    True, but SRR and RJJ both fought at 154/160.

    SRR had to cut weight to make 154 as did Jones. This would've been the time to make the fight.

    BTW, Roy fought from 1988 or 1989 - 2004 undeafeated. If his chin was suspect, don't you think James Toney, Hopkins, McCallum, Virgil Hill or someone else would've tested his chin? Or were they all bums?

    IMO, Roy fought well past what he should have. After he won the HVWT title, that should've been it.

    Also, SRR has also been KO'd if I'm not mistaken? It goes both ways.

      Ray would struggle with someone like Roy at 154-160.
      That's true, but we all know, it comes down to skill and not just size.

      There were many fighters bigger than Pac.

        SRR most likely gets his ass kicked. Just being realistic and not wanting to nuthug older fighters.

          So, although prime RJJ was fast and had very good reflexes, SRR wins that fight !
          roy fought alot of iron chinned fighters and sparked them with a single punch

          no one could stand roy's power like lamotta did with robinson not even lamotta himself

              is the general consensus really that Roy had a glass jaw in his prime?

                For the fans that are new to boxing, I think so. They saw what Tarver, Johnson, Green, and Lebdev did to him.

                But for the fans that's watched his career since day 1, we know better.

                  SRR beats him and anyone else in history during his prime, to be honest even a bit past his best Robinson was still a class apart from RJJ and thats coming from someone that thinks Jones is a legend.

                    Same here... SRR is the worst possible match up for a Prime RJJr

                      Of course, a great smaller fighter can beat a great bigger fighter.

                      I just think in this situation the size difference is quite vast.

                      Robinson isn't a big MW as opposed to Roy who really is.
