Jones Jr in his prime was just on another planet. I think he hands Eubank a KO in the late rounds after 2-3 competitive rounds and 4-5 where he took control of things.
I have to agree with nameless, jones jr in his prime was not of human origin, he was boxing in a totally different dimension at the time. I don't think I've ever seen anything like it before. It was special. Jones vs eubank. I love eubank but jones would toy with him.
Easy points win for Jones.
Jones did not like to take risks and nobody knocks out Eubank with one shot!
Jones.
Eubank says as much in his autobiography (A great read), saying that he would rather just take his manatory challengers than face Jones in a fight that he would only have a 10-20% chance of winning (That's Eubank's own, slightly misquoted words).
Not that I need Eubank saying that for me to know Jones would beat him, but when the guy himself says it, its pretty hard to argue.
Not far from what Jones himself did for a while, feed on trumped up mandatorys on HBOs plenty o' money. Jones was a great, he was also human. He psyched out and beat a half wilted Toney, props but every single opponent at 168 came with the exact same face first style, save for Lucas and I'm still trying to figure out what that was. Eubank was not this, far from it. Mentally & physically he had a shot albeit slim but Jones had not faced anything like Eubanks up till then, Toney and a still wet behind the ears Hopkins aside. On paper Jones takes wide 12, just wish he would have swept up fellow champs.
Jones UD ...a shut out!
I wouldn't doubt RJJ could have rocked Eubank and maybe even knocked him down a time or two, but Roy would put it on cruise control and coast to a UD.
.....I bet old Eubank would fancy his chances now though
Jones wins landslide point win with knockdowns
120 - 106
not even close
Jones wins ever round against Eubank and Stops Benn imo
Eubanks could not handle Herol Graham, so prime Jones would bamboozle Eubanks, he could not deal with that style. He had a great chin, that would save him from being KOed but he may have got stopped late on by the fer too. Eubanks did have that punch which he pulled out against Watson, could Roy survive that uppercut, probably not, but he would not get hit.
Eubank sparked Bomber in sparring.
Jones beats Eubank but he's not stopping him. Behave.
Agree with this statement !Quote:

Collins get's owned by Jones. Imo Benn gives Jones the hardest fight in their pomp. Very few gave Benn a chance against DeWitt, but proved he could into the lions den and take the title.
Benn was a bit of an Enigma. Destroyed Barkley in 1 round, excellent against DeWitt, we all know what haappended against McClellan, but then awful against Watson and Malinga for example.Quote:

The possessed Benn that fought McClellan would take some beating, but I still think Jones would take him to pieces
Agree that RJJ no way stop Eubank. He would win every round though imo.
Benn and Eubank is one of my favourite eras in any weight division, but apart from Benn beating McClellan, neither have a truly great name on their resume.
They both lose to McCallum, Toney, Nunn or RJJ imo
Yea Enigma is one word ya could use to describe Benn. The Malinga loss was a real shocker, and to be fair Watson was a fantastic boxer and was beating Eubank before that awful finish. The Benn that fought McClellan would of pushed Jones Jnr, wheather it would of been enough to win.... well thats anyones guess, but im sure we would all agree it would of been one hell of a fight while it lasted ;)Quote:
