If Roy Jones was prime..How would he fair right now?

Jones would probably be favored over everyone from 160-200 but I would still be interested in seeing him against the winner of Ward-Froch.

If only we could rewind time

If he was the same RJJ that went to HW a few years back, he'd be LHW champ and could beat a few HW's..not the K-bros. Match RJJ with Kimbo, lol If he were a prime SMW, he would beat them all If he were a prime middleweight....he could maybe beat Martinez but I think Martinez would clock him a few too many times and his glass chin would give out. LMFAO you dont have a clue! And the other prick that said Haye would beat me! Ahahahaha! You silly fools. Me in my prime would destroy all bar the Klitchsko brothers from Middleweight upto Heavy!! Ya'll mutha****ers must have forgot!!

Sticky worthy thread lol you wont do it

In his prime Roy was the greatest fighter that I ever saw fight live,(on hbo). 1 punch stopped him from being top 3 atg IMO.

I'd stop Roy in his Prime. Sage KO1 over RJJr :boxing:

Ya'll must've forgot sons, he'd beat everyone from middleweight to light heavy and make hopkins/dawson his *****es

I think it's not retiring after Tarver I. At that point he WON... but was clearly done. Beating tarver COMPLETED the last step of matching what Bob Fitzsimmons did 100 years prior. Regaining the LHW championship AFTER WINNING a HW strap was a huge notch on the belt, and Bob did it as well... Roy needed to do it. He shouldn't of rematched him.. But really what's worse.... being knocked out in the rematch... or being forever remembered as the person who "ducked" the rematch. **** it... he manned up. He had to come back down and fight Tarver. I know many believe he should have stayed at heavyweight, but coming back down and gutting his way through that first Tarver fight made a lot of people who wrongly thought he didn't have that heart stand up and admit they were wrong. There were more than a few people who had a whole new respect for RJ after that fight. He did man up, but it's not like Tarver had a case for winning the first fight. He lost, and if Roy didn't fight him again, I would have completely supported it. He didn't have anything to prove to Antonio Tarver.

murders the entire LHW division, including Hopkins wonder if Hopkins would take 40-60 for prime Roy currently :laugh:

Even as far as Roy has gone to destroy his legacy in the past few years, it will never erase the sheer awesomeness that defined his career during his prime. RJJ should have left after that fight but he didn't....it's just good that people remember him for what he was...a guy that was at one time, the most gifted athlete on the planet.

Roy would beat everyone from middleweight to heavyweight except Vitali Klitschko. I can see Roy taking the risk against the glass chinned Wladimir and using his speed to get under the jab or around the jab and landing a bomb on him and leaving him hurt on the canvas and then taking advantage of Wlads psyche when he is hurt. Vitali is too tough and has a good chin so he doesnt beat him. Calzaghe gets KO'd in that round that Jones dropped him in. Haye gets sparked out too by something hes never faced, a faster more accurate fighter. Roy was special, really special. He could have been the GOAT if he stayed at heavyweight and beat Tyson, Holyfield, and tried to take on Lewis but I think the size difference would have been way too much but damn he would have gotten all the credit in the world for trying!

Please don't disrespect RJJ off of what you've been seeing these past few years...HE WAS A FUGGIN PROBLEM!!! YALL MUSTA FORGOT!!!

I'd say he'd have EVERY belt at light heavy and would be able to move up to heavyweight and beat Povetkin right now He would FARE very well, and I agree with you.

Roy would be in god mode in today's boxing realm.

hed be #1 p4p. thats like asking if prime ali would still rule today. quit the drugs bro

The biggest mistake maybe in boxing history was Roy not staying at heavyweight. He should have fought (and beat) Byrd, then took on Lewis. Sure, Lewis would have KO'd him, but my God, that would have been big. I think it's not retiring after Tarver I. At that point he WON... but was clearly done.

IMO haye has a punchers chance.... if it goes to a decision I've got Roy by UD. He's not quicker, he can't counter better, he doesn't have better slipping ability, he doesn't maintain distance better... he's not smarter in the ring period... If Haye doesn't knock him out, Roy wins.

160 -beats Martinez, Strum, Priog, Williams, Pavlik, Abraham. 168 - beats Froch, Kessler, Bute, Dirrells, Ward. 175 - Hopkins, Chad, Cloud Cruiser - anyone HW - anyone not named David haye or the klitschos prime jones whoops Any david haye

I'd say he'd have EVERY belt at light heavy and would be able to move up to heavyweight and beat Povetkin right now Pretty much....
