    Wright wasn`t active enough in that bout, he just kept his hands up and countered to the body here and there, it was like Hearns v Barkley too.

    Canelo would have destroyed Simon in his prime and Roy would be a huge betting undderdog v Canelo, they wouldn`t even be able to sell the fight and Roy would become the oldest man in history to win a world title if he beat Canelo, he looked completely out of shape v Tyson compared to how his body looked v Ruiz.

    I didn`t but I still think CAnelo would have beaten a prime Roy also, his fundamentals are far better despite Roy`s great athleticism.

    Canelo is something special, Roy could be really negative v good counter punchers.

    Will not be that different, Roy Jones fights in a different way vs Small opponents, he might catch a DQ ala Griffin because he was cockier as a young boxer.

    An Old Roy Jones (who is allowed to use the same PEDs as Ginger) will beat Ginger. Unfortunately the boxing biz structure is not strong enough to handle an Old Roy Jones liquidating the big investment in Ginger

    Tyson is natural Heavyweight who beats Roy Jones in 1991, 2001, 2011, 2021

    Ruiz would probably beat Roy Jones today, as older Roy can't deal with bigger opponents

    Canelo is a Welter, Roy Jones Jr. never lost and will never lose to a short Welter!

    There were plenty of lesser fighters that Jones didn`t shut out on the scorecards.

    Canelo went toe to toe with a hard punching middle like GGG.

    Great point, so Roy Jones Jr can't do him like he did Vaca or Vinny Paz

    So...

    Roy Jones UD Canelo
