Who beats Roy Jones at these weights?

I can't see anybody beating him at 168.

 

Hey, I respect Benn. Great power. But his style....he would have never caught Jones. (Not to mention, Jones has never been hurt at 168 or below or in his prime, all other stuff about his chin is hindsight guessing) would have played right into Jones.

Nunn is the only guy I think who could beat Jones at 168.

 

You have to give both prime (via KO) and peak Calzaghe (via UD) a chance of sorts.

 

Im with Mclovin. WTF?????

 

160...Hagler, Monzon, Greb

168...Greb

175...Charles, Moore, Foster, Spinks, Conn

200...Holyfield

 

I don't think he would beat Jones, I think he has a better chance than anyone else. He is tall with a great jab. He was also a very good boxer and had great technical skills.

 

Ain't no one beating Jones...

Hagler, Robinson, Greb, Monzon, Moore, Spinks, Charles, Foster, Holyfield...

They maybe greater, but no WAY in the blue world would I favour ALL of the above over Roy in a head to head. NO WAY!

 

And I mean ALL of the above. Some could definately win head to head. Spinks and Holyfield being my personal favourite to do it out of those.

 

You think that Jones could beat Holyfield at CW? I mean he is considered the greatest CW of all time for a reason.

 

160 - Ray Leonard

168 - Greb

175 - Michael Spinks

200 - Evander Holyfield

 

What division did SRL beat Hagler genius?atsch

 

I think he COULD. Yeah, definately. Although in all honesty I'd favour Holy (and Spinks, for that matter, too)

If there is a fighter that can compete w/ RJJ in terms of skills it's SRL IMO, he was the only boxer that had tools to beat him in the MW division due to his speed, boxing ability & ring smarts.:yep & Btw Hagler was a big puncher too.

 

At 200 lbs I'd give Holyfield, Mormeck, and JC Gomez the nod over RJJ.

Oneil Bell would be close to 50/50.
