There is a video on Youtube somewhere of an interview with Roy Jones in a boxing ring where i believe he explains his side of the story. I realise it is just his side so not necessarily true. I'll find the video later if i have time.

I honestly believe prime RJJ would have hurt Benn pretty badly, but then again Benn had as good a chance as most.

Jones avoided Nigel because he knew Nige had an excellent chance of beating him. Jones did same thing with all the legit contenders

Nigel Benn had a punchers chance but 98 times out of a 100 Jones would have won prime for prime.
