Nobody.
Dirrell is chinny and looks fragile, Ward didn't impress against Miranda and Jean Pascal is like Roy Jones without the incredible speed: A post-Ruiz Roy.Comment

Yes, Andre Ward. Hey, it's all hypothetical anyway. But a little perspective is needed here. As far as career paths go - along with skill - Ward comes closest. An Olympic gold medalist who took his time stepping up in class when many thought he was moving too slow. A fighter with great talent and work ethic, one who was quite often compared to Jones coming out of the amateurs. Very similar. Do I think he'll be the next Roy? No. But if you ask me who is closest to possibly becoming that, I think it's him.Comment

everyone today is a little roy jones wannabe
david haye
anderson silva
anthony mundine
andre ward
andre dirrell
all fighting with there hands down, not relying too much on the jab and stcking their tongues out
but i'll go and say david haye is the closest, simply because he's got mad speed for a heavyweight and his chin is kinda suspect as is jonesComment
