    **** it. Roy Jones wins a UD. Lewis has the power to put him to sleep if he connects clean but let me make my case. Lewis is taller and with Roy's speed he would more than likely throw some looping shots. He has the hand speed and foot speed to get away with it too. Don't care if Lewis was bigger. Roy could land a shot like the one Rahman landed but faster and he possibly could have hurt Lewis or gained some respect.

    Also with that hand speed he could possibly catch Lewis coming in if Lewis took him light and had no respect for him. You would basically get Roy on his bike and Lewis trying to catch him with a big shot the entire fight. Roy by UD if he doesn't get caught.

    Hey stranger things have happened and Roy would have been throwing punches. Hell it is a fight. Like I said if Lewis lands Roy would more than likely be out. You can't say it isn't possible that Roy couldn't have landed some big quick shots and anyone regardless of size can be hurt.

    Jones speed and reflexes might make Lewis look bad at times but Lewis had the power to put Jones out easilly. If Jones fights smart, can avoid Lewis's jab and wear him down then I'd be tempted to go for him via points - remembering this is the worst possible version of Lewis who was overweight and had stamina issues - but should Lewis catch Jones clean then it would be all over, and Jones would have to avoid getting too close to Lewis because that Lewis-Uppercut would decapitate him.

    Like I said if Lewis lands clean he puts Roy out but with Roy's speed and if he threw something fast and hard he could catch Lewis and you never know.

    lol all I have in my head when thinking of this fight is Annie Lennox singing ''walking on walking on broken glass''.

    Stupid thread.

    Look at Fury v Cunningham, it would be similar but the big guy here would have a lot more skill. Lennox would just walk straight through Roy.

    Jones pot shots his way to a wide UD on all 3 scorecards. Prime Jones was unbeatable. He is superman. Nobody in the History of the sport can beat him. He had too much speed for Lennox.

    Roy would make Lewis look stupid.
    Would still get stopped most likely though.

    If it goes past 7 or 8, Jones wins

    Lewis would be too big and good.

    Although that Jones was something special.

    A tired Lewis that beat the best contender in the world, who is also a legitimate (super) heavyweight, a contender who went on to dominate the division for the next 8 years or so?

    Against a middleweight?

    Lewis by brutal decapitation. And whoever sanctioned the fight to be strung up for organised manslaughter.
