    Evander and pretty easily. Check out his record at cruiser, better than anything RRJ ever accomplished at 175lbs. Evander at cruiser was fast, strong, great stamina, and had much better power than he did at heavyweight. Unlike most Roy Jones oppenents, Evander would have made him fight.

    Holyfield runs him over. Very bad match-up for Jones, not to mention the sizeable gulf in class at the weight.

    A better question would have been Roy Jones - Evander Holyfield at LHW, who wins? (Roy Jones does)

    Evander Holyfield was the best CW ever. You might even make a point that he was even better at CW than he was at HW.

    Roy Jones was best at MW, SMW and LHW. He looked good at 193lbs against Ruiz, when technically he was a CW by todays standards. I think Holyfield would have beat him at CW tho.

    P4P, Roy Jones (in his prime) was a much better fighter than Holyfield. Holyfield is just as great though, because of his exceptional career and durability. But Roy Jones was already small for a LHW, and if these two met at CW, the good big man (Holyfield) would beat the good small man (Roy Jones).
