Roy Jones Jr vs Thomas Hearns at supermiddle. Who win this??

[JM1]

roy jones by KO. prime rjj wasnt human

[IMDAZED]

Hearns is great and Roy would have to be carefull about the straight right but eventually he would find his way to land big on Hearns and stop him just like Leonard in their first fight. In this fight Roy is the bigger version of Ray Leonard, just as good speed but more unpredictable and with more power.

Plus, he hit harder. Hearns wouldn't try to KO Roy, he'd try to outbox him and avoid getting KO'ed himself.

Two fo my all time favorites, but its not too fair. Tommy at WW is a true beast and hes no slouch at 168, but Roy at 168 is as close to unbeatable as Ive ever seen.

Tommy got hurt at 147 by Ray and stopped. No this was not due to dehydration, as he was damm nearr stopped in the 6th roung. Jones is bigger faster, stronger, more reach, more awkward.

Guys are you serious????? How can anybody even vote for Hearns?!?!?

Jones at 168 is faster, stronger, and more agile than SRL at 147, this is not a fight, this will end up being a massacre. Jones by KO easily.

At 168, Roy wins.

I don't think you can say that.

When you have a guy with a right hand like Hearns and another guy with as many chin problems as Roy has had, it is by no means ridiculous to say that Tommy stops Jones. I think Jones would win at this weight, but a Hearns KO is still there as a real possibility.

Hearns was 30+ years old when he fought at 168 pounds for the first time. He still had a couple of good performances left in him such the rematch against Leonard and the fight against reigning LHW champ Virgil Hill but he was not the force that he used to be at 147/154 pounds.

I think Hearns has a major chance against Roy at 160. He was more experienced, he had quick handspeed himself, a vicious body attack and a right hand that could knock anybody out.

The way to beat Hearns was always to rough him up and neutralize his power in close, not letting him fire off his long right hands from a distance. Roy never did that.

Poster get too mesmerized by RJ, to a point, where they aren't able to pick against him despite his resume not backing it up?

A past it version of Hearns beat RJ's best win (Virgil Hill) when Hill was undefeated. The question becomes tricky at 168, but I can't see Tommy not being able to tag him with his jab and eventually putting the right on his chin (which I don't think RJ would be able to take).

anybody who says Hearns can beat roy at 168 is a dumb ass, Roy was unbeatable when he fought at 168. Hearns best weight was 154, Hearns wouldn't beat James Toney at 168 either
