Roy has a chance for sure.... 91 Holyfield was too good though I think, He would wear Jones down I think, and also Jones would have had a hard time hurting Holyfield...Holy is naturally alot bigger. I would like to think Jones still has a chance.:good
I know Holyfield was on top of his game then, but that was RJ pre- knockout as I like to call it. RJ was superman with boxing gloves. But I kno this woulda been a tough test for him. DIdnt Rj odder him money to fihgt him 7million or somethin like that? IM not sure of the figure so forgive me if it is wrong. But Holyfield turned down that fight for some reason, if the fight was easy as people are making it seem for him. He woulda made an easy check now wouldnt he? Be4 RJ got knocked out people did not want 2 fight him whether you believe it or no, No1 was bale 2 figure out how 2 beat him. That is why I would pick him, when you got skills that can make up 4 a lot. People sayin Rj would get knocked out b/c we seen him get knocked out. If this > was asked right after he fought Ruiz, bet you a lot of people woulda been sayin that RJ has a chance
RJJ would have easily beat Holy in 03 or 04 and I would pick him today but he would be easily KTFO by a prime Holy who in his younger days had both fast hands and fast feet RJJ wouldn't stand a chance against the Holy that fought Bowe in the first 2 bouts or against the Holy who beat Tyson, Holy was to big and strong for RJJ.
Good points Fab, but the 03 or 04 Holy was definently not the beast of the 90's... so if we are talking prime for prime he is just too much for Roy.
Holyfield took Tyson on who was petty damm fast himself soim quite confident Holyfield KO's Roy...even tho Roy's one of my favs.
Most other days too. Evander had his chance at Ruiz and did much more poorly than Roy. Prime Roy would be too difficult for Evander to hit cleanly. UD for Jones.
Hell no. A prime Holyfield stomps on Jones. Jones is as good a Heavyweight as Lennox Lewis and Riddick Bowe? This is off of him beating Ruiz? The same Ruiz that eeked by the Old version Headbutting machine? You guys are smoking some good ****.
A prime Holyfield would knock Jones into next week, one left hook would leave jones looking up at the stars on the canvas, no contest here.
I can't see it. He took bombs off of heavyhanded fighters. Jones is supposed to hit him with something thats going to make him cautious? If anything when he hits Holyfield he'll just push him into a rage. I hate Holyfield, but have to say the guy had balls, and would go after damn near anybody in his prime.
