Roy Jones would've killed Ray Leonard at Super Middlweight...Fact!

Nobody. He's talking out his ass. Nobody beats Roy from 175 down and at 168 he was absolute Prime.

It'll be interesting to see what names he comes back with. I'm expecting one of them to be Benn.

 

He thinks anyone who could punch would beat Roy.. It just isn't realistic...

The complete glass jawed version nearly made it out of the fight with the hard hitting Lebedev at CW.. It is not out of this world to think the younger faster Jones with a better chin could have avoided the kill shots with some of the savage punchers, or even landed the big shot first.

 

The fact you're even talking about Leonard at 168 as if that's his defining weight class proves you DKSAB.

 

Correct.

The Lebedev fight just highlights that Roy was on another planet to most guys when he was prime.

I recently rewatched the Lebedev fight. I hadn't seen it for a while. That was a 42 year old version of Roy, who'd been inactive for over a year and who'd had a knee injury. Yet up until the end of the fight, it was competitive. And Lebedev is classed as one of the best CW's in the world. And I watched it, and I thought to myself that if that'd been the Ruiz version of Roy in the ring, Roy would have beaten him EASY. It would have been a sparring session to him and nothing more.

 

People seem to think Floyd has always had his boring style.

He was exciting from 130 to 140.

Might be an unpopular opinion, but I think Floyd would be competitive with just about anyone in history at 130-140.

 

I agree 100%:good

 

A lot of the casuals won't have seen him when he was 'Pretty Boy Floyd'


:good

 

The reason I don't get the ****ogy is because it's dumb as hell. Are you seriously trying to imply that Leonard's career should be defined by Supermiddle run? Floyd has campaigned at welter for ELEVEN years, and the majority of his career is defined by that weight class. Come on, son.

 

Floyd at 130-140 was truly a sight to behold.

 

How long was Floyd at 130 and how long has Floyd been fighting at 147? Get back to me with an answer and we can discuss who knows what and who doesnt.

 

My point is Leonard beat far better competition. Its really not rocket science so I cant see how you dont grasp this. I would take Duran, Hearns, Leonard and Hagler to whomp the pretty boy. Benitez could go either way so I wouldnt argue a win for Floyd.
