Would Roy's fights have been different...

its funny how diego can call any other fighter glass chin when corrales has one of worse chins i ever seen.and wlad has a good chin.lol only one man ever knocked him out.but anyway alot of fighters tried to land punches against roy.if they knew about his chin or not they would of still lost.

Joe probably had even faster hands than Roy, and the difference between them is that Joe wanted to fight the best out there but was avoided while Roy did'nt want to fight the best out there and avoided them. BUT, i do think Roy would of beaten Joe and anybody out there for that matter but the thing is we'll never know and can only blame Roy for that. Both really good fighters though, both too fast and active for JUY JUY's boyfriend Eubank at any stage of eubank carerr, Although i do like Chris.

Faster than Roy's? Are you crazy? Had he fought Roy it wouldve been similar to the Clinton Woods fight. Joe would make it look good for portions of a couple or rounds but would get ripped apart.

I agree somewhat, he trashes Wlads chin and while Diegos **** is weak. I wouldnt say Wlad has a GOOD chin, but haters like him exaggerate about how bad it is.

With all due respect to Clinton, he is a couple of classes below Calzaghe

Clinton is a decent, domestic-level fighter.

Calzaghe has been one of the best in the world for 20 years.

roy jones jnr was a average fighter but he is no mayweather!!

Well, I definitely had Roy Jones as the best fighter in the world until Tarver stopped him (who I predicted would beat Jones in the first fight), but everyone saw what happened when Tarver, in the 2nd fight, had no fear of Jones' blazing handspeed. He went in there and knocked him the **** out. You can clearly tell Toney is afraid of Jones' handspeed the entire fight. Even Ruiz was afraid of Jones when he saw Roy was just too fast. What I'm saying is, I would toss my style aside if I was fighting Jones and pull a Sam Soliman, throwing punches from all angles and swarming Jones until I at least laid a few on him no matter what I got in return. Have you ever seen a Jones fight between 1998 and 2003 where the commentators didn't talk about how the opponent was fearful of letting his hands go because Roy was so fast? I haven't. Roy HATES pressure as we saw in many rounds of the fight against Hopkins, where Bernard just pinned him on the ropes and wailed away on him without fear of being hit back. Problem is, it was too late by then and let's be honest...Hopkins, a natural middleweight, had no chance of KOing Jones, who belonged at Light Heavyweight. Glen Johnson pressured Jones the entire fight. Manny Steward called it "amateurish", yet Johnson knocked Roy the **** out after winning every single round. Go ahead and say Roy is out of his prime or whatever you wanna call it and I'll just go ahead and claim all my favorites are out of their prime when they lose.

By the way, if Corrales loses to Castillo it's because he's out of his prime. But if he wins, he's back in his prime again, ok?

If you can't tell the difference between a 90's Roy Jones and 2005 Roy Jones, then we don't need to talk. You don't think that people tried bullying Jones, the way Johnson did, to the ropes? He was too fast to get pinned somewhere. As his athletic ability detiorated it became easier to do so.
