Andre Ward vs Roy Jones Jr

[Adamjr91]

I am talking about the Prime 175lb Roy Jones Jr. You know, the one that beat the Hall of Fame calibre and known steroid user, James Toney. That Roy Jones Jr was an extremely special fighter and is arguably one of the best of the last generation or two.

However, I think Andre Ward has a legitimate chance of beating a prime RJJ. Andre fights ugly, which sometimes borders on dirty but, you cannot deny his effectiveness. He trounced on world rated fights in the Super 6 (e.g. Froch, Kessler), winning all three fights with relative ease. I'm not sure that Roy Jones Jr beat anyone with the level of skill Andre Ward possess (when he's actually fighting).

If i had to pick a winner, I would begrudgingly say, Roy Jones Jr. I think he beats Ward on points in a very competitive fight.

Prime Jones doesn't lose, to anybody. He was THAT good.

The speed and overall athleticism was otherworldly, he had big power, cat like reflexes, could throw every punch in the book - he had it all.

obviously you take roy jones at this stage. you have to. especially at 175 you take jones, who did extremely well at the weight.

Prime Roy beats Ward similar to how he beat Hopkins in their first fight.

[CatchAndShoot]

Anyone that picks Ward has a personal vendetta with Roy.

[Macklemore]

Roy would've stopped him. If Ward fought in Jones era, he would just be another name.

Roy Jones Jr might be the only super middle weight of the last 25 years that I would favour over Ward, more often than not.

Roy wouldn't let ward control the fight.roy would pick ward apart with that quickness and run circles all over ward.i like ward , my top 3 current faves , but that prime roy would slip out of that inside gameplan ward would want to engage in and angles roy quickly throws would be a headache to handle .

Andre Ward looked pretty unbeatable when he cut through the Supper Middleweight division a couple of years ago. If Ward wouldn't stand much chance of beating Roy Jones, where does Roy Jones rank? Does he make it into the top 10 to 15 all time?

If this took place after Jones vs Griffin 1, Ward would have a chance.
