Roy Jones Jr vs Joe Louis At HW

[boxingbuff]

I believe RJJ would come in at 190lbs,only 10 pounds lighter than Louis.

He would be quicker and sharper at 190lbs,then he was against Ruiz.

Remember,Conn weighed in at 169lbs against Louis, but the promoter kept it a secret,worried it would kill the gate.

Louis never punched unless "both" feet were planted.So you need to keep him turning,keep him moving.....So he couldn't get both feet planted to punch.I believe RJJ could do this,and win a 15 Round decision.Something like 10-5

Sorry, but winning a decision against John Ruiz does not mean you could compete against, nor beat, Arguably the greatest heavyweight of all-time.

Joe Louis was the perfect puncher, his accuracy was fantastic. And you better believe that he'd land on Roy and fairly early.

Joe Louis was a great,great fighter.But all great fighters(Save Sugar Ray)have a weakness.Even some sparring partners noticed the Brown Bomer's weakness of not punching unless "both" of his feet were planted.If you could keep him turning,keep him moving, he couldn't plant both of his feet at the same time to throw his array of punches.Billy Conn did this,who weighed in at 169lbs against Joe Louis.

I believe RJJ could give him angles,keep him turning,moving,while doing the same thing Conn did to Louis.STYLES make fights and a 190lb RJJ would out point the great Joe Louis.

AGAIN,he would keep Louis turning,moving,so he could not plant "both" feet to throw his punches.Joe Louis is a greater fighter than RJJ,but his style would give the brown bomber fits.

his defence was never that great. he always relied more on his chin and toughness.

[Dan...]

Roy wins all of the early rounds before he slows up a bit and Joe gets to him with his precise power combinations.

Prime Roy's chin was a lot better than people give it credit for but there is no way he is standing up to a combination from a prime version of the Bomber.

Louis by KO.

That's just flat out wrong. Robinson was known for his defense. Unfortunately people who's only exposure to Robinson is the last round of the second Turpin fight have been spreading that untruth in recent years.
