who could beat a prime Roy Jones jr????

Good find. Interesting final comment.

Yeah he also said he'd bet a million bucks he'd KO him in the first round. So read into what you will. He didnt come out of the Michael Watson fight looking too great but he still got the win.

At 168? Prime RJJ?
NOBODY. Not some mantra chant, but real walkie talkie.
Prime RJJ at 168?
NOBODY beats him. And it is that clear. Not Calzaghe, on Enzo's shoulders, with Benn's Jerry Curl.

I always favored Marvin Hagler, Gerald McCellan, Ray Robinson and Michael Nunn over Jones at middleweight.

Ehh...no need to read into it. I just read what he said. And that seemed like a more truthful admission than "I bet a million bucks he'd KO him in the first round."

But your last sentence is why there's no way he wins that fight. Watson was an excellent fighter but nowhere near Jones. And Jones at 168 was a monster. What he did to Toney is nothing to scoff at. I have no idea who beats that version of him but it isn't Chris Eubank.

One other person who had a good shot was Frankie Liles who was similar in build to Tarver and an extremely good fighter. In fact, it was Liles who tapped Jones first - a standing eight count in the amateurs.

Did he fight professionally? Oh and this is for the people that hasn't seen a pre Toney Nunn. He was truely a beast at middleweight and this guy that he just blew out was no slouch and didn't even come close to being knocked out by big punchers like Iran Barkely ect. Nunn wasn't even known as a puncher..lol but for his handspeed, beautiful movement and ring intelligence.

Lol you read the last sentence and took it outta context as if he was saying he know he'd lose. Typical of you really.

Styles make fights at the end of the day. Fighter A gave fighter B problems so theres no way fighter B could beat fighter C. You hear this **** all the time. Theres no way Eubank, past it or prime gets knocked out by Tarver or Glen Johnson so does that mean he beats Jones? No not at all.

Its down to opinion. I think Chris would've given him a great fight either way. Its a pity it never happened.
