Ward vs prime Roy Jones Jr. @ 168lbs, what's the verdict?

Roy Jones Jr would find a way to his chin and knock him out no doubt about it, his unpredictability would frustrate Andre Ward all night long.

Only Tarver as crazy as it seems beats a prime Roy; Ward would be competitive but still lose by a good margin

I don't think Ward gets stopped but he loses, some people make Ward out to be absolutely awful. Roy Jones did stop Toney, Gonzalez, Telesco or Johnson. Outside of Toney Ward has a better defense than those fighters. He might lose fairly wide but I struggle to see Ward getting stopped, very tricky Hopkins like fighter.

Ward has enough sheer athleticism to keep up with the absolute freak athleticism of RJJ. I think Ward's patience and form might get him a decision in a very rare RJJ fantasy loss.

Roy in a one sided beating. May take Roy 4-5 rounds to figure him out and really start getting to him. But he would end up stopping Andre if Andre was game. Prime Roy is unbeatable. Probably the only unbeatable fighter.

You can't compete with natural gifts and Jones had those in abundance. Jones was unreal in his ability to not only react but attack with speed and power. But like Rome all things fall and reflexes fail and so went Roy Jones.....

Jones in his prime is a god.

Put it this way, I wouldn't pick anyone over a prime Roy Jones jr.

Ward like Roy Jones is the kind of fighter that comes rarely, but Roy was freakishly talented, too talented.

Prime Jones is unf*ckwithable. Ward is a very good fighter, but Jones was that special level of fighter.

Prime Roy Jones is unbeatable in our collective memory and schools everybody in a fantasy fight today, tomorrow, and forever.

Anything can happen in boxing, but if your talking fantasy matchups, A prime Roy Jones Jr never loses You sure? Try a thread about prime for prime H2H RJJr vs Mayweather... Posted from Boxingscene.com App for Android

Ward could maybe win but my gut says Roy.

I'm a Ward fan but I have a prime RJJ beating damn near anyone you could possible name.

Jones reflexes, speed, angles, power at 168 were ridiculously amazing. There is no way in hell Ward beats that liquid lightning that he was in his prime. Two entirely different levels. At 168, there is no man that beats him, including Calzaghee.

Roy was so good at 168. Got him to win by a clear UD

I've seen a million of these threads and rather than go with the flock, I'll just be honest and go with my gut. Ward wouldn't stand in front of him, waiting to get teed off on. I think Ward is intelligent enough to spoil Roy's game and out point him in a dirty clinch-fest. An ugly win, but a win for Ward. That said, it could easily go to Jones too, especially since Andre isn't very light on his feet, something that gives Roy a big advantage.
