Roy Jones is the greatest middleweight ever.. No one would have beaten him at that weight in his prime. He was a machine!!

here here, to the Marvelous One, the most complete fighter of any generation! The man could box, brawl, jab, hook, uppercut, could fight righty & southpaw, and had a serious beard, simply Marvelous!

Hagler was one of my favorites. Most complete middleweight to ever do it in my opinion. Gave us two of the greatest fights in boxing history with Hearns and Mugabi. He was a monster in the ring.

Hopkins, Leonard, and Hearns could too. I am talking about a prime Hopkins, not the inexperienced one who fought Jones in 1993 and still gave a tough fight.

Hagler would murder Jones. Hagler was a very smart adaptable fighter. If the situation demanded it he could jab just as good as Winky Wright and win that way, just with his right jab alone. Or he could just plain outbox pretty much anybody, he could switch hit, change from southpaw to orthodox stance at will. Plus Hagler if the situation demande it could brawl with absolutely anybody, he could stand toe to toe with Thomas Hearns John the Beast Mugabi. Hagler would murder Jones. He would box him in the early rounds. The early rounds would be a close tactical boxing match, but Hagler would probably score more points with his jab. If Jones started to outbox Hagler(highly unlikely), Hagler would go in brawl mode then, and there is no possible way Jones could withstand going to toe to toe with Hagler. Not even John Mugabi could stand toe to toe with Hagler. Mugabi was 26-0 with 26KO when Hagler fought him, and Hagler outboxed Mugabi but at one point they went toe to toe and Hagler was the one backing Mugabi up. Like Somebody else said, Hagler is the most complete boxer of all time. In every single part of the game A+ quality, he has no weakness. Hagler is easily the best Middleweight ever in my opinion.

Yeah he would murder Jones sure... Thats why he lost to Ray Leonard who came out of retirement.. That Ray Leonard wasnt nearly as fast as Jones at 160 and didnt hit nearly as hard! Roy wouldnt knockout Hagler but he would frustrate the hell out of him on way to a UD!!

Roy Jones Jr is not Ray Leonard. And one of Hagler right Jab's would probably knock roy Jones out, or at least stun enough to follow a right jab up with straight left which would knock Jones out cold with his lacking chin. You get bad Karma for saying Jones could beat Hagler that simply unabideable ******ity. Ray Leonard just ran from Hagler the whole fight and Hagler was not at his most game shape for that fight either. It was a bull**** Split descison win. Hardly a victory. Roy Jones is not even Hagler's league. Hagler is better than Jones in every single way.
