Jones vs Jirov?

hmm Judging how Roy would do in his prime vs Jirov based on what he did vs Glen Johnson is pretty stupid.

Jones would beat jirov easier than toney and toney beat him very easily. jones isnt as close to his opponents as toney is so that would eliminate jirov ever having a chance to hit him like he did with toney since toney stood right in the pocket the whole time. jones moves around and just lead with left hooks and straight rights which would murder jirov. i say jones tko 7. and yes thats the best jirov ever not the jirov of now who obviously is pretty shitty I talked to a boxing writer who was with the Toney camp after he beat Jirov annd if you think the fight with Jirov was easy you just dont know much. Toney wne thru hell to get that W, it was easily the toughest most grueling fight of his career! Keep in mind that when I talk about Jirov Im talking about a prime undeafeated Jirov, sure he had half the skill as a Roy Jones but to beat Roy later in his career which would have been the case if they fought all you needd to have a shot against him in my mind was heart and relentless pressure, if anything Vassily Jirov would have provided those two things! The only time we have seen Roy face relentless pressure was against the Road Warrior and what did Roy do, he basically quit at the start of the fight.

Those of you who want to see Jirov Vs. Jones fight, replay Gatti Vs. Mayweather! Jirov is a great warrior, but he is way too slow and too awkward for a skilled virtuoso like RJJ.

Jirov has lost 3 of his last 4 and not against great compotion. He had a draw in his last fight against a bum. Jones, by maj dec, not close either.

I don't "think" Roy will win by KO. It's much more likely he will get KO'd than to score a KO vs Tarver who seemingly has a good chin. If Roy wins it'll be by decision. If he gets a KO somehow I think I would have to wait till everyone else leaves the St. Pete Times Forum before I leave because I will have creamed myself. Hey Lightweight, I was just checking out maxboxing fight predictions and there are 3 or 4 guys picking Jones to win by KO. that is the only way I want either guy to win is by KO, no decisions, whoever wins I want them to plant the other guy right on his ass, may the best man win!

Roy would never have had to go through hell like Toney did to win that fight. Toney has about zero foot movement, whereas Roy was all about foot-movement. Jirov is a lot more straight up than Tarver. Roy beat Tarver looking like shit so assuming he fought Jirov with the weight he had vs Ruiz or before Ruiz, Jones would UD Jirov. I agree in part... Jones loved to lay against the ropes in a number of his fights and let guys bang away, he did so in the first fight with Toney T, had he of done this with Jirov he would have paid a bigger price. You assume Jones would have fought Jirov like he did Ruiz, well lets assume he fought like he did against Tarver...if Jones fought Jirov like he did against Tarver in their first fight I see him losing, Jirov was not going to get lazy like AT did. He may have UD Jirov but he would have known he was in a real fight and for the longest time that is all I wanted to see Roy in was a real fight. Hey Superlightweight, you dont honestly think Roy can KO Tarver do you? Forget your heart for a second (I understand heart I have picked the Denver Broncos to win the Super bowl for the last 2 decades)if your boy Roy is to win this fight we are looking at 1 boring ass fight, I know what your heart will say but can your brain agree with that?

Jones put Jirov through contract hell a few years back, making him give in on every concession in the book. Finally Roy approved a contract that his lawyer drew up, Jirov signed on the dotted line, and Roy took the contract and threw it in the trash leaving Jirov high and dry. Roy wanted no part of Jirov, he just wanted to mess with him. Both are so shot now that a fight now is not likely.

I would have put money on Jirov pre toney to beat Roy...(me and my brother used to fight about this one all the time) I would bet that Jones would not or could not take half of the punishment that Toney took to beat Jirov, granted Roy would have moved a lot more but to beat a prime Jirov you had to go thru hell and Toney did. Jones going thru hell...nah

Jirov is still a good fighter after the loss from toney. A fighter inactive for 14 months, and still put a controversial fight. Jones will not be able to hand the granite-chin, who has excellent body punching. Jones is to weak for him. Yeah but he's much faster than him and will just dance circles around him IMHO, if he still has it ofcourse.

if toney didnt ruin jirov, moorer did.... hell of a KO if iam remembering correctly

well i give him a pucnhers chance but thts it

I always wanted to know the outcome of Jones vs Jirov. I read an article that Jirov said jones is avoiding him because of his punching power. Jones would do to jirov what he did to toney and worse b/c after jirovs fight with toney he hasn't been the same fighter.
