A prime Roy would frustate and probably stop Benn later on, didn't vote because Benn is a true warrior with a real pop and there is always the chance of him hurting Roy and taking it into the trenchs and KOing or TKOing him...

40-60 split in favour of Roy Jones Jr.

I said Rjj by ud but it thought the same thing but i think a prime roy would be light enough on his feet and use his evasity too make benn tired throwing shots over and over and missing. roy is a counterpuncher with fast hands so everytime benn threw the big left hook it think jones could pick him off with the jab. wouldnt be suprised if benn got badly cut or bruised, possibly causing a tko but then i thought benns got tremendous heart and i believe refs are less likely to stop a fighter like that because they know theres a chance of a ROCKY moment

Prime Roy Jones is a cut above Nige and im a big Nige fan! Roy Jones in truth tho would be too fast,agile,powerful for him and stop him late on. RJJ KO 9.

[Violent Bob]

RJJ KO 8.

Personally...I think Roy woulda handled him...& I voted KO...but thinking about it...prime for prime...Nigel wouldv'e been able to take his shots & it probably woulda been a UD for Jones instead.

Hopkins took Jones best shots...I have to think that Benn couldv'e.

When's the last time you saw Roy seriously engage with a guy with power? There's no way in hell he'd go in for the kill against Nigel Benn. 90% chance Roy would box his way to a UD, 10% chance Benn catches Roy and KOs him.

This is a prime, Middleweigh, Super Middleweight Roy And Roy didn't hit his prime till Light Heavyweight

I gotta agree with the Sugar Puss on this one, Samson3000.

Toney, Hopkins, Paz, Ruiz, Woods, & many others on Roy's record could crack & Roy engaged basically everyone that he fought...not to mention dominated pretty much everyone in front of him. He only seemed to have trouble after the weight jumping game with Ruiz...as far as him not engaging someone.

I think that it'd be a tuff night for Roy...but I don't...or I can't see him running from Benn.

Again I ask, when's the last time you saw Roy engage with someone with power? Clinton Woods and Vinny Pazienza have power? Don't quite think they're on Benn's level in that department. And Ruiz? Man that's a textbook definition of a boxing lesson, and again, Roy, being way ahead on all scorecards, didn't exactly go in for the kill did he? Toney and Hopkins fights only further prove my point.

Again delusional fans trying to protect their favorites by declaring exactly when they hit their prime

All those fighters had power & knockouts to prove it...I aint saying that theyr'e world beaters...but they weren't straw weight hitters either.

Again...I'm not saying that Roy would have ko's Benn...but if you think that Toney & Hopkins don't have power...you need to re think that one.

[Samson3000]

Benn's power > Toney's power

Benn's power > Hopkin's power

sorry, but that's just a fact man.

[Wacko3205]

Benn's power > Toney's power

Benn's power > Hopkin's power

Benn 35 knockouts
Hopkins 32 knockouts
Toney 43 knockouts

Sorry...those are the facts too...man.

[Samson3000]

Um, Toney also has more than 70 pro fights, and all of Hopkins KOs came as a middleweight. Good night!
