Who beats a Prime 168 Roy?

[SkillspayBills]

Noone. Point. Blank. Period.

As I say now and again Roy Jones Jr. at 168 is the best boxer to ever lace on a pair of gloves. Everything you needed to make the greatest boxer ever, he possessed.

[SkillspayBills]

SRR get's starched by RJJ at 168 you guys are buggin. Roy had less one hit KO power (maybe) faster feet and faster hands.

[Iceveins]

McClellan prob had the best chance...

Benn would play in to Roy's hands pretty easily I think.

[Bring It On]

There isn't any fighter I would pick to beat a prime RJJ (around his weight class), he truly was superman.

[THE REED]

People need to get it out of their heads SRR was unbeatable at anyweight against anyone.

He's known as the greatest MAINLY for his RECORD... though his fighting style was definitely ahead of it's time.

Against Roy, it wouldn't be ahead of it's time.

SRR wouldnt have more speed, more power, better reflexes... IMO SRR could end up being baffled because he had never seen someone like Rj fight.

reed, lets not get too gassed up, on that roy jones jr. koolaid here...

roy jones jr., stylewise, is a direct descendent of muhammad ali and ray leonard, who were descendents of ray robinson, who was a descendent of jack johnson...

reed, don't make it seem like roy jones jr., would be able to shuck, jive, and chicken dance his way to a victory over ray robinson, or, put his hands behind his back, and ko ray robinson with one punch...

reed, one thing that sugar ray robinson and sugar ray leonard, would have that would baffle roy jones, is the heart, chin, and stamina, to take roy jones best shots, and keep coming at him, something that a fighter like roy jones, doesn't know too much about, because in roy jones jr.'s era, roy jones jr fought more inferior opposition, than equal, or superior opposition...

Im not saying he would OUTCLASS him, Im saying he would be the best fighter SRR ever fought and vice versa... and with that said, Roy would have seen SRR's style a lot more then SRR would of seen Roys.

With that said, Im stricly talking about 168lbs.

[SplitSecond]

roy has hurt every single one of his opponents through his first 54 fights
robinson is so open to a speedy guy like roy i can see roy land plenty of flush power shots, something he wasn't as capable against defensive atg's like toney and hopkins

robinson would take a plastering

i think leonard style wise stands a better chance vs roy

reed, what roy jones jr., would be looking at in sugar ray robinson, imo, is the ORIGINATOR OF HIS OWN STYLE, minus the showboating, and chicken dancing...reed, roy jones jr.'s style wouldn't exist in boxing, if it wasn't for sugar ray robinson, and jack johnson, fighters who had style, and substance

...so reed, if you said, that roy jones jr., was the most talent boxer, that sugar ray robinson, ever faced, then i wouldn't have an argument, but when you say, that roy jones jr., would be the best "fighter" that ray robinson would face, well reed, i would have to strongly disagree, given how sugar ray robinson, was fighting and beating guys way past his prime, and once roy jones jr., got slightly past his prime, he was starched in 2 rounds,

[THE REED]

But we're debating Prime FOR Prime, right?

The 168lb, 25yr old Roy Jones Jr right?

And it doesnt matter who is the originator, those that originate are not always the best at it.

Michael Jacksons dance moves are based on James Brown... Is James Brown a better dancer than MJ?


Prime RJ would be the most difficult fight to come out with a win for SRR... ESPECIALLY at 168lbs.
