    I remember that dude Reggie Miller almost had him out on his feet almost, Jones was hanging on and got out of jail because he could punch. And come on, Reggie Miller was no Reggie Johnson!

      I am very familiar with both....& can't say that I was really a fan of either.

      But, I can say that I believe Roy was superior....& would win a fight against Nunn quite comfortably.

            I saw a dude named Charles Campbell (think that was his name)...drop & almost KO Nunn before Nunn took out Frank Tate.
            You see this fight would've been a boring chess match fight. I still think Nunn at the better defense & he would've outbox Jones by a close boring fight. Nunn is way underrated by the fans today, but Jones still overrated after getting knocked out twice by 2 old grandpas.

              well we'll have to agree to disagree then, i think jones is better in most departments although nunns speed would of been a problem for the first half of the fight, then i think jones would of taken over.

              Did you see the eubank dvds, i got one - there genuine too

                On VHS, I really want to dig it out and get it up.

                Also, I remember Jones hanging on against I think it was Lou De Valle or one of the LHW opponents. And none of these guys were Jackson, McClellan or Benn.

                  jones didnt have to hang on against del valle, he virtually dominated the whole fight apart from round 8

                    Not true I've seen enough of Jones. I was never brainwashed of his greatness. I always though he was overrated.
