The round Jones dropped him in was not added to the scorecards. Canelo could beat two Griffin's at the same time.
Doubt it. Not at light heavy lol. Have you watched Griffin fight? Watch the Toney first fight.
Roy would put shot Canelo at will from long range. Canelo would have to sell out and take chances in this fight if he stands any chance of winning it.
However, if he does that, then he would leave himself vulnerable, wide open and exposed to Roy's fast counters. The bottom line is Roy is just too fast, too strong and too big for Alvarez at a 168 lbs.
I can tell. You’re one of my favorite posters but I got caught up looool. Peace!
Thank you. I appreciate that. I don't like to be serious all the time, gotta have a bit of fun sometimes. I love RJJ, though I don't like to compare fighters from different eras as we can never know what would have happened, but I guess it's good to imagine.
I can't help myself sometimes. I like to mix a bit of humour in, as well as my more serious posts.

Jones said himself that he never felt better. I take his word for it. Nash out. Official boxing expert. TBE.
I think your trolling is funny but you got me
Hopkins was 2 weight classes above his best weight how was he in his prime…Jones was not on top of his game in 2010 wtf

No. When Roy beat Hopkins, Bernard was in development. Calzaghe beat absolute prime B-Hop in one of the best wins of all time. Jones was still on top of his game when Hopkins beat him. Nash out. Boxing Expert.

Roy was good, although he had no great wins. He's clearly a level below prime Golovkin and prime Canelo. Roy's best wins are an inconsistent James Toney, the same man who lost to Lucas Browne, and Bernard Hopkins when he was pre-prime, not the prime Hopkins Calzaghe beat, and Hopkins beat prime Roy in the rematch.
Griffin also schooled prime Roy before winning by DQ, which people seem to forget! Viva la Mexico. Nash out - boxing expert.
Are you trolling?
lol "Battered by Griffith." Really? First of all Griffith was a very slick boxer, who was frustrating Jones. The fight was close and Griffith was dropped in the ninth round before the DQ and second fight. Griffith was able to challenge Jones because he was a highly technical fighter who could exploit Jones technical idiocyncracies... Canelo is not the same kind of fighter by any means.
The round Jones dropped him in was not added to the scorecards. Canelo could beat two Griffin's at the same time.
Canelo was nothing then compared to now. His power body shots were non existent then, and his overall power is much better, as well as the fine tuning of his ring IQ. His defence has also come on ten fold. RJJ got battered by Griffin, a man not fit to tie Canelo's boots. I had RJJ 8-0 down vs Griffin in their first fight, or how ever many rounds it was, I can't remember. Nash out.

Also, Griffin was a bigger man naturally... So he had size advantages and strength advantages that Canelo would not have... similar to Tarver in this respect.
And finally: When has Canelo ever fought off the back leg like Griffin did?
Yeah... People IMO got it right. Canelo is a great fighter. His problem is that everything he does well gets shut off against Jones. Nobody is countering Jones... Too fast. Nobody is staying in the pocket against Roy with his power and the way he feints off the left hook. Roy's feet are too fast to get in straight against his hooking attack.
Canelo would look like Toney did.
Roy Jones. His style is made to beat someone like Canelos. It would be like the James Toney fight.
I do think some fighters would beat Roy Jones at 168 but it would have to be guys who look to trade with him rather than guys who look to counter.
I mean Canelo struggled heavily against a much smaller old Mayweather. Primarily because he was too slow and Floyd too skilled. Roy and Floyd fight nothing alike. With that said, the struggle would be the same but this time his opponent would have been younger and bigger. Canelo realistically has no chance of winning that fight. Just being honest. That's just a level he probably will never reach.
