Roy Jones vs David Haye

[oakleyno1]

Just want opinions on if Roy Jones fought Haye - both around their peak - it would have meant a cruiser match up as Haye would never make much lower

Jones clearly has the legacy etc that Haye wouldn't touch but I think it would have been an interesting fight given Haye's speed & power.

Now I know i'll get the "but haye struggled again Fragomini etc" - different fighter but I appreciate the point.

Whats the predictions? And how would you see the fight going

Really depends who would feel the power shot first, if Roy intimidates him in first round like Ali did to Foreman, than I would bet on 12 UD, however, I feel Roy did not had that much power in HW obviously, so, in the end, I bet on Haye, because he is a way faster and better boxer than Ruiz

[Primo Carnera]

The problem is that it's ok saying "Close to their peaks", but RJJ's peak was nowhere near CW or HW, Whereas Maybe Haye's was.
All I can say is that the Best ever RJJ was better than the Best ever Haye.

[TitoFan]

Precisely!!!

[ruthless rocco]

Yup

Tough to say, Roy never fought as a cruiserweight anywhere near his best, Haye is definitely a much bigger guy, would have been interesting. I think James Toney would have eaten Hayes lunch, at cruiser or HW

[Spicoli]

Jones wouldn't even travel for a equally formidable and more realistic shot with same division Benn Don't get me wrong Jones had talent alone to catch Haye but Haye was the one to test himself and actually step up division wise. Even though it is taking a decade or something

[Master]

Jones that beat Ruiz was his last great performance and i think he could survive 12 rounds but lose a lop sided decision against a bigger Haye. Only size make Haye the winner.

[Vendettos]

If Haye ever caught him its a KO.

If not Jones probably UD.
