Would Gennady Golovkin and Marvin Hagler be food for Roy Jones ?

Top post mate, great points. Roy was a fighter who relied whose base was his god given talents. Reflexes, speed, instinct, sheer athleticism. At his peak he might even be the finest example in history. By comparison, late starting technicians like Hopkins and co take years longer to perfect their art. Roy by contrast just blitzed onto the scene. His physical and athletic attributes were other worldly.

I'll go deeper than 95%, I'm not sure there's a guy at 160 I'd favor over him. SRR might match him up best. Having said that it's entirely possible he might lose to guys like Hagler and Monzon, but for me there's every chance he prevails as well. He was a special fighter, even at 160.

 

Not necessarely green, but Roy's prime weight was 168, he was unbeatable at 168 but not at 160.
