Did we ever have a thread on Jones Vs Mayweather?

[DaxxKahn]

I could not find it was curious on opps of a primes SMW early LHW version of Roy Jones Vs Floyd Mayweather Jr...Who wins and why....

I go with Roy due to his crazy speed and knockout power he posessed...Not to mention he was a showman in the ring and I think he would actually frustrate Floyd....The first time Floyd fell for one of Roys hands behind the back shots or Cock Fighter impressions it would embaress him enough to fall out of his game....

Other Opps....

If we did this before scrap it

[0james0]

I think there were about 100 thread at the time!

I'd go with exactly the same result as the fight they had, in exactly the same manor.

Jones rocks Floyd but can't finish. Floyd pulls away the longer the fight goes on

I think Mayweather could take this.
Mayweather coped with speed really well in the Judah and Mosley fights by simply switching to a hands up defence.

roy wins easy...mosley and judah neither had one punch kayo power...jones did in his prime both to the head and body...floyd would not survive after roy landed on him...

Now I'm a big Jones fan, so I don't want to take away anything from such a great fighter.
But a counter arguement could be made that Jones did not have the chin of Mosley or the skill set of Judah.

I believe if we go pound for pound Mayweather could handle him.

In saying that lets just see Mayweather Pacquiao for real.

Well said on the Pacquiao Mayweather issue...The other I dont see it.....

Roy was tooo damn fast...He hit too damn hard...he embaressed too many not decent fighters but HOF fighters.....His chin then was not shakey or if it was that as well just adds to the fact he was so good noone even had the chance to test it...

Hopkins, Tate, Toney, Paz, McCallum, Hill all ATG all HOF bound all dangerous when Roy beat them handily......Finished those who he did when he wanted...As far as the skillset of Judah?...Zab has mental breakdowns deciding to buy one or two ply bathroom tissue so the skills are only good when used....I have top go with Roy by KO.....IMO he waits for Floyd to try and counter times him drops him Floyd gets up Roy too quick to allow him to hold and catches him again for the stoppage as Floyd tries to grab on.....If he tries the high defense Roy breaks the body down....

Ask Virgil Hill how hard Roy bangs the body

Zab Judah never had the mental game, and at times FMJ struggled to anticipate the speed, and Shane Mosley whilst still dangerous. Was old and had been inactive for over a year.

Put it this way James Toney used shoulder roll like FMJ, and was also a master counter puncher. Yet he was embarrassed over 12 rounds, FMJ couldn't stand in the pocket vs RJJ, nor could he be the aggressor because RJJ hit too damn hard.

How can you say Mosley doesn't have the p4p power Roy did? He has shown one punch ko power before against Vargas, Mayorga, even Floyd. He also has a way higher ko percentage than Roy does for his career.

Floyd beats Roy handily, maybe its tough early, but he's almost as fast p4p, and he is so much better technically and way harder to hit. Speend and technique almost always beats just speed.

Shane didnt kayo vargas or mayorga with one punch he scored a knockdown then finished them after they got up. Both who were already ruined from kayos suffered at the hands of Oscar and Tito....And you're delusional if you believe Floyd is much harder to hit than Jones was. Floyd has been caught flush by guys with fading speed, some with average speed. The only time anyone says Roy was caught with a clean enough shot to do damage was when he was kayoed or dropped by de valle. Now if it took 15 years to land a flush punch on him that easily translate to him being harder to hit, because the de valle KD was a flash and he wasn't hurt.

And again to the power, RJJ stopped men that have NEVER been stopped, and he did it with one punch or very fast combos. Shane stopped Margarito over 9 rounds. Shane's kayo percentage is higher because he kayoed all but 2 guys at LW..and floyd didnt fight that version of shane.

But I'd rather not go on about this, because youre a floyd fanboy, and everything you say will be viewed as such.So tell yourself I'm a RJJ fanboy and we'll both save a lot of time on this one...

You always hear people lauding the supreme technique of Floyd but rarely do you hear them actually describe it. To me Floyd's greatest and most vital assest isn't his hand speed but his ability to cover distance, land a punch and not be countered. Now Roy shared the same ability except that he was faster and could do it spontaenously from any angle. What makes it even more amazing is the power that he could deliver whilst seemingly not being set. Floyd on the other hand is methodical and needs to be properly prepared. Floyd's defence is superior but in my honest opinion his offence is completey eclipsed by Roy. Anything he can do, the leaping left hooks and lead right hands, check left hooks, counters etc. Roy can do better. I've never been much of a fan of Floyd's actual raw hand speed as much as I am of his footwork, footspeed and ability to time his opponents rhythm and movement to the point where he can potshot and remain unscathed. I can't see him being able to do this against Roy. Floyd's fought some great attacking fighters but none who also had the counter punching skillset of Roy. I think he would be forced to engage and throw more than two punches, a department where I feel Floyd is at his weakest and least comfortable.

As usual in a thread about Floyd Mayweather Jr, if I post ANYTHING I run the risk of being called a racist but I will just post facts....

Floyd HAS been rocked in his prime and rocked hard

Roy Jones Jr in his prime hardly ever lost a single round and its not likely that Floyd would have sparked Roy, he may have touched him up a bit but he wouldn't spark him cold.

RJJ by TKO...because when RJJ wanted to finish someone he did it!

[El Kabong]

We may never know what happens with Floyd when his skills fade. A guy who could drop 3-4 punches on him whilst hurt or 1 big shot that sparks him could be the person that finally beats him...RJJ had exactly those skills and he threw every punch in the book and every single one could hurt you or stop you...hooks, crosses, uppercuts. Floyd has never seen the likes of RJJ's attack.

Roy has coped with Toney and Hopkins and with their defense and wiles they are almost similar to Floyd.
