Roy would have destroyed Nigel Benn with ease. Eubank was clearly downhill and Collins is a bum. He was nothing, never at Roy Jones Jr level. Everyone just takes shots at Jones and try to discredit him, stop the roy jones hating and just realize how great he really was.

ok we have 3 fighters saying roy jones ducked them,
EVERYONE wanted roy jones so the list could be much longer forever... he was the only thing coming close to a money cow from 160 to 175 for like 10 years
Benn
wanted to fight roy jones at his "NEW WEIGHT", bs weighin in at 163-164 for 3 fights does not mean you are a full fledged 168 fighter, and in fact jones had no trouble making 160 for hopkins
Eubank
read the fix post
steve collins...
come on...
as for jones losing his last 2 fights at 35... after 15 years in which he lost like 20 rounds total...
you really don't know **** about boxing if you think that age does not matter for a fighter who relies on speed and reflexes and is fighting above his natural weightComment

this thread is a joke...go on ahead and move this to page 12 or something..blahComment

just being honest here,i know jones is one of the best american fighters in the past 30 years,however,
if he would've fought nigel benn,he would've los
benn not only punched twice as hard as roy but also had more of a warrior instinctLast edited by Slipx; 05-30-2005, 01:11 PM.Comment

Roy at 168 loses to no one watch a few of his fights there. He beat lots of very good fighters but was always looking for the most money with less risk this is true but he made Viril Hill, HBhop, Gruffin, and Toney look like bums.Comment

when benn was fighting..roy wasnt in his prime yet..he was youngComment

Roy was scared of Benn... Benn was a warrior that would have done to Roy Jones what Glen Johnson did to him, (only it would have happened 10yrs earlier).Originally posted by dino
Benn just kept coming forward throwing Bombs... That is the worst style for Roy Jones to be up against!
Roy knew that fighting Nigel Benn would be stepping into very dangerous ground.Comment

too bad the jones that fight johnson is an old man... the jones that beat toney would have murdered benn with counters all nightOriginally posted by martinwbcComment

I read it carefully the first time around.Originally posted by martinwbc
I will state my opinion more extensively, so you don't think I overread your posts...
it would not have happened, because the jones that benn would have fought, if they fought when jones was a true 168 fighter (94-95) would have murdered benn with counters.
if benn would have thought jones at the time of the hopkins bout, maybe benn would have beat a 160 fighter, MAYBE
you cannot blame jones for wanting to fight benn, at a similar weight on fight nightComment
