Yes, in a pound for pound sense, Prince would probably beat Roy. Prince's power at his weight was phenominal, Roy's was good for his weight. The style match up is wrong for Jones. Roy did not have the fundamentals to beat Prince throu attrition. Roy would spring in, as would Hamed, but Hamed would crack the chin of Jones, (in a pound for pound sense).
He'd probably have a better chance than most, due to him being so unorthodox. Forget about the MAB fight, think of Hamed at 122 before he won a title
:-( :roll: atsch And people don't believe me when I tell them Eastsideboxing has gone down the TOILET.......:-(
atsch Your actually comparing 2 guys who's natural weights were 175 and 126:rofl You do know there's a such thing called weight classes right? I can see if maybe you were comparing Prince Naseem to Camacho but your actually comparing him to Jones? P.S. i'm a big Naseem fan but he was NOWHERE NEAR Jones level... AT ALL
You do understand the concept of P4P right?? Put them both in the same weight class, they retain the skills they had at the weight they were in. It's a mythical match up. Hamed's a bad match up for Jones. Hamed would have KO'd him.
Ok same weightclass and retain there skills like you said. Jones STILL murders Hamed Hamed would lunge in off balance drop his hands and get popped, Prince was a big puncher but had bad fundamentals. his Augie Sanchez and Kevin Kelly fights prove that. Jones would be to fast, to strong, to smart, to athletic, to EVERYTHING. In a mythical match up like you say, Hamed still gets stopped:good Compare him to Camacho or someone like that. Jones skill, power, and speed wise would be way to much for him:good
A young Hamed who used to box more would have a small chance of the upset if he could land a few bombs.
The higher the weight, the better the chance for Hamed. If they fight at middleweight with Jones staying the same and Hamed having the same skills, but relative to the division. Hamed's power would be unreal at a higher weight, unmatched at middleweight history. With Jones shakey chin and Hamed's power = KO. I have no doubts Hamed might get dropped a couple of times along the way though.
Hamed is way too short to beat Jones even if they were to fight at the same weight, plus Jones never showed any problems with his chin at middleweight.
P4P Hamed would have the proverbial 'punchers chance' but RJJ was start as favorite. This post is less ridiculous than some are making out. We're talking P4P peeps. If Hamed had been 160 pounds rather than 126.................he'd have had Julian Jackson level power. Enough to KO RJJ.................quite possibly.
