Roy Jones vs Nigel Benn: why didnt this fight happen?

i didnt think it was possible but youve done it

managed to sink both your self and rico even lower, stella job

 

True. But its like I said if you are paying someone 1.5M to fight WHOEVER they choose and they decide to fight c class opponents. Just imagine how much that fighter will then expect to fight someone at least half decent

:rofl:rofl

Ruiz? He had not had a KO in almost 5 YEARS leading up to the Jones fight. Why do you think Jones handpicked him? Ruiz had no power. None.

lol @ prestigious

jones smashes benn all day any day. pretty obvious.

just look at who is regarded higher in history. end post

 

I fully concur, this noob dare addresses two of ESB's best? atschatsch

 

If it were Benn who was an American, and RJJ British, you'd see Benn ranked higher.

Benns resume is much stronger with no cherry picking.

Eubank, Barkley and Gman are greater wins than any of RJJ, and Benn wasn't afraid to fight arond the world.

 

Benn had the power and mindset, but I'm not sure about the skill set. He tended to throw single punches instead of combinations, never really used the jab either. I wouldn't say his use of lateral movement was that good either

I would go with Jones by UD, Malinga was able to outbox Benn I think Jones would of been able to do the same

G-man had no defense, he was too in love with his own power, so he never worked on it. He was a good boxer when he wanted to be though, I think he koes Jones late in the fight.

 

dont matter what country they are from. jones was a better fighter, did more and will go down as a better fighter. jones smashes eubank, mclellan, benn and barkley no rpob. he was the greatest of his time.

 

when Benn lost to Malinga he was completely shot, he also beat Malinga pretty easily earlier in his career, a prime Benn beats RJJ.

RJJ made teh most of tentative fighters and used his speed and footwork to pick them apart, Benn would just come at him non stop, this time of pressure and power would swarm RJJ and ultimately beat him.

RJJ never encountered anyone close to Benns aggression.

 

Fail, Gman already beat RJJ, your post has been nullified.

 

nope never beat him. sorry

 

You just exposed your lack of boxing knowledge too, further nullifying any opinions you have in boxing matters.

 

i feel sorry for those who are that jealous of another mans accomplishments. pretty pathetic.

 

jones was better. its coo i know in your heart you know it
