Thread: Who couldve beat Roy

ive ben thinking if Roy jones was put up against any middelweight fighter in the last 40 years who couldve beat him?

Off the top of my head Tommy hearns,Nigel Benn,Julian Jackson.They would all stand a chance coz they could punch and IMO Jones avoided hard punchers all his carrer.


Name me fighter with the reputation of a hard hitter that he fought.i cant think of 1

I think that everyone's a bit too over critical when it comes to Jones...but Jackson & Benn sure as shit weren't journeymen they just took every challenge that came their way...Jones did not...& I'm a pretty big Jones fan.

Because Hagler was known for his glass jaw. Why'd I enter a RJJ topic? Nothing good can come of it....

Nobody could beat Jones in his prime. That's why nobody fuckin did. At 168, there was no one in the history of boxing who could of beat him. Jones at 168 was the perfect fighter

Why is it dumb? Look at the fighters mentioned already that he never faced. To say no one in history could beat RJJ in his prime is just too bold of a statement.
