So who can honestly beat a prime RJJ?

No he didn't!

 

9 out of 10 times nobody!!!!

 

I know i will catch a lot of heat for this but i cant see Monzon beating him!

 

Don't know about 9/10 but Cruiser Haye would have a good chance

 

Hearns could beat Jones. Steward and even Mike McCallum said so.

 

Vada

 

roy was prime in the vinny pazienza fight for me, some will say richard hall. lets say from super middleweight till light heavyweight, who can beat him there?

at super middlweight (the one who destroyed lacy) would have a small chance.

from the dawson fight was so damn well rounded technicly and his punches so crisp and sharp. at light heavyweight, well maybe a young olympian muhammad ali, so a 16-17 year old

weighed about like a light heavyweight.

beat roy in the amateurs, would have had a chance at super middleweight.

those in green are the ones, who would hae the best chance of beaten a prime roy, but ultiamtly, if I had to pick one, lets say I have to put 1 million $ on somebody, from sm too lh, than my money would go each and every time to prime roy over the other boxers.

 

steward also said prince hamed was the best featherweight ever, before the barrera fight, dont believe everything :yep

 

roy was prime at super middleweight and 0 middlweight would stand a chance vs a bigger and natural faster roy jones.

 

I heard Manny once say that Hearn's would have caused him a huge amount of trouble. But at what weight though?

Hearns was way past his absolute peak at 168, where Roy was at his best.

When Roy was young at 160, things may have been different. But take the SRL rematch version of Tommy, or the 175 version, and there's no way he'd have beaten Roy in my opinion.


Mike McCallum was a genius, but his best weight was 154.

If they were both in their peak, Roy would have a huge weight advantage.

 

Spinks and Holyfield

 

Haye at Cruiser. Holyfield at Cruiser, Spinks at LHW.

 

:deal

 

yeah, I mean he beat toney, who was regarded as the king of boxing, so james was a school boy. not a lot of boxers can beat a in shape toney, the way roy did at super middleweight.

 

you better believe foster would be a problem
