Hagler vs "Prime" Roy Jones jr

[ИATAS]

lol @ jones or ANYONE beating the **** out of a prime Hagler. That's just ignorant. At best Jones could keep a good distance and out box him. But he surely as hell wouldn't beat the **** out of him.

Agreed. Surely in whatever alternate universe this fight could happen in...jones would have to stay the **** away from hagler the whole fight or take a hell of a beating...

roy would need every ounce of that athletic ability to stay competitive in that bout...there's no basic fundamental boxing that he could turn to nor would that really work...stick and move and avoid exchanges would be his best bet...he might slightly outpoint Hagler but i can see him getting roughed up pretty bad

well we now know at least two posters (picked jones by KO) are severally mentally challenged.

Hagler = possibly the greatest chin boxing has ever seen.

Think about it.

Jones was very close to being in his prime when he fought hopkins and didn't come close to knocking out hopkins. He didn't even beat the **** out of hopkins, it was a semi-close fight with neither fighter landing any really significant punches. How the hell you figure jones would KO hagler?

Damn it, sometimes this site pisses me off.

Jones on points in a fight he'd have to really work to win in!

(Further)

Power:
Tommy hearns > Jones

you people forget what type of beast hagler was???


Jones would be in serious trouble if a couple of those bombs landed. Jones in his prime was never hit that hard.

i changed my mind...i dont think Roy could avoid that for 12 or 15 rounds...lol

[El Chicano]

I agree , and a prime Jones would do the same to Joe .

An old Roy will still embarass Joe the slapper

agreed. It's got to be youth in thinking that Jones or anyone at 160 would have stopped Hagler. The man took flush bombs from Hearns for 2+ rounds and it didn't stop him. Mugabi, Caveman Lee, Roldan (the knockdown looked more like a slip than anything) all couldn't stop Hagler and those guys could flat out crack.

I could see Jones pot shotting from the outside but somewhere down the line Hagler's work would slow Roy down a bit. Its that point where we would see if Jones could do this over 12 to a guy like Hagler who would just keep coming and unlike a face first brawler who would give more angles and cut off the ring with his footwork.

it's not a given Jones wins this at all.

They're using SRL as an example, nothing wrong with that....but as we all know, that isn't a prime Hagler. John Mujabi and Thomas Hearns 2 fighters that have more power then RJJ couldn't stop him. No insult to SRL but if Leonard would have faced the Hagler Thomas Hearns faced then SRL would have gone bye bye early.
