Could he beat Valuev?
And Ill be the first to say... my confidence in Roy at this point, is basically.... well non-existent... His recent interview about going to Heavyweight IMO is a horrible Idea... that is, if he wants to fight guys like Vitali or Wlad... or matter of fact any of the top 10....
I think he could fight, Toney, Holyfield, Valuev... and thats about IT...
I really dont know what there is for Roy to gain at Heavyweight... theres only one title I think he could get, and thats Valuev's title..
His thinking might be, if Im slower now... moving up will give me the speed advantage again... only problem with that thinking is... if you DO get hit... its OVER.
But as far as Valuev... If thats all Evander had to do, to basically beat him.. I think Roy could... I think Roy could definitely dance, if not better for 12 rounds, and throw a few punches a round :lol1:
Whatcha think?!
jones will win with his speed. calzaghe vs vitali is the one i want to see.
I would also love to see this fight. Probably for a different reason to you however.
I guess get the shit beat out of you by Calzaghe is what it takes to be favored against Valuev.
It is more just symbolic of how low ppl rate Valuev. Every boxing fan should really just be praying for one of the top guys at Heavy (preferably one of the Klits) to just destroy him.
I would pick Valuev to win. He may be horrible but he is still enormous and punches hard. Roy doesn't exactly have a great chin, nor good speed or movement at this point. Valuev by KO.
Wow, you've been building up to it for over a year now, but you finally broke down and let it all out.
This is a boxing forum. We don't give a fuck about your personal problems. Don't bring them up. Don't use them as an excuse to act like a cunt. And don't be retarded enough to blame them on someone just because he is a fan of Roy Jones (seriously, WTF?)
Most of the posters on here have experienced loss and unhappiness at some point in time. Yet they don't try and turn a thread into their own personal little whingefest just because someone doesn't rate Valuev too highly.
and there ya go.....
Hes done because a guy who nobody else could beat.. beat him too?
Thats hardly fair when considering the competition here...
I realize Roy looked bad, then again... he was fighting a fast, volume puncher, when he was almost 40...
Valuev on the other hand... well... if you had to name Calzaghes opposite.. it would probably be him.
Take into consideration the competition first.
Im not sitting here saying he can beat the elite... but Valuev is far from that IMO.
You make some very great points. Skills wise and speed he beats Valuev.. But I dunno if he can get over the height and reach.. the Roy that beat Ruiz, certainly beats Valuev..
Valuev would smash Jones and Calzaghe, hes too big. Don't let Evander( who is past his prime but is a great heavyweight who obviously still has something left) fool us into believing that anyone with movement would do what he did.
Holyfield is taller though, which comes into play when you have to jump in the air to land a punch because your opponent is a yeti.
Holyfield also has more fights against big guys. Fighting Lewis, Bowe etc. gives you a lot of experience that helps when you go in against the Abominable Snowman.
Holy is also a lot bigger than Roy. Roy could probably still make 168, and he would have to work hard to put on weight in order to go to heavyweight if he wanted to face Sasquatch.
I think Roy could probably still be competitive with Winky Wright. I dunno, but I think that might be a good fight for him, but he would probably lose. He would have a better chance against Wright than against Neanderthal Man though.
If I was Roy's best friend, I would tell him to fight someone with a decent record but a glass jaw. Let Roy KO some guy in Florida, then ride off into the sunset, rather than fighting Bigfoot.
lmao
yeti, abonimable snowman and bigfoot all mentioned in one post!
you dont even know me? at all?
for you to assume that you do know me... or know what ive been through, is shallow.
Im sorry for your losses... My dad died also.
the guys a true f.ucking cunt, all joking aside. he's saying all that shit and the motherfu.cker doesnt even know you
i can't even imagine what it's like to lose someone close to me
if you're a MTV american pussy than he's a soviet douchebag
i understand and although P4P Valuev is a shit puncher, i think he might hurt Roy.
I know that Valuev looked worse than awful in the Holyfield fight, but people should consider that he may just have had a really bad night. Jones doesn't have nearly the chin that Evander does and it wouldn't take much for a heavyweight to KO him.

you dont even know me? at all?

Valuev is a crap fighter period but he was even worse than usual against Evander, maybe he was unmotivated or knew the fight was fixed, who knows?
Against Roy he'd be up for the fight and would catch him at some stage and stop him. The Roy that beats Ruiz take him to school though.
