Speed isn't everything. I could show you many fights where the slower fighter won (George Foreman's whole record, basically). Besides, we don't know how fast or powerful Jones would have been without the aid of steriods.

Was RJJ too fast at MW to be beaten by anyone?

Originally posted by SCtrojansbaby View Postpeople on here won't admit it but Roy was too fast at 160, 168, or 175. He beats anyone at least 7/10 and I thin the only guys who would even get 7/10 odds are Monzon and HopkinsLast edited by res; 12-22-2012, 03:20 PM.

Originally posted by fight_professorRealistically, we all know he yo-yo'd his weight and then lost his magic reflexes a touch - exposing his B grade chin. But at 160 until 175 (for a time), he was so ridiculously fast as to make me wonder if he could be beaten. Esp refers to MW where he was super quick.
I know MW is a GREAT division with so much history, but against prime RJJ - who would catch him to beat him, or KO him. I just cant see it. Even GOAT SRR would struggle to catch that RJJ.

Roy fought about 15 pro bouts as a Middle. His best win was probably against Castro who was a veteran fighter on the fade! Roy was fast and on the move as a Middle but he developed into a good fighter after he grew out of the class! He fought light hitters and no one who sustain any pressure. His best weight was 168 to 175!! At 160 I doubt he'd fair well against Hagler, although Hagler would have promblems with Roys speed!
If your going to look at Roy as a Middle you need to remember he was a "green" fighter he wasn't the thinker that he developed into passed the middleweight limit. Ray.
