    and the shot he caught from Tarver wouldve put any1 down. That wasnt a slap, that was a damn good shot.

    **** sake.

    McClellan would get badly badly outboxed. Hurt and stopped from accumulation of punishment.

    McClellan never had the ability to box with Jones, the speed to hit him, the reflex's to avoid Jones's punches.

    Anybody care to tell me how he would hit Jones with the big right if Jones knew, knew that is what McClellan would be aiming for, also Roy takes body shots like they are nothing.

    Please so tell me how he wins.

    :-(

    Jones never was a big fan favorite on this site but man it's gotten even worse with his twilight performances.

    I gotta believe that if ESB was around during the twilight of Sugar Ray Robinson's career you'd be saying that Abraham would beat the living daylights out of a prime SRR.

    I spoke with John Scully about this and he said Roy would have outboxed him fairly easily. that is taking nothing away from the Gman. He was a beast. In Roy though you are fighting one of the greatest p4p fighters ever.

    McClellan beat Jones in the amateurs, so quite why you're so absolute that he wouldn't do so too in the pros I don't know. I think there's quite a good chance he could have beaten Jones.

    :deal

    To say otherwise shows you don't know that he already lost to Gerald, or that you're just too much in love with Roy to admit that anyone could beat him.

    :oops:

    That said, I doubt McClellan wins by decision. I could imagine Jones piling on the points early on but th G-Man catching up with him mid-rounds & eventually stopping him late...

    :bbb

    I dunno you know......no one can really predict this fight no matter what they say.

    We can only assume/guess........mine would be that this fight would be very very close and imo a would put my money on RJJ.

    **** sake ohhhhh he beat him in the am's did he.

    Henry Tillman beat Tyson in the amatuers, would he beat Tyson in the Pro's?

    Why would he beat Jones? Would he catch up to him? Why? For what reason?

    The only thing that McClellan has on Roy is power. That is it.

    no matter wat you say there aint no concrete outcome here. im a roy fan, and if som1 told me that tarver was gona KO him, i would have sed STFU you dont know shii. but look wat happened.
    obviously roy is the favourite here being P4P best and one of the ATG'z. he can outbox mc clellen and KO him in his prime, but at the end of the day Mc Clennen carries a KO punch

    Why catch weight, they fought in the same divisions.

    He does but does that mean that just because he is a bigger puncher he would win? A far better boxer in Toney could hardley lay a glove on Roy.

    There is no reason that Roy would not just have badly outboxed McClellan.
