Sorry welcome first post MR RJ. Listen I dont know where the debate started Ive never heard more talk about holyfiled fighting jones than here, but heres my take from what emanuel steward says in his book from a brief sparring session is that holy actually outboxed roy in brief sparring, he said roy did alot of waiting and hanspeed was not really a factor at 206 pounds, he did say however this was just sparring and keep in mind holyfield is naturally bigger and more muscualr than roy. He also said Roy would actually have a better chance at evander as he put weight on. "Roy is faster than evander at 206 pounds but marginally, holyfield is still quick enough to counter and box with roy, Roy would have a better shot as holy put weight on being that roy cant ko evander and would have to win on points, also holy hits harder its not really a fair comparison but hey you never no. If they fought at heavy or cruizer Jones would probbaly lose, and I think he would have a better shot at holy at a higher weight like steward said
