How does Jean Pascal measure up to Roy Jones?

[Teddy Brenner]

We all know that Jean Pascal has emulated Roy Jones style-wise.

The question is, on a scale of 1-10, how close is Pascal to Jones, speed-wise, talent-wise and ring generalship-wise?

I give Pascal an 8.4 on the the Roy Jones scale.

6 maybe 7 ...

He doesn't measure up, at all.

He's nowhere near as fast, he get's hit far too often, he gasses in every fight, he should have lost to a 46 year old B-Hop while in his prime (not too bad, but still), he relies on single big shots and can't throw good combo's - I could do this for a while to be honest.

The highest I'm willing to give him in comparison to Roy Jones is a 2/10.

2/10?

That's a little harsh?

If he was a 2 he could not compete with world class fighters at all.

Froch? Diaconu? Dawson? Hopkins?

Speed: Roy Jones
Power: Roy Jones
Combinations: Roy Jones
Defence: Roy Jones
Jab: Roy Jones
Left Hook: Roy Jones
Movement: Roy Jones
Ring-Generalship: Roy Jones
Intangibles: Roy Jones
Chin: Pascal

What I'm trying to state is that Pascal is a cheaper version of the prototype and as much as he emulates Roy in the ring, he just doesn't possess the physical attributes to be worthy of recognition alongside Roy.

I'm not saying he's a 2/10 fighter.

I'm saying when you're comparing him to Roy Jones he doesn't match up to him style wise. Pascal is absolutely a good fighter, but despite trying to be like Roy, he isn't. As an overall fighter he's clearly world level, but how similar is he to Roy in terms of style? 2/10.

Speed, power, skill, combo's, defence etc - he's nothing like Roy.

@ Pascal being measured to Roy....no way!!!

[bojangles1987]

Dude's a 1 at best compared to Roy.

[Kenny Blankenship]

When it comes to pure talent like speed etc. he doesn't have what Roy Jones has.

But when it comes to sheer balls and the willingness to fight anyone they put in front of him, Pascal is head an shoulders above Roy Jones. Roy wasted years away fighting nobodies. Pascal will fight anyone they put in front of him and won't take years haggling about it (i.e. Jones-Hopkins II)

This is why I prefer to see Pascal fight over Roy Jones any day of the week.

Show me a Pascal fight where he fought like Roy Jones. I really want to see that!
