This would be interesting as hell. Jones has never fought a fighter with matching speed and the skill set of Dirrell. Honestly, I could see Dirrell controlling the ring and the action. Dirrells also just as accurate a puncher as Jones, So I'd expect Dirrell being able to find a home for those straight punches all night. Dirrell is also great at measuring distance, so if he was forced to press forward, I would expect him to be more educated and cautious towards Jones' games when he's back against the ropes. Dirrell is also hard to counter due to his quick reflexes and defensive positioning of his stance and hands. Dirrell has a height advantage and a slight, and maybe insignificant, reach advantage. For the most part, Abraham and Froch were only landing hits against Dirrell as Andre would circle out of their pressure and lean back, but even then, that was the only time Abraham and Froch were able to apply their offense. I just don't see to many offensive openings for Roy, and Dirrell has a pretty granite chin. I think Dirrell with 5 or 6 more fights could possibly have Roy's card, and I give him a good chance. It's always hard to decide these fights when it comes to two quick and speed fighters.

If you didn't have your age on your resume, it would have been immediately obvious from the ludicrous comments you have made in your letter. You should seriously think, and then rethink before you ever put any words in print. That is good advice you should pay attention to.

You seem not to be aware, that Roy Jones Jr. is the greatest talent to have set foot in a boxing ring for at least the past 50 years, and maybe even more. He'd be able to hit Dirrell with 5-6 punch combinations before dirrell would even be able to get his gloves up.

There may never have been in the history of boxing, an exponent with the speed and lightning reflexes of Jones, who also had/still has, a KO punch in either hand. Compared to Jones, Dirrell is a very ordinary talent, and I mean no denegration of Dirrell.

Hickey, to pose such an inane question shows you to be even more simple than you look......And yet, no one could be as simple as you look, and amass nearly one and a half million points by tricky betting.

So you are like the musician who was told that "you actually play better than you sound"......

Roy Jones before the McClellan incident dominates and wins by KO.

Roy Jones after the McClellan incident loses by wide decision, like 119-109 wideness.

Dirrell is one of my top three favorites all time too. It's just outside of the realm of possibility for Jones to lose to Dirrell.
