How Would Roy Jones Do Against The ATGs In Their Primes? (No Haters/Huggers Please)

[StarshipTrooper]

I think a phrase once used about another fighter but would fit was he couldn't punch a hole in a pound of butter

The way I always heard it put was "he couldn't break an egg with a hammer"

If he hit a doorbell its doubtful he could make it ring

Conn was far from feather fisted regardless...... He's not Slapsie Maxie. Speaking of which, how he'd do against Maxie is pretty much how he does against Calzaghe prime 4 prime.

Anyways, Jones beats everyone who doesn't knock him out. Problem is, a lot knock him out.

I'd say the chin plays a big factor in this one..

And 4 out of the top 5 would find it, with Tunney being an evens fight..

I think he takes care of the others with Rosenbloom, Stribling and Conn taking him the distance..

I think his physical gifts would have been able to make him competitive against them all, win or lose.

i'd say these two posters above are pretty much right, RJJ's natural gifts of reflexes, speed and power would make the fights competitive up to the very end. roy's never fought anybody on the level of these guys though, they have the skills to test his chin, but if slapsie rosenbloom touches roy's chin, nothing happens
