    Pretty dumb considering he fought better opposition than they did, including the best in that division.

    Benn is tailor made for Jones. Wild defense and aggressive. Jones had the best defense in the sport and could KO you with either hand. I could see a nice, short left hook finishing the job early.

      He beat B-Hop and dominated James Toney.

      Two ATG fighters. Both better than anyone Eubank or Benn ever faced, let alone beat.

      Jones beats them both but both would be interesting fights, and closer than many think. I think Eubank loses 8-4, and Benn the same with a possible late stoppage for him though.
      I'm going with this.

        TS - On this forum you have to realise that if you ask "Could Roy Jones Jr beat.......?" the answer will always be "YES!!!! Of course! Roy was the GOAT!! OMGGGGGGGG"

        People on here are Roy crazy, so your poll results will reflect heart over head.

          We're talking Benn and Eubank - not Robinson and Leonard. Good 168lbers but that's where it ends.

            this^^

            eubank would have his moments, it would be a good fight but roy would ultimately win by a significant margin. i think roy could pretty much knock benn out at will, time his headmovement and make him walk onto something. no way benn can cope with that combination of hand speed, precision and timing roy had.

              Slightly off topic but do Benn and Eubank deserve to be in the HOF?
