    If Roy stayed at HW, no way he gets KO'd by Sanders. He outboxes Sanders pretty easily and wins a UD.

    Jones was a Great fighter, maybe even the best of my era, I just dont see him beating Calzaghe at this point in his career, though I will be pulling for him.

    Your assesment of Jones vs. Sanders has nothing to do with why you are the biggest fool of a poster I have ever seen.:deal

    Boxing is a very dangerous sport, it takes balls to do what they do and risk their health everytime they step in the ring. All you do is disrespect and critisize great fighters, like you are some kind of chin doctor.

    In all honesty, you are proabably venting on your own insecurites because you get knocked out everytime your girlfriend ***** slaps you.:lol::lol:

    I don't care how big Ruiz is he has no power and has not KOed anyone of note. That fight was a farce from the beginning. Roy handpicked Ruiz because he saw his mediocre KO record.

    Roy has been iced by two Light Heavyweights one who is feather fisted.

    No way could Roy take Sanders power or speed long before he would end up like he did against Glen Johnson and that was knocked cold for 6 minutes or so.

    Roy has no Chin the evidence is in his 3 knockdows 2 of which were by Southpaws and 2 of which he was out and could not continue. He has a Glass Jaw.

    I think Roy might have went longer with Sanders than Wlad did, But I dont think he would have won, Corrie has speed and power and the ability to take a clean shot, did so for many rounds with Vitali.

    Roy will win rounds but the bigger southpaws speed and power will end it as soon as he touches base with Jones.

    :lol:

    Size and weight doesn't matter in boxing? No way in hell does a former middleweight with a glass jaw, go all the way to heavyweight and win a title without getting knocked out. That alone is plenty of evidence disprove your theory.

    Just because Jones got knocked out when he clearly wasn't his best, doesn't automatically mean he has a glass jaw. Bodies fade over time, especially when you put them through the hell that Roy put his through, I saw Roy's speed and reflexes slowing a bit even before the Ruiz fight. Then to try and drop all that weight in muscle, could certainly lower somebodies punch resistance.

    Besides, Tarver landed a great punch that Roy didn't see coming, Tarver is not feather fisted like you claim.

    Johnson knocked Roy out with punch accumulation, It wasn't any single shot in my opinion but wearing Roy down over 9 rounds, Roy in his own words said going into the 9th round he could hardly stand up he felt to tired.

    It is hardly proof of a glass jaw.:bart

    I have never said Taver is feather fisted only Johnson. Tarver has power but he is not a power puncher. Ruiz has mediocre power for his size like I said going into the Jones fight he had not had a KO in over 3 years. Jones has a Glass Jaw. :dance

    You think Jones' chin was stronger that Wlad's?

    I think he would have beaten Sanders as well. I don't think Sanders was much better than Ruiz if he even was at all.

    The real shame is that Roy didn´t fight Holyfield in a megafight and maybe even eventually Tyson.

    Sanders would've have Ko Jones. Southpaws always cause problems. Even 4 the best. Jones is no exception. B4 everyone talks **** about Sanders u have to know his background. Sept 03 of KO magazine tells it. Waste of talent. Jones would have 2 b offered a lot of $ to think about getting in the ring with some1 of Sanders size and style. A lot of risk would b involved.
