Poll: Roy Jones Jr vs Sugar Ray Robinson at Middleweight?

Very tough matchup to analyze because there are so many variables.
SRR, while arguably the best fighter p4p in history, is overrated as a MW and admitted after he retired that he was never comfortable fighting at 160. Much of this was due to the fact that he din't begin fighting FT at 160 until he was past his prime but facts are facts and the fact is that he could definitely be had at 160...

RJJ, on the other hand, was IMO a little green at 160 despite being the most physically gifted fighter to ever grace the division with his presence. He had the best reflexes ever bestowed upon a boxer, atg great hand speed, extraordinary agility and...great power by the division's standards. His only weakness at 160 was the fact that he was still pretty green despite his obvious gifts...

While I do believe SRR could and would exploit RJJ's lack of experience(assuming that we are using the version of Roy that actually fought at 160) with feints and that jab of his, I don't think SRR has the length or style to trouble RJJ at 160 bottom line.

RJJ UD all day everyday.

 

Listen, I think SRR is the greatest P4P fighter ever, but Roy Jones is too advanced, is era is too far from Robinson despite Robinson having a huge era leap, Robinson is not 50 years of ahead of his time, maybe 25 years but RJJ is too advanced. RJJ also has faster hands and has the bigger weight. If you look at their pros and cons Jones pros outweighs his cons by a lot. Bad chin but he has lightning fast reflexes, bad fundamentals but if your hands move at the speed of bullets fundamentals just get in the way of being a serious threat. I don't think Jones knocks our Robinson but definitely a UD.
