People really think Prime Roy could beat Haye of today?

Jones schools Haye for 8 or 9 rds, then haye breaks through and lands one on Roys weak chin and its over. Haye wins by ko though well behind on the cards

one punch KO power like Haye. One of the biggest myths in boxing Even at CW he only has 3 pure 1 punch KO's 1 of them was against Alexsandr Gurov, who'd already been stretched 4 times, the other 2 against bums. He hits hard, don't get me wrong, but nowhere near as hard as the Haye nuthuggers would have you believe, especially at HW

Like Prime Roy would stand there with his glvoes up while his opponent sticks his face into his gloves. Would never happen. Dude... did you HAVE to put that visual back in my head??? Dog On!!!

People really underestimate Haye. Haye is one of the most skilled and fast HW in recent time. Roy wouldnt stand a chance. Sooner or later Haye would land a counter right hand on Roys face I dont see Haye being fast enough to counter Jones. But if Haye threw to the body or just went all out attack he would KO Jones quick. Still see Jones boxing Haye's head off.

Look.. you wont find anyone who sings Roy's praises more than me but Heavyweight vs Haye? gtfo

Well, it's only your opinion, and it's only my opinion, but my opinion has a hell of a lot to back it up, whilst yours doesn't. I cannot even visualise a scenario where a ham-and-egger like Haye would beat a phenomenon like Jones. Unless he just throws a lucky punch with his eyes closed.....like Tarver. What do you have to back it up? A fight in which Haye was TKO'd during his 10th pro fight 7 years ago? That's like saying I know Haye is going to KO Wlad because Corrie Sanders did it 8 years ago. Haye is a very clever fighter. He is very athletic, much bigger, and the harder puncher. Roy could dance around Haye for 12 rounds and win a UD, but I think Haye finds a way to catch him clean and stops him in the later rounds.

LMAO are you kidding me? The Gaye hype is getting out of hand. It wouldn't be a foregone conclusion but of course prime Roy would have a chance to beat Haye, in fact Roy would be the favourite in my view, something like 60-40.

Jones never had a great chin, and against Haye, his superb athleticism which allowed him to avoid being hit, would be somewhat negated by Haye's own athleticism and power. If Jones had a great chin and one punch KO power at HW, then he would be able to hang with Haye, but he doesn't, so I don't see it. Haye's size and power advantages would be too much. Let's be honest, Haye might have a lot of haters, but he has skills and fights clever. Be realistic. We don't know if Jone's had 1 punch KO power as a heavyweight as he fought only 1 time...and won at a walk from a very difficult, several time,high ranking champion, whom most fighters didn't want to fight. He had KO power all his career from his amateur days. Carried it up, as he went up in weight. So why, suddenly. can you decide that he didn't have 1 punch KO power at heavyweight. Of course you can decide what you wish. And what difference whether he had or had not. He could punch an opponent a dozen times, whilst the guy was still trying to hitch up his trunks.

for real dawg?

you said the knockdown occurred mostly because Roy slipped. thats just flat out wrong. He was hurt from the punch and fell solely from that, the look of the fall was the only thing that was changed by the wet floor.

who said i was re-writing history? it was ruled a knockdown, he got punched simple as that. roy looked completely embarrassed that he even fell at that point in the fight. i'm just seeing it differently than you obviously are. but to completely rule out my opinion despite the fact of what was happening all thru out the fight is ludicrous.

roy slipped while moving around like twice without getting hit in the previous rounds, how is it unfathomable that part of what cost that knockdown was a slip? who even falls like that on clean punch? did you not see his legs give out and stiffen up? or his vacant expression after getting hit? its not even a big deal since every great fighter has been hurt at points in their career, but stop trying to rewrite history.

obviously, Roy dominated it apart from that. but to claim that the knockdown was mostly a slip is ludicrous. roy slipped while moving around like twice without getting hit in the previous rounds, how is it unfathomable that part of what cost that knockdown was a slip? who even falls like that on clean punch?

I take everything I said about Haye back. Why? Because he just deleted my comment on Facebook. He asked to name a good bet for the Grand National and I replied - 'Bet on Hayestacks. I heard it's a good runner.' ***** deleted it haha. lmaoooooooooo

did you even watch the whole fight? obviously, Roy dominated it apart from that. but to claim that the knockdown was mostly a slip is ludicrous.

not a chance whatsoever. did you even watch the whole fight?

he got caught with a good shot but most of it was a slip. the ring had been wet from jones' trunks the whole fight. this thread is pointless. PRIME ROY JONES JR. prime... ya'll must've forgot. not a chance whatsoever.
