roy jones in 88 olympics 154 vs trindad 154

RJJ easily just too technically sound for a 1 dimensional fighter like tito

http://www.boxrec.com/boxer_display.php?boxer_id=003254 140, even if Winky is moving up in weight, hes still naturaly bigger. True, the lowest Wright has ever weighed according to boxrec is 147 and was only once, all other fights he has been above 150. The Middleweight increase for Wright will not be a factor!

Curious; what weight did Tito turn pro at?

It's impossible for a 28 year old 154 Trinidad to fight a 19 year old Jones too. Well, I was replying to the original post. You went another way anyway.

Dude, that was impossible. At age 19, Trinidad was 140 pounds. It's impossible for a 28 year old 154 Trinidad to fight a 19 year old Jones too.

Exactly, why not say a 19 year old Jones vs. a 19 year old Tito. Dude, that was impossible. At age 19, Trinidad was 140 pounds.

A prime Tito loses to a prime RJJ at any weight, but not a RJJ fresh out of the Olympics (too young and immature in the ring).

Yop. You can't really compare an amateur vs a professional. It would have probably taken one clean punch from Tito to knock the 19 year old out. Exactly, why not say a 19 year old Jones vs. a 19 year old Tito.

C'mon fellas, I like Roy(he's far from perfect though) as a fighter but no fuckin way, the Roy of 88 would last the distance with a contemporary Trinidad unless he fought just like DLH did in the second half of his fight with Tito. He RAN ... and so would an inexperienced, untested, defensive young boy who never learned to like getting the shit knocked out of him! Naaaw, Roy had the physical tools but he wasn't fighter enough then to handle a punching seek and destroy fighter like Trinidad. IMHO! Yop. You can't really compare an amateur vs a professional.

roy jones by UD......how bout prime toney vs prime trinidad?????? trinidad is my fav. fighter but he gets destroyed by toney Oh at middleweight LOL :D , I thought you meant at heavyweight at first. I think I would go with Toney.

a 1988 Roy Jones was extremely fast and talented but unpolished. I would see him give Tito a lot of trouble. I am not sure if a 1988 Roy would beat a prime Tito, but it might be a close fight. This thread just tells us how an amateur Roy Jones was that great.

Pretty much any Roy beats any Tito. Just way too many dimensions for Trinidad. This wouldn't be a thing like Tito vs. Reid. Only reason you're making that comparison is b/c Reid was a decorated amateur. Their styles are vastly different. Roy wouldn't be getting hit against Tito, therefore he'd stop Trinidad. He's not only just naturally too big for Tito, but Roy is too fast, too powerful, too elusive, everything, for Trinidad. That's just the way it is. Zab Judah is my 2nd fav. fighter, but I admit Jones would destroy him no matter what. too big?..i said roy in 1988 when he was 19...he was small then

This would have been Trinidad vs. Reid all over. Roy was just a boy, very talented but not well developed. A killer pro against a skilled but amateurish boxer.

RJJ Wins Hands Down!
