Roy Jones Jr. vs. 1992 George Foreman

lol...now he has a chance.

 

50/50 fight. All depends if George lands or not. I think Jones COULD get in and out of range and land quick enough to get a decision.

 

Jones wouldnt ever beat the young George but he would make old George look stupid. That doesnt mean George couldnt land a shot, but on paper Roy boxes his ears off. I cant think of an easier fight for Jones to keep in the center of the ring.

 

I think jones has a chance but it's still a long shot imo. Foreman only needs to hit Jones with one good one to have him in trouble.

 

just a good battle there

 

This is what my thoughts were exactly, the last time this thread appeared. Jones can definitely dance circles around Foreman, and wouldn't likely get careless or stupid the way that some guys like Moorer did. I don't see him getting KO'd with a single shot, but I can certainly see him getting into big trouble with one, and if that happens, George isn't letting him off the hook as a barage would soon follow.

 

Roy 12-0

 

Holyfield did'nt war with Foreman.....he knew better.

Holyfield used alot of lateral movement and jabbed and stopped on a dime to quickly throw combinations and move out.......the only time Holyfield went at Foreman was when he would land a telling blow that would shake Big George........

......even with the movement Holyfield was giving Foreman, Foreman was finding to land his fair share of heavy punishing jab......
I cant help but feel that one of those jabs seriously hurts Jones Jr., or even knocks Jones out with one of them.

Holyfield fought prime versions of Bowe and Lewis, and there is no doubt in my mind that Foreman landing on Holyfield was the much heavier jab of the three.


Foreman by jab KO!

.......and I'm dead serious!


Btw, the 70's version of Big George wins by clubbing right hand upside the head......a glancing one at that!

 

Jones has a very good chance in here. He would do what Moorer did but not get lured in. If foreman lands it´s ovah!

 

I remember Jones talking about fighting Holyfield in the mid-late 90s, but he was just talking. It wasn't until 2003/'04 that he really felt confident enough to go to heavyweight, fight John Ruiz, then try to make fights with old shot versions of Tyson and Holyfield.
I remember Jones talking about fighting Lewis but he was just talking.

I dont remember him ever talking about fighting Foreman.

 

Jones loved to talk it, but not necessarily walk it......

......before he made the jump to fight Ruiz, he had contemplated fighting a comebacking Buster Douglas....
.....Jones backed out of that fight, and Buster got knocked out in his next fight.

.....then he talked up a storm about the possibility of fighting Lewis and the Klitchko Bros.....
.....of course, all talk, no walk.

 

Foreman stung Holy a few times in that fight, nobody ever mentions that.

 

Foreman layed back and absorbed not only Moorers punishment, but all previous return-to-the-ring fighters punishment that he faced.. RJJ would do little, if any damage to George. What a comical thread. Ruiz had not the composite ability of Foremans left Jab.. let alone the timing of Foremans sucker Right hand that KO'd a Sth Paw H/W Champion. Moorer wilted.. Holyfield was a tired man after pummeling Foreman.. Very tired.. RJJ would punch himself out in running away from recieving. Foremans timing was not that far off... He's a legendary H/W.. a seasoned PRO... I dont give RJJ a running punchers chance at all. RJJ vs a tired Louis or Frazier perhaps.. Frazier vs RJJ 1975.. Yep.. that would be outstanding .

 

Yes but Holyfield engaged Foreman more than Jones would ever do.
