i wouldnt even pick ray robinson vs jones at middle lol

jones schools him 10-2 if ward is lucky

I can imagine 2 different scenarios. 1. Roy catching him early with that blazing speed KOing him in the 1st round. Or 2. Roy starts out too cautious and Ward bullies him on the ropes and making it a hardcore dog fight like the 1st fight with Tarver. I think Roy would pull it out by SD with his flashy furries and showboating.

Gerald McClellan had the best shot at beating a prime RJJ.

Had a strong punchers chance.

Jones wins that fight.

Talk about jumping the gun. I think Ward is great but ask this question in a few years when Ward gets some hair on his chest. As of now RJJ by easy UD. In a few years, who knows?

Why is this even under discussion prime Roy would destroy Ward.

That's the thing. Everybody is saying Roy will win because they've seen Roy at his best and seen everything there is to see. We've seen his peak.

And although Andre Ward or anyone else for that matter can't compete with Roy Jones in athleticism, I still can't see this being an easy fight for Roy. Simply because Andre Ward already shown so much versatility and skills at such a green state of his career, and he is still improving. And just like people believed that nobody can beat Roy back then, I believe that currently, nobody can defeat Andre Ward.

And I'm not saying Ward will beat Jones. To me, this is a fantasy fight that can go either way.

I think Ward would get stopped somewhere in the middle of a competitive fight. I don't think Ward would have success on the inside and that, ultimately, would be his undoing. On the outside though, he'd make Jones miss a lot. At 160-168, Jones threw a lot of homeruns in his day and was fast enough to flatten you with one or make you fear it the rest of the way. Ward would probably avoid many of them while utilizing his jab but eventually one would land and I'm not convinced he'd hold up.
