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

[IMDAZED]

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.

Why would you need to see him take punishment in order to see if he had a good chin? Save for the Johnson fight, Jones has basically been KO'ed by single shots early on. That didn't happen before. Not even close. So obviously his chin was clearly not even close to what it once was.

Roy would get KTFO.

Seriously...

That is what I am saying, how good was it really? we don't know for sure.

Didn't Ruiz land a few good right hands on Roy? It's been a while since I've seen it. I don't trust his chin anymore, even the 2003 version. Haye has serious Heavyweight power, he's definitely fast enough to land something eventually.

Toney who fought Holyfield would have toyed with Haye.

I think Jones could actually hurt Haye too. Hayes got a tiny Middleweight head on his blown up cruiserweight body.

That was an excellent vid and really tried to answer some questions of him. You can gather what you would from that but the De Valle KD? I mean if you look at his resume he doesn't have the most impressive ko% and in fact every time he fought someone with a decent record he lost or got a D, it is possible that Roy just got over confident in the fight and took him too lightly.

As much as I love Roy, I think Haye would have stopped him. But I wouldn't rule out the posibility of a UD for Roy.

haye would be too powerful for him, roy would have to move around all match but would get hit eventually and get in trouble

[TintaBoricua]

I could see it going either way. It isnt like Ruiz landed zero punches on Roy, and although I know they have totally different styles, if Haye lands something on Roy it puts him in a coma. Would have loved to see Roy clown Haye and stop him though. God damn that would have been fun to watch.

Agreed. I was fond of Haye BEFORE he started blatantly pulling out of fights left and right. He barks a lot, too.

Roy (2003) versus Haye would've been fun to watch.
