Roy Jones vs these 1930s fighters

I think that Braddock could stop him, but I wouldn't bet on it. Roy was much faster and Jim wouldn't outbox him.

 

I wouldn't bet on it, but he stopped more durable LHW Tommy Loughran, it's not impossible that he would be too powerful for Jones.

 

Sharkey can't even stop me.

 

Fighters back then never saw someone move like a prime RJJ. He’d box there ears off.... I think the fighters he’d have the most trouble with would be guys like Greb who would be on him non stop for every second of the fight or a Stanley Ketchel who was a mean power punching killer. Also Tunney with his movement and great boxing iq might give him some troubles. But I’m not sure they’d be able to catch him either. The old school guys would be dumbfounded by his unorthodox movements and speed.

 

So when oldschool fighters used unorthodox movements and techniques, it's seen as a flaw, but when Roy did it, then it would be too much for them. Sounds fair

 

Jack sharkey lol what an overrated guy. One of the worst hw champions ever knocked out by primo Carnera and shot Dempsey

 

My point being was modern fighters with more modern styles and training couldn’t catch him or deal with the speed what makes you think they would.

 

Some did, Roy wasn't unbeatable or unhittable. He also never fought as good heavyweight as Max Schmeling, who wuld be bigger and just as smart as Roy, with huge power advantage.
