Roy Jones

[Curtiz]

Which heavyweights could you seen roy jones taking?

Tyson, Holyfield, Vladimir or Vitali, Ali.......etc?

I'd like to see everyone's thoughts on this ( yes i know hes primarily a middleweight).....

[-PANDA-]

he would beat cliff couser by split decision

[Home town hero]

hes got a punchers chance against wlad.

[MOTHER DUCKER]

Probably none you mentioned, would beat valuev tho even now

The Jones that beat Ruiz would have an even chance against many heavies in history, up till the 60s most heavyweights were around the 190-200 lbs mark and Roy was fast, elusive and powerful that night!

Its more a question of who wouldn't you think Roy would have a chance against? For me the following would certainly be big risks for Jones as a heavy:

Sonny Liston
Muhammad Ali
George Foreman
Larry Holmes
Earnie Shavers
Mike Tyson
Evander Holyfield
Rid**** Bowe
Lennox Lewis
Ike Ibeabuchi
Wlad and Vitali Klitschkco

Roy Jones Vs. Evander would have been a great fight imo.

[Curtiz]

I just wouldn't be sure how much power jones carried up, or how his chin would hold out.

Or could his speed overcome his other weaknesses due to moving up weight.

[Dynamite Kid]

I think Roy would have a good shot at beating Evander.

I could see Jones outspeeding him to win a decision.

Holyfield is not a big puncher, so even though im not saying he couldn't hurt Jones, what i am saying is that if he did fall behind he does not have fight changing power to retrieve the situation, Holyfield relies on laying the ground work then getting you out of there and i think the early rounds would be Roy Jones's because Jones will be fresh early and at his quickest/sharpest, meanwhile i feel Holyfield will take a longer to get warmed up.

Holyfield probably starts favourite because he is a HW, but i think Jones has enough speed and intelligence to get by Evander.

[Joe2608]

If we are talking about a prime Evander then i would pick him, but a little later down the line i would lean towards Roy Jones.

Was just checking out the end of john ruiz fight on HBO, foreman seems to think jones could take Lennox lewis.

Crazy!
