    Damn Roy on top of being one of the best most entertaining fighters of all time is like Nostradamus! Predicting that there will never be another Jones Jr

      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.

        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.

                      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 jones
