    Obviously Roy would win P4P, but who would win straight up? Let's take the Klitschko of the Byrd re-match against the Jones of the Ruiz fight?

    all these trolling jones vs a huge heavyweight threads are getting old. there's these things called weight classes in boxing. maybe some of you have heard about them. it is funny to think that at the end of 2003, jones was ranked higher than wlad at heavyweight.

    i want to add also that a lot of people give jones **** for not fighting anyone but at this point, he had wins over three other fighters who were ranked in the top 10 lb for lb. pretty impressive.

    it means roy is the better fighter pound for pound. if jones and wlad were the same size, who would you pick?

    these boards are hitting new lows. here's the concept of pound for pound rankings if you care to read.

    When Jones was hw champ he'd have been a mild favourite in this fight.

    I would want to see RJJ at 250lb. On the second thought, no. Seeing Toney at 250 was bad enough.
