roy jones in his prime was so fast he could have avoided hayes shots all night long easy. easy win ud for jones.
I think Haye would need max 2 rounds. Haye's counter right is fast... This fight would be disaster for Roy.
You pick'em fight for me. Maybe a slight edge toward Haye. At CW to HW Roy has two fights that I know of. A win over a MUCH slower than Haye and MUCH lesser puncher than Haye in Ruiz and a loss to Green while far past it. Not much to go on being a favorite, let alone a heavy favorite, but....
Don't even compare this two... Haye is a joke Haye won't reach RJJ's level ever. For me it's difference of two levels at least. Senseless thread
P4P Haye isnt **** compared to jones, but Roy would not have won a fight above 200 pounds against Haye.
Okay but put your Ring magazine down for a minute and let's analyse how the fight would go. It's very conceivable that Haye would land a bomb flush on Roy Jones' wet toilet paper Chin. :deal
Well i took it as prime RJJ vs current Haye. Now Jones will be light and this fight would be illegal but i think he can dance the night away.
roy jones was one of the top 5 fastest fighters to ever lace them up, on the other hand haye is definitely one of the fastest heavyweights and no one can deny that, not as fast as tyson and ali but not far behind, after jones outboxes him for a few rounds haye would only need to corner him with methodical tactics and would sort him out, ala enzo maccreneli. jones started at middle lets not get carried away here. haye wil never acheive what roy has but in a head to head match up there will only be one winner
