Topic title: Wht Nigel Benn would have kayoed Roy Jones jr
I Just Don't See Why So Many People Keep Claiming That Roy Jones Jr Would Have An Easy Time With Nigel Benn Had The Met Each Other At Super-middleweight.jones Was Very Speedy With Very Good Power But He Was A Cautious Boxer Who Would Like To Outbox Benn Rather Then Try To Stop Him.and Benn Loved To Take Risks, He Was An Amazing Hitter With Loads Of Heart.jones Was Never Known To Have A Great Chin.my Pick Is Benn By Late Stoppage Over Jones.what Do U Guys Think Of This Matchup?(and Remember That Benn Had Not Hit His Peak When Watson And Eubank Beat Him)
Benn Tko 9 Jones

Jones would have spanked Nigel Benn if you're talking about a Roy Jones that is anything other than at his current level, easy unanimous decision. The dude is shot beyond belief right now and I wish he would retire, but no one could touch him before he dropped 25 pounds of muscle at age 35 to fight Tarver. Nigel Benn isn't the boxer that I'd say would test RJ in ways that he had never been tested. But I suppose that is just my opinion, and good job capitalizing every word dmt.

I remember when benn had just fought McClellan he said jones would proberbly jab his head off, but jones said he was'nt ready for benn. I think jones would have been too quick and stopped benn maybe in 8, you yanks are just more rounded fighters than us brits as lacy will prove on saturday.

do u really think Benn could win, also r u English.
---
yes i really do think Benn would win and no i am not english
---
I do believe Nigel Benn in his prime could ko Roy Jones.
---
Benn has the power to rock anybody, Benn KO
---
RJJ never fought anyone like Benn. Benn brought pressure, combination punching and power above any level RJJ ever went near. Alongside this Benns chin was solid - see McCellan fight - he just punched himself and got ko'd when tired in his losses. Theres a good reason he was called the middleweight Tyson.
Its a fight that could go either way. Benn could stop him early or RJJ could stop him late or win on points. But no way RJJ outboxes Benn for 12rounds. RJJ would have to take BEnns shots because the pressure would eventually get through. And RJJ would get his chin tested in this fight.
BTW Benn has allot better shot at RJJ than DM ever did!!!!!!!!!
---
If Benn landed one of his big bombs on Jones chin can he floor him or knock him out the awnser is YES
---
Benn rips RJJ apart, he was so fierce. When Benn went in low with those hooks it was awesome to watch, he delivered his weight into each punch of the fierce combo and RJJ has never had to deal with that S*** before. Benn was too fierce for RJJ.
---
Let me offer an unorthodox observation. After the McClellan tragedy, Jones was haunted by the fear of the same happening to him. He refused to visit Gerald, although sent money to help support him. It was the Dark Destroyer who almost killed McClellan.
Jones simply would not have fought Benn because Benn had become the ultimate "dangerous" fighter, and Jones was never enthusiastic about fighting dangerous fighters, particularly after Benn-McClellan.
If they did fight, Benn would have tested Jones's chin eventually. Benn was a terror and feared no one, although he may have been hurt by Jones and would have been dazzled by the speed and finesse of Jones. I see Benn connecting hard in no time on a retreating Jones. The fight would come down to a good chin and recuperative powers. Benn wins and not least of the reasons why is the Jones psychological factor.

Roy Jones did not run. Eubank tried and failed. Watson gave a rock solid defence. Both were made to suffer before stopping Benn.
For six rounds Benn in his prime is just too much. Its too many rounds for Roy to escape.
I'm not a Roy fan but I'm always quick to give him props where due. He can beat everyone in history at 160 and 168 just not Benn and Hearns. I think they have his number.
Benn cuts off the ring, moves his head, every punch hurts. He is like the 90s Roldan but EVEN MORE.
Jones will nail Benn, he'll hurt him, he'll drop him, he'll make him look a fool but if you can't take the first six rounds of Benn your in trouble. I just don't think Roy can get ouf of the first six rounds.
---
Jones would have probably beaten Benn after the G Man fight. Benn brought it back one last time that night.
---
Benn threw too much and too hard to go without landing somthing big even on someone like jones. he'd hurt him and stop him.
---
Why?
Chris Eubank was one of the few whose speed and skills and reflexes can be compared to that of Roy's, but to be honest, with none of these attributes at the same level.
Chris Eubank was also the only fighter who beat Benn in his prime.
Why should I think he would have a good chance to beat RJJ?
---
BEcause Roys toughness isn't in the same stratosphere as Eubanks and that is a big reason why Eubank won the fight. It must also be mentioned he was behind on the cards.
---
AND he took BOMBS that I don't envisage RJJ taking ... not in the slightest ... Eubank showed how tough he was in that first fight and he showed how tough he was against Carl Thompson, after moving up two whole divisions, at what? 31 years of age? ... as skilled as he was, RJJ is no Chris Eubank of chin and courage imho.
