Ray Leonard vs Roy Jones at Middleweight

[Jim_Davis]

Roy by decision.

[phallus]

Jones easily.

Leonard @ 160 is not a force. he beat hagler under very specific circumstances.

Jones @ 160-168 was a beast knocking out people almost at will. Leonard could surely box with him for a while, but he would not be able to hurt Jones, as he was a natural welter and Jones was a natural 168.

SRL "beat" an old hagler... a young roy at 160 is too much for ray leonard, and ray would get beaten to the punch everytime. i remember seeing prime roy KTFO middleweights with a single punch, anyone remember art serwano?
ray leonard has a great chin, roy might not be able to knock him out but wins a UD

Leonard beat an old Hagler, and arguably, he won rounds 1-4 and only flurried at the end of each round that the judges gave him thereafter. In all fairness, Leonard was beyond his prime and his weightclass at that point and proved that he always had the heart of a warrior.

I think that Leonard makes a fight of it, but Jones was freakishly good in his prime. I believe that Roy beats Ray to the punch, and even out-showboats him round after round.

Jones is too big and powerful and beats Leonrd by an easy decision.

that is a ridiculous statement

actually as a middle weight leonard focused alot on his power and lost soe speed to become a hard hitter

if leonard focused on his power to get those results, the previous was even more of a ridiculous statement.

Roy.

I would pick SRL in a p4p matchup though.

you should watch some of his later fights again

you probably need to watch more of both leonard and jones, if you think they have similar power. the notion is ridiculous. leonard only knocked out a dehydrated (Lalonde fighting at the ridiculous catchweight imposed during negotiations) fighter, combining ALL his fights at 160 and above.

Roy Jones, what can i say, he was knocking out people like matches at 160-168.

or can you imagine leonard knocking out virgil hill with a body shot?

[adietheforestfa]

Ray would murder him. Way too fast.
