Is Andre Ward good enough to have really tested a peak Roy Jones?

The sad thing about Roy is that hes been caught with steroids. That kinda tarnish his whole mr invincible thing.

 

tested yes. have a chance or even win vs prime roy. no, never. roy would have danced around him, getting rarely touched and than go in with fast one two or single punches just winning round by round. no calzaghe, ward and nobody else in the last 15 years would have had a chance vs prime roy between super middle. and lh..

 

Ward does not have the punch to test rjjs brittle chin..

The rest, rjj does better.

 

prime rjj beats him but as with Cal its no easy route, pushed hard all the way.

 

If Bhop, a superior version of Ward couldn't handle Roy in his prime how in the hell can Ward?

 

This

 

No way.

 

He doesn`t get Toneyed but he loses comfortably on points, it takes more than to be a good technician to come close to beating a prime Jones (ask Hopkins)... Jones beats him about 9-3 in a fight that Ward is always in but just can`t get close enough often enough, Jones speed & power are too much for Ward here (maybe I`ll change my mind when Ward`s career is on the decline & we`ve seen all his best stuff but right now I`ll take Jones clearly)

 

He'd give Roy a good match, but not a win

 

You think 93 Hopkins is better then 2012 Ward?

 

Yes.

 

Ward would probably be about as difficult has Hopkins one if not more so

the guy is a rock solid fighter but we havent seen him pushed to a certain extent to know how he may handle certain situations

 

yeah I think to beat roy you need someone who hits like a jackhammer and with speed to the head, relentless. Thats sprobably why some people give Benn a chance.

Ward doesnt do those things.


But does Roy have what it takes t omake Ward look bad? CLose fight.
