    10 fighters that I think that would beat a
    Prime Roy Jones jr
    A prime RJJ was a great fighter a sight to behold,
    lighten reflexes, dazzling combinations,
    unorthodox punches from unorthodox angles
    and big power in both hands.
    But here are 10 fighters from middleweight to
    light heavyweight that would beat a prime Roy
    Jones jr.
    Gene Tunney:
    The Fighting Marine, maybe the best light-heavy
    ever, beat the Heavyweight Champ Jack
    Dempsey Twice, only ever lost 1 fight, on a
    decision.
    Archie Moore:
    The Old Mongoose, one of the first to use the
    shoulder roll, huge power stopped a lot of
    heavyweights and no other boxer has had as
    many KOs as him
    Harry Greb:
    The Human Windmill, never stopped punching
    never got out your face, would hit you with fists,
    elbow and head, one tough S.O.B.
    Sugar Ray Robinson:
    Considered the greatest boxer ever by many,
    SRR had it all, fast hand, footwork, power, chin,
    heart, he has many HOFs on his record.
    Carlos Monzon:
    They say the way to beat speed is to have a
    good jab, they were too many that had better
    than Monzon, granite chin and would walk you
    down and make you pay.
    Marvin Hagler:
    Much like Monzon Hagler just kept on coming
    forward, but had more intensity but didn't have
    the jab of Monzon.
    Ezzard Charles:
    The Cincinnati Cobra, slick and skillful, threw
    accurate punches and had great defensive skill
    and had to move up to heavyweight to get titles
    shot.
    Bob Fitzsimmons:
    RJJ emulated him by winning the middleweight
    and heavyweight title but unlike Roy, Bob beat
    the man rather than a paper champion.
    Michael Spinks:
    Considered by many to be the one of the
    greatest light-heavies of all time a pure boxer
    with great technical skills handed Holmes his
    first defeat and stopped him equaling
    Marciano's record.
    Dwight Muhammad Qawi:
    Only started boxing at 25, stood only 5 ft 5½ in
    but was a natural and had great slick skills took
    Holyfield to a SD over 15 rounds.

      A wild swarmer is not a good style against Jones.
      Jone wouldn't deal with the pressure he brought. A very rough fight for Roy, Greb would hit arms, hips, elbows. Use his elbows and other dirty tactics.

      Got the better of heavyweight great Dempsey sparring and the only man to beat Tunney.

        same here!!

            Greb would hit his arms and Roy would hit him in the face?

            Also the notion that Fitzsimmons could beat Jones is hilarious.

              Is it weird that I think Ward would have a very good chance of taking a decision against prime roy?

                    I just remembered RJJ used PEDS, so without PEDS, yes JC would beat him.
