Who beats a prime Roy Jones Jr ?

At middleweight: Monzon, Hagler, possibly Robinson.
At. super middleweight: no one.
At. light heavyweight: John Henry Lewis, Ezzard Charles, Archie Moore, Bob Foster, and Michael Spinks.Possibly Victor Galindez and John Conteh.

 

Good stuff, I needed a laugh.

 

Watch film objectively on this guy and you tell me who could deal with his speed, reflexes and power at 160 or 168? THROW RESUMES OUT AND REALLY BREAK DOWN A FIGHT BETWEEN RJJ AND THE GUYS YOU SAY WOULD BEAT HIM...:bart

 

I forot about a prime Michael Nunn but only at MW. Jones whips him at SM or LH as Nunn was nowhere near the same fighter he was at MW

 

Floyd Patterson never fought at LH in his prime. Holyfield at LH? Now your just talking bull****, but then again you always do. Go to Boxing Records and check their weights.

He is one of the only ones who answered my newest thread so ill save the insulting comeback.

 

So, you take the Jones of the Vinnie Paz fight against the Monzon who fought Briscoe the second time and you think Jones would win because he looked great against a never has been?

 

Ezzard Charles.

 

Monzon never fought as good a Middleweight as Jones. What does that prove?

 

No, I'm looking at the matchup objectively(as we all should) and I am LOGICALLY and OBJECTIVELY saying that there is no way that anyone in the history of Boxing could deal with RJJ's relexes and power(in his prime...early to mid 90's) at 160 or 168 despite his lack of "quality" competition. The guy had Mayweather relexes, Camacho-esque hand speed and knockout punching power!!!!!!!!!! Burden of proof anyone...:think

 

Actually your posts on this matter are void of logic and objectivity. You can´t ignore against whome his performances come when judging him. He wouldn´t look as superior against great opposition. In fact he would look inferior against many atgs.

 

no one beats a prime roy ,,no one!!!

 

Monzon fought better mws than Jones was. Benvenuti, Valdes were both better than the Jones who fought at mw.

 

I think you need to watch more Roy Jones if you think these guys beat him in his prime atsch it's one thing to respect old timers but it's another to disregard their obvious limitations.

 

Remember that the thread is asking who would beat him head to head not..."Who rates higher on an ATG list?" The latter would require us to scrutinize records, quality of competition and reign. This thread, by definition, only asks us to examine RJJ's physical attributes and fighting style then decide how these variables(in his prime) would impact his chances in classic matchups. No objective analyst can favor ANYONE over RJJ at 160/168 given his reflexes, hand/foot speed and power.
