at Cruiserweight. Jirov before the Toney fight, Jones before the Ruiz fight. both i'd say would come in around 185-192 this is a good fight of jirov's to watch, one where I think he is in peak shape. [ame]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6sjiu8sILsw[/ame] How does this one go? i can see a lot of varying opinions
Jirov 2 much 4 Roid , at least as big , durable , left handed , quick than Tarver but busier , harder hitting and with a better stamina . Roid did not hit nearly as hard as Michael Moorer did , h2h was much less durable even than Moorer and there4 won't b able 2 withstand what Moorer , Mesi , Orlin Norris or James Toney had 2 endure in order 2 last d distance with Jirov . No way Roid stops Jirov just like he didn't come close 2 stopping Tarver regardless of what PowerPuncher/Nightcrawler/Body Head / Commando / whatever alternative account he'll use 2 reply in this thread . Jirov knocks Roid out .
what about those who say Roy can't be beat anywhere from 160lbs-190lbs or some even say 160lbs-200lbs
"They" say it so they could prove it 2 him in order 2 get interviews :yep and "r" either different accounts of d same person (James Slater i believe) or some clueless dumb teenagers .
How well did Roy take it too the body? I know a 500 year old Trinidad tried and Castro threw a few body shots against Roy...

If this is a Jones who isn't coming down in weight like he was when Tarver and Glen Johnson got lucky then I'd say Roy soundly beats him. Jones was still ****ing fast against Ruiz and at 190 pounds he'd be even quicker. Jirov was a good puncher but not huge enough to trouble Jones who only ever looked chinny once he dropped 20 pounds coming back down from Heavy. Jones is just way too mobile, fast and clever for Jirov and would give him a decent beating but doesnt stop him.
