"Roy Jones, Jr. was now a world heavyweight champion, Jones failed to meet the WBA-imposed deadline to face Vitali Klitschko, its #1 contender." - Wikipedia.
I seriously would of pissed myself laughing if Roy Jones fought Vitali at heavyweight. This is for all the fan boys of RJJ to say he could of beaten Vitali.
Who wins?
Overrated Jones vs Underrated Vitali.
Size ain't everything. How many times have we watched a fight just to see the smaller guy get blasted and the big punch never came. More times than not the smaller guy is too elusive for the brute and wins on the cards. That's what I see here. Vitali chasing and missing and wrapping up after eating counters.
I didn't read all of the post, but Jones would get touched by Klitschko trying to get inside. Theres like a 10" height difference, Jones would caught by something big eventually.
I don't know if this has been discussed yet, but a fight that was actually confirmed on FNF in '03 was Jones vs. Sanders for unification. I dont know what happened, but that is an intriguing fight. It was close to happening.
-didn't read first page-
If we're talking prime I'd pick Roy by decision. Too elusive and fast for Wlad. I think Roy could have Wlad's jab missing badly and catching him plenty of times with hooks,etc. I don't know if Roy would have enough power to wobble Wlad though.
Obviously know Wlad would take apart Roy.
I think wlad would stop peter in a rematch but I have serious doubts about vitali. the chances of him going through another training camp,,,let alone a 12 round fight without his legs going on him are slim as hell. plus hes going to be rusty and his timing will be off after such a long layoff,,,thats a given. as much as I liked watching vitali fight,,he really should retire instead of dashing our hopes again
agreed. but i doubt he would actually fight without being 100% healed. he said that whenever he was signed to fight Mcline, he felt like he was ready but his doctor said that since he just had sugery, he had to wait a while.
no, first, he wont avenge the lost to Wlad because Wlad is better now and does not get hit as much as he did when they fought the first time. second, Vitali is going to be the mandatory after peter knockes out Maskaev and gets the belt. Vitali is gonna taxt that ass. Mcline exposed his vurlerabilities and Vitali will capitalize on them. It would be Wlad in the first fight only 10 times worse.

If you're not gonna put any of them in your sig I guess it's OK to say I was just joking.
I used to do that all the time on ESB whenever anyone would make some unfair matchup between Jones and the HW's. Gave me a good laugh.
LOL! that was a good one, i thought you was serious until you said that Roy would do the same thing Foreman did to Frazier, then i knew you were joking. lol. :)
i specifically remember wlad landing straight jabs and HUGE right hands... and sam peter looking at him and just shaking his head like... "try again brother"... besides sam peter wants wlad not vitali.. he wants to avenge that loss
wlad wasnt setting down completely on his punches. he wasnt punching through the target as he usually does. manny had him focused soley on the jab and not power. even that left hook that wobbled peter was thrown off one foot. still peter did show a good chin as wlad even throwing at 70% power is still powerful. conditioning was probably the problem in the mccline fight. 250+ is too heavy for peter. I think peter still has a good chin but his punching power is big time overrated

Vitali could wear gloves covered with shards of glass, it wouldn't matter. He's not touching Jones.
shame on you pete...lol:nonono: :nonono: :nonono: im disappointed
The only way Vitali makes it out of the ring is if he never goes into it in the first place.
its a shame that i ran out of space in my sig, you are teasing me because i would love to put these ridiculous quotes in.
uh oh... here comes slick.... your mandatory sig must be replaced by the above line....
even though i agree with him :)
bingo, Sweet Pete, welcome to my sig
Vitali would quit on his stool(as he so liked to do) after the savagery Jones would unleash upon him.
come on pete, i thought you was better than this..lol
