    Who could beat Roy Jones at middleweight and light-heavyweight?

    I'm starting to wonder how many of the guys who fought at these 2 weights could possibly defeat him. Roy Jones has a chance against anybody and is the most naturally talented boxer I've ever seen, incredible speed, punching power- shame about the chin though. To me it's hard to think of any boxer who could defeat him. I'm not a nuthugger by the way, not a very big fan of Roy Jones, but I'm trying to look at things objectively.

    So who could beat him at these weights and explain how?

      Some of them would have to catch him hard to KO him. Otherwise I don't see a diffirent type of outcome for Jones losing.

        Roy beats everybody. Monzon would be the most competitive.

          Monzon, Hagler, Robinson, possibly Greb...all at 160. At 175, Spinks, Foster, Tunney, Charles, Moore, possibly Greb, Langford, Johnson, Loughran and probably others.

              all these!!!!

              and fulmer, **** tiger, tommy hearns handled boxers... but his legs might not hold up when hurt.


              he was a great athelete but he never beat another great fighter. hopkins was inexperienced and toney is stylisticly is what roy liked...

              a guy that is flat footed and doest pressure peopel theway he should have to beat roy...

              i think he would run away and out point moore though. call me crazy

                hag;er would do it easily cause roy would back straight up into a corner and gett mauled and stopped in less than 3 IMO...

                not that roy wasnt really talented but hagler would be his nightmare

                  I agree, but Monzon is very slow for Roy

                    I agree with this list.

                    And I still to this day think nigel benn or chris eubank would have given RJJ a fight at 160 and maybe even sparked him out.

                    Benn had the power to 1 punch RJJ. Also the G man who whooped roys ass in the AM's could beat him as well.
