    If Roy Jones was prime..How would he fair right now?

    I'd say he'd have EVERY belt at light heavy and would be able to move up to heavyweight and beat Povetkin right now

    i think he beats every HW outside of the klitschkos

    every cruiserweight (he would probably only weigh 180-90 for the fight anyway. maybe less.)


    and he'd knock out most of the LHW. prime roy stops pascal, current hopkins, and probably dawson, if not simply outworking him and winning every round. easily ud's cloud. maybe stops him, but cloud has a good chin.


    if he was at his best.

      K brothers and probably Haye can win against against Jones at HW now, then at LHW he is able to KO all and at CWhe can win against all

          If he was the same RJJ that went to HW a few years back, he'd be LHW champ and could beat a few HW's..not the K-bros. Match RJJ with Kimbo, lol

          If he were a prime SMW, he would beat them all

          If he were a prime middleweight....he could maybe beat Martinez but I think Martinez would clock him a few too many times and his glass chin would give out.

              Nah, even the MW version beats Sergio.

                  I think he would be right up there with Floyd, and he would be the champion at any division he entered. I don't think he would do that great at heavyweight though because of how big Wlad and Vitali are. He could maybe beat some of the smaller heavyweights if he was in his prime right now.

                    He never really got tagged enough to show it. He would likely beat Martinez.....I still have to say sway my decision towards Martinez.

                    Unbiasedly speaking, I don't think there is anyone who could beat a prime Jones...he has too fast, quick, powerful for anyone outside of the giant heavyweights.
