Prime Roy Jones beats every LHW in history

[SplitSecond]

i haven't watched many ATg lightheavy's
but michael spinks and michael moorer would get knocked the **** out

those guys are overrated as ****, also i bet most people are jus mentioning them because they could punch, obviously all you need is a punch to beat roy jones

[The_Demon]

There are very big ATG light heavyweights who would be able to rough Roy up. Now if we were talking middleweights or super middleweights, there is more of a case.

ye i agree with this,some of the best LHWs ever have been big and strong in comparison to jones so to say nobody would beat him defiantly is a bit ****** imo

Spinks was one of the best LHW's ever and the best at a time when the division was arguably at it's deepest. Spinks had it all: Speed, chin, punch, combos everything.

I must say I suspect that you've only seen Spinks getting blitzed by Tyson. Otherwise I find it hard to believe how you can say that he'd be KTFO.

no one never seen anyone fight if they disagree with someone around here

i suspect you've never seen most of spinks fights accept his ones against complete bums?
seriously, awkward style isn't the word, it's weak as ****, he just wasn't that good

Nobody is talking about Micheal Moorer. Spinks on the other hand faced way better comp at 175 than Jones and was big and awkward. Jones had trouble in his first fight with an awkward Montell Griffin. Spinks is more than a half foot taller than Griffin and a much, much better fighter. Jones was also dropped by Lou DeValle who can't even be considered being any where near the class of fighter Spinks was. If you think Spinks is overrated at 175, what would that make Roy? His comp at that weight was terribly weak.

i dont care about the competition, jones has proven he's a force by absolutely annihiliating reggie johnson, montell griffin(who jones only trouble with because of his already SMALL STATURE and then being crouched down ever further) and virgil hill

look at this guy



being tall doesn't help against jones, he can swing up high, and do it very quickly

i doubt spinks even has a chin as good as richard halls

Lmao!! Of course you don't care about the competition. I mean what the hell would that have to do with anything when comparing fighters, right?

Yet Spinks was only ko'd at heavyweight by Tyson and Roy was put to sleep by Tarver and Johnson who probaly wouldn't even crack the top 5 lightheavies Spinks fought.

Am I mistaken or are you the guy who also claimed Roy would beat Ali? Give it a rest already.

No.....just no

I can't speak for the older LHW's but Michael Spinks would get in his a**. And Michael Moorer would as well.

[THE REED]

Jones had all the skills to beat anybody in the history of the division. Unfortunately he didn't possess a chin to complement those skills. This means to me that Jones could not walk through all the lightheavies without taking a loss or two. Jones would be in danger whenever he faced a guys with a sufficient wallop like Spinks, Foster, Charles, Moore etc.

Fact is he didnt get KOed til he was 35, and dropped down two weight classes.

Contrary to popular belief he HAS BEEN HIT in his prime and took the punches fine... By Nard, Toney, Griffin, Mccallum, Hill... they all hit him.

A 230lb John Ruiz hit him with flush right hands consecutively in the first round... HE TOOK THEM.... JUST..... FINE.
