How bad does a prime Roy Jones beat lil Golovkin?

[SilverMiles]

You really reach with this one. Carl Froch wasn't down either in his amateur carreer, he got floored when he stepped up the competetion, which GGG has yet to do - Going into his 34th year.

Froch also didn't fight at the amateur level GGG fought at.

[MRBOOMER]

Golovkin hurts RJJ badly. It's hilarious how much people overrate RJJ's actual "boxing skills". He was an athletic freak who lost all that ability once he got older.

50/50 fight

Hence the word prime.

Can you really say Jones had a defining fight? None of Jones fight hold any importance in the sport of boxing except maybe his fake heavyweight fight against Ruiz.

The comparison is this, Jones never looked as good as GGG against B level comp. he was fast but against elite level comp was never Super. Jones clowned part time boxers. His fights against actual top fighters were less spectucalar.

Only a fool would think Jones could stop a fighter who hasn't even touched the canvas in 400+ fights.

You guys are living off myth and hate.

The myth that Roy Jones was Superman.

And hating on GGG, a decorated amateur and world class boxer. Get the fuq out here with that bull**** ( and that's not directed at only you but many others) the fight would be close and epic.

Jones's complete domination of James Toney is better than any win Golovkin could possibly hope to get any time in the near future.

You sound like you have no idea who Roy Jones is.

Roy Jones is one of those myths. He was a great fighter but wasn't unbeatable. Must if these probably haven't seen many of Jones fights but rather his highlights.

GGG vs Jones is 50/50, Jones clowned on firemen but never against elite comp and factor in his suspect chin and GGG real power and you have an all time great battle.

I don't know how anyone could call it a 50/50 fight at this stage.

Based on what exactly?

Beating the likes of Martin Murray etc?

Roy only clowned on fireman?

Yeah right.

[The Gambler1981]

Seems some people need to hear it~

[Mr.Fantastic]

The same way he'd beat Andre Ward.

You're assuming that GG could have landed on Roy, without being hurt himself.

Roy had great skills that were combined with his freakish athletic abilities. And that is the version of Roy who GG would have met at MW.

this happens with a lot of fighters from the past

[robertzimmerman]

Just like beating a group of policemen make people delusional?

Yeah, Roy only beat a group of policeman and fireman etc.

Come back to me when GGG has beaten guys like Hopkins, Toney, Hill, Griffin, Johnson, Ruiz and Tarver etc.

[bojangles1987]

People talk about the "myth" of Superman Roy Jones.

You know what is an even bigger myth people love to talk up? That Roy was just some athletic freak who had no skills and relied on being quicker than everyone.
