If Roy Jones Jr Never Left 168.....

[SkillspayBills]

Powerwise, definitely.

Not really. Roy incorporated a good punch with tremendous hand speed. Now if someone punches hard and you see the punch you can brace for the impact but if you don't brace for a punch you don't see than it's all she wrote.

Does a world war II American tank have the same kind of relevant firepower today as it did in the 1940's?? Same **** with Jones, he would have handled Joe Calzaghe in his prime and he already handled a young B-Hop with a broken wrist. A young Roy had the perfect style to pick apart the come forward Calzaghe all night long and knock him out c'mon now, this isn't even an argument worth contending.

[MELLY-MEL...]

i think joe could give roy big problems in a prime 4 prime fight! that being said i would favor roy though!

[Degsy]

it would have been a brilliant fight, the two guys with the best handspeed ever in the division. We all know Joe can take the heavy shots and had a fantastic left (pre injury) but Roy was something very special over a very narrow timeframe. All we need is a time machine and a ****ing big bag of dollars to get them to step into it!!!

[Fox McCloud]

Roy Jones's defense gives him a big advantage.

Roy Jones throwing straight punches gives him a speed advantage.

I think that is why Roy wins.

If Roy Jones didn't leave 168, it would have been "Calzaghe who?"

I think your wrong he would be the only one to give Roy a fight at his prime, I think he would be better known. Surely a three fight rubber between Roy and Joe would be more entertaining than the Tarver fights when he was shot. It would have been a brilliant rivalry and, if anything it would have kept Roy at the weight and at his prime for a lot longer and who would not want to see that - we got robbed of a couple of years of his best cause of his bulking up.

Roy Jones would have beaten him soundly between 1997-2000.

He may well have beaten him, but in my opinion it would have been a little bit closer than you think, but thats ok to differ, it would be a wierd ****ing place if we agreed on everything. They would have certainly brought the best out in one another at 168 IMO
