Roy Jones vs Clinton Woods WOW jones was awesome

jones before tarver was definitely one of the best ever

 

Clinton Woods went on to prove himself a worthy titlist and world-class operator after this arse-kicking. His trilogy with Glen Johnson is one of the hidden gems of British boxing.

Back then Roy was on another level. This fight was just before he moved up to heavy, look at the difference between how good Jones is here and and how **** he is in Tarver 1. Roy should've retired after Ruiz.

 

roy looked good there. i would have liked to see that roy fight calzaghe

 

I wonder how long RJJ could have gone on till without being beaten if he never ruined his body going up to heavyweight and coming back down again.

 

so the day has finally arrived, that rjj lovers have to talk up clinton woods. wow

 

Probably another 3 or 4 years, and a record of 52-1.

 

Woods was terrible. He was a British level fighter.

 

what does that make johnson then?

 

With all respect to Joe... who is great in his own right. IMO, there's no way he would have beaten Roy in his prime.

 

based on the fight against woods? The same woods that made a 40-year old Tarver look like a juggernaut? We will never know, how a fight between joe and roy would have been unfolded, but please don't make a judgement based on this. joe in his prime pretty much matches roy's handspeed and we have never seen roy having to go up against someone like that.

 

Regularly ripped off

 

You're right, Woods was not much of a test. I'm sure Joe would have made him look just as bad in there if they ever faught.

But don't get me wrong, I'm not basing it on that fight alone.
And I'm not one to say Roy would have wiped the floor with him... I see it as a close fight... maybe even a toss-up... but with the slight edge going to Jones when all was said and done.

Like you say... We'll never know...

 

Any other opinion = don't know **** about boxing
