Roy Jones (vs John Ruiz version) vs David Haye, who wins?

[starkiller]

if I could give you more green I would, the ropes did save Haye and it was an ugly jab that Ruiz hit him with.

Looked like a weird straight right to me, which I guess is like a jab... Ruiz caught Haye with two pretty awkward looking straight rights in that gif image. The first one clearly shows Haye falling back onto the ropes as if he would have been knockdown if the ropes weren't there.

Roy from 2003 dominates Haye
not out of the question for Roy to drop him either
Haye's faster than Ruiz so Roy would have to work more
that wouldn't be good for Haye either

this^^^^^^^^^^^Roy would've looked GREAT beatin' up Haye

[THE REED]

Haye doesnt have the reflexes, stamina, or displine to stick with a boxfest over 12 rounds... he better hope he knocks Roy out with a single shot, because he gets picked apart all night with 2003 Roy if he doesn't land the dream punch.

Wonder what a prime John Ruiz would do to Haye... A shot one was able to land his jabs and straight rights on him and even knocked him down against the ropes. It would have been a knock-down if the ropes weren't there.

Jones would get knocked out and very badley at that.

I think haye wins it by KO. He's just to big and too strong for roy. Plus, he's a lot faster than ruiz. If he didn't ko roy early, i think roy will win by UD.

rjj by decision or late stoppage....

its funny how people "mustve forgot" roy had a much better punch resistance back in '03 and before that....thats why its a shame roy's still fighting...people remember him for his glass jaw and inconsistent performances now instead of the great fighter he was...

haye wouldve landed some hard bombs on roy due to his deceptive speed and power but roy would typically counter everything haye threw (which isnt a whole lot) with 3 or 4 shots of his own...

[Pirao]

I think it would be close, Haye could KO Roy, but Roy may have been able to outbox him all night, I don't know. I wouldn't know who to pick TBH, toss up for me.

[Tiozzo]

Haye would have been too much even for a 2003 Jones.

Haye has too much speed, power, footwork and athleticsm for Jones to get away with his usual stuff.

Haye by stoppage in the middle rounds.

Obviously it was better than after a few ko/tko losses but we don't really know how good his chin ever really was because before he started to decline we never saw him take much punishment as he was the one dishing it all out.
