is probably on Ruiz's size. But not by much
Toney? Not a much harder puncher if at all.
Old McCallum at 175? A past it hill coming off a loss?

Jones résumé against Punchers is pretty poor. Especially considering he was KOed by the best one he faced.

Where's the evidence Groves was washed up? I had him winning before the stoppage. And other than against Froch his chin has been decent. I'm not saying Smith wins in anyway, Jones was at his absolute best at 168. But he has a Punchers chance.

 

That's one hell of a weekend you've just had my friend.

Joppy?

It's now Monday yet you're still smashed.

Can I come to your next bash?

 

I agree. Roy Jones was one of the smartest boxers I've even seen. Speed and power came from his mind. It would have been very interesting seeing him fight against Mayweather, Canelo or Golovkin.

 

I'm a big fan of Callum, he's a great body puncher.

I'm really hoping that we can see him fight BJS, who's also one of my favourite fighters. I think that Eddie will keep him busy.

Although Callum has got power, he's certainly not regarded as a huge puncher.

I'd say that Tarver was a decent puncher, and Ruiz certainly hit harder than Callum. Yes, he wasn't renowned as being a big punching HW, as he was a spoiler. But he was still a HW. A HW who dropped Holy.

Regarding a H2H fight, giving someone a puchers chance isn't really giving them good odds.

Callum's never seen anyone on Roy's level before. And I agree with those who say that Groves wasn't at his best. I too think he'd faded, and the tragedy with Gutknecht definitely took something out of him.

 

The odds wouldn't have been seriously against it.

The versions of Roy who beat Griffin and Hill etc, would be significant favourites against any current LHW.

Sure, they would have had a punchers chance. But that applies to anybody.
