Roy Jones Jnr V Gerald McClellan Circa 1994

[ICB]

I love watching McClellan fights. But against Jones I think he gets knocked out. And early. He'll go for the quick knock out and instead be knocked out quick.

Gerald McClellan had a solid chin he took Julian Jackson's shots very well, but his defense was very leaky. And i think RJJ would make Gerald McClellan respect his power within a few rounds.

RJJ hit damn hard at Super Middleweight and even tough come forward fighters, like Merqui Sosa felt RJJ's power in only 1 round. And the difference between Julian Jackson, RJJ.

Is obviously speed and Julian Jackson didn't make Gerald McClellan, pay enough for his leaky defense. Where as RJJ would who is a master at counter punching off the ropes.

McClellan respected Jacksons power. Hell everybody did. He didn't go looking for the quick knock out against Jackson in there first fight. I don't see him respecting Jones power as much as he did Jackson's. And i think that would be his downfall

McClellan would KO Roy... 1 out of 10.

Would have been great but both were pretty tight....tough call.Roy was more seasoned and off of blitzing of respected Thomas Tate,who had went to war with Jackson before McClellan ever got to him....but I have never seen Roy with a warrior mentality,and was always weary of injury in the ring.Gerald would have to muscle him up,and def try to cut him off and pin him,A somewhat green Hopkins gave Roy some probs on ropes that a huge two fisted bomber like McClellan might duplicate early on.I just dont know how much Gerald was learning with blowouts over the Bells and used up Baptists,Jackson fight gave him a taste. I call it 50/50,but dont think McClellan could catch what wouldnt stand with him.

[Taeth]

Roy Jones takes a great body shot, he was so hard to hit cleanly even on the ropes back in his prime, and he was way too fast for McClellan, I think he would have started picking McClellan apart. It was more the defensive gurus that gave Jones problem than guys like Gerald.

Jones would have beat him UD imo. I think he would outbox him and out speed him. It would be a tough fight for him though.

Big difference in their second fight. Jackson goes back to the ropes and G-Man threw a flurry of punches and later on connects with a body blow to finish with a KO win.
