heres my reply
the funny thing is people in roys lower weight class could not catch roy with the jab. but the funny thing is your telling me holmes would.
roy was a speed demon. that was faster in his prime then ali or holmes. i feel ali would have a hugh advantage because i feel he was quick enough to it roy. and would have over powered roy he would be stronger.
but i feel if spinks could beat homles then roy would box his head off.
i feel agaisnt fighters that are brawlers like tyson the roy that moved up to heavy would have been knocked out cold
pound for pound
back to ali vs jones
now if we talk pound for pound roy would have had all the advantages over ali. maybe not chin. but roy in his prime never had problems with chin. think of roy jones a natural heavy weight. he would have tyson power in both hands. his speed would be abit slower maybe as fast as ali. who is not slow by any means. he would be a complete beast.
Uhh your talking about when Holmes was 35 and 36 against Spinks and still should of won both fights hell if your bringing up fighters past there prime what about Tarver vs Jones ?? and to say he would have Tysons power at hw is ridiculous it really is im sorry but you don't know much about history about boxing nor have you watched enough Holmes for a statement like that you made.
yeah the only way roy would have had tyson's power is if he was taking horse steroids....because roy was a natural SMW at best...
