Roy Jones vs Evander Holyfield@ HEAVYWEIGHT.

Yes, prime Holy had enough speed and mobility to box with roy and was bigger and strong enough to manhandle his little ass.

Roy needs someone less mobile. Give him a Tua or Oleg, but not a prime Holyfield who would be able to catch him.

 

He didn't do it at heavyweight, and he didn't do it against somebody of Holyfields caliber.

I find it laughable that people would pick a blown up middleweight to be able to contend with a Cruiser that turned into a proven Heavyweight, and was at worse the second best of his generation.

All this based on one fight against John Ruiz, an opponent whose style is taylor made for Jones.

 

Holyfield takes this. Jones would not have been able the type of pressure Holyfield would have brought. Holyfield was also a great in fighter with good boxing skills.

 

Thats the only fight he had at heavy, so thats the only way to accuratly gauge his skills at heavy on.

Buster Douglas was a what? 40 to 1 underdog against Tyson? A crappy one at that if you've watched him any.


And all those guys? HEAVYWEIGHTS.

Holyfield would beat the ****ing snot out of him the moment he stood got his gloves on him. And he would get his gloves on him. Jones has to come within punching range to land his own shots, so when he does so he's in Holyfields range. Are you going to Imply that a Prime Holyfield that went toe to toe with Bowe is gonna become gunshy against Roy Jones? Get the **** outta here.

 

evan fields knocks roid jones out.

 

Tua against JONES?

Cmon man, let's be realistic.. A big mutha****a like Tua would tear Jones a new one. Either way Jones was never a natural heavyweight. He dominated at Middle and Lightheavy. Him going to heavyweight is what ruined him. Go figure

 

Byrd completely befuddled Tua. It's not out of the question that Jones could do it.

If Tua connected, he would probably KO Jones. But it is not unprecendented that he would be completely outboxed.

 

I never said Tua would outbox Jones, that's impossible but Jones would not survive.

As much as I would love to see him go the distance and win, it just cant happen.

 

I am saying that if Byrd could survive, there is a chance that Jones could have. Tua had trouble against guys like that.

 

True but Byrd is a natural heavyweight. Jones isn't

 

Byrd was fighting in the amateurs as a MW and his first fight in the pros was at 169:deal

He has never been a natural HW. No idea why he fights at HW.
