  • Was Roy Jones better at 160 or 175?

    I think we can all agree 168 was his best weight class but between 160 and 175 where was he better. I say 160 because his combination punching was more fluid and he was faster.

      175 he had the better resume, but he was a much better fighter at 160 due to his physical advantages

        175 was his best weight he didn't have to cut much to get there so it never really hindered his performance I don't think 160 jones could beat 175 jones he matured in style his ring iq was better plus he held every advantage except size and maybe power but his unseen shots was the equalizer for that.

          If he stays at 160, would Jones have been the dominant middleweight instead of Hopkins or would Roy have too much trouble cutting to make that weight?

            He did good at the weight but I used to think he looked small in with some of the light heavies.

              At 160 he was spectacular. I've never seen some one be so fast and hit so hard, before or since.

              Wish he had stayed at the weight for a good lengthy run.

                I thought it was money and big fights not weight that made Jones move up. At first he was chasing Toney and then opportunity.
