roy jones in 88 olympics 154 vs trindad 154

[dino]

who do u guys think would win this match-up...roy has super fast at this point but was unpolished..i can see him outboxing trinidad for a few rounds then getting caught with a punch and dropped...remeber he was 19 then

[Martin (Top Knowledge)]

RJJ would win... And I ain't a Roy fan!

[!! Mr. Soprano]

RJJ Wins Hands Down!

This would have been Trinidad vs. Reid all over. Roy was just a boy, very talented but not well developed. A killer pro against a skilled but amateurish boxer.

Pretty much any Roy beats any Tito. Just way too many dimensions for Trinidad.

This wouldn't be a thing like Tito vs. Reid. Only reason you're making that comparison is b/c Reid was a decorated amateur. Their styles are vastly different. Roy wouldn't be getting hit against Tito, therefore he'd stop Trinidad. He's not only just naturally too big for Tito, but Roy is too fast, too powerful, too elusive, everything, for Trinidad. That's just the way it is.

Zab Judah is my 2nd fav. fighter, but I admit Jones would destroy him no matter what.

too big?..i said roy in 1988 when he was 19...he was small then

[Tarver is my dad]

a 1988 Roy Jones was extremely fast and talented but unpolished. I would see him give Tito a lot of trouble. I am not sure if a 1988 Roy would beat a prime Tito, but it might be a close fight. This thread just tells us how an amateur Roy Jones was that great.

Oh at middleweight LOL , I thought you meant at heavyweight at first. I think I would go with Toney.

C'mon fellas, I like Roy(he's far from perfect though) as a fighter but no ****in way, the Roy of 88 would last the distance with a contemporary Trinidad unless he fought just like DLH did in the second half of his fight with Tito.

He RAN ... and so would an inexperienced, untested, defensive young boy who never learned to like getting the **** knocked out of him!

Naaaw, Roy had the physical tools but he wasn't fighter enough then to handle a punching seek and destroy fighter like Trinidad.

IMHO!
