Would he have been competetive against the Klitschkos if he ever remained at HW? Could he have beat Haye at CW and HW level? Prime Jones.
During that time both Klit bro's where trying to win fights/remtaches for each other; trying to get rid of the general label that one had a weak chin and the other was a quitter. There was a tussle in btw where Wlad didn't want Vitali to attend his camps etc. As far as David is concerned he copies Roy's style; he been doing that all his career; a cheap rip off to excite the UK fans and boy how David conned the British public into buying thier fight with Wlad; he must have made millions! And the funny thing is he's doing it again with Chisora. You don't want to bring out the bad RJ.... in his prime Roy was Superman.
i think he timed his entrance to the heavies perfect to beat a couple of fighters perfect for his style. I think Holyfield mainly. He could have beat holyfield and also Tyson. Would have made him a top 5 of all time IMO. He'd lose to Lewis and either K-Bro though.
HW Roy would get beaten and probably KO'd by Haye and would have to be retired on his stool against either brother.
I'm sure Roy wins yet another fantasy match-up for alot of people but he would probably have lost all those fights at those weights and more importantly wouldn't have taken them. I really wish RJJ would have taken on the best in each division it'd be great to find out just how good he should be remembered as.
Jones is a joke. He knew that his Glass Jaw couldn't handle punchers his own size or smaller and he damn sure knew better than to **** with a Klitschko. He had his chance to fight Vitali who was his Mandatory after winning his trinket belt from Ruiz and instead chose to run back to LHW and have his Chin subsequently shattered there. Hell, he would have been brutally KOed by a completely shot Tyson if that fight would have happened.
Bull****. In his Prime he was outstanding at cherrypicking favorable match-ups with bums and Feather Fisted Frauds. He refused to make the best fights happen which leaves his entire career as a "coulda, shoulda, woulda" story for nuthuggers like you.
The Klitschkos and Haye would have shattered Jones' fragile pourcelain mandible with the wind of their punches
So you label me as a nuthugger? When you judge someone it doesn't define the person you're judging; it defines you.
