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

[ballgamessuck]

At his prime he could still be fighting at SMW, he would clean out the division, move to LHW and clean out the division, then move to CW and put a sock in James Toney's mouth. Not down on Toney, he's very entertaining.

[[ DUBBZZ ]]

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

Pretty much....

[SERVILEV]

160 -beats Martinez, Strum, Priog, Williams, Pavlik, Abraham.

168 - beats Froch, Kessler, Bute, Dirrells, Ward.

175 - Hopkins, Chad, Cloud

Cruiser - anyone

HW - anyone not named David haye or the klitschos

Absolutely agree.

IMO haye has a punchers chance.... if it goes to a decision I've got Roy by UD.

He's not quicker, he can't counter better, he doesn't have better slipping ability, he doesn't maintain distance better... he's not smarter in the ring period...

If Haye doesn't knock him out, Roy wins.

The biggest mistake maybe in boxing history was Roy not staying at heavyweight. He should have fought (and beat) Byrd, then took on Lewis. Sure, Lewis would have KO'd him, but my God, that would have been big.

I think it's not retiring after Tarver I.

At that point he WON... but was clearly done.

Beating tarver COMPLETED the last step of matching what Bob Fitzsimmons did 100 years prior.

Regaining the LHW championship AFTER WINNING a HW strap was a huge notch on the belt, and Bob did it as well... Roy needed to do it.

He shouldn't of rematched him..

But really what's worse.... being knocked out in the rematch... or being forever remembered as the person who "ducked" the rematch.

**** it... he manned up.
