Andre Ward vs Prime Roy Jones @168-175

[elgu]

Let's give Ward what Roy Jones doped with... And then it's a different game. Ward by UD

Right.... because Ward, the guy that worked with conte, is all natural?

As for the topic at hand Jones by KO before the tenth. People mention hopkins, and toney but those guys had iron jaws.

In an likelihood the fight doesnt reach the 6th. About 90% sure its over by the tenth. Would bet the house that jones at the very least gets the decision, unless RJJ hits him on the floor.

Prime calzaghe also beats ward, but thats a discussion for another day.

Prime RJJ is unbeatable. RJJ KO by the 10th.

Prime RJJ is unbeatable. RJJ KO by the 10th.

Came here to say this. Prime RJJ was one of the finest physical specimens to ever set foot in a ring. Maybe not KO, since Ward is pretty good defensively, but no way does he keep up.

People always go for the puncher. That's the way it is. Not how things work in the real world unfortunately.

Hard to say. Ward has never fought anybody close to Roy Jones but same can be said about Roy.

Roy did beat hopkins but hops wasnt as complete of a fighter back then.

I think Roy would win

Roy was not just a puncher he was one of the best fighters ever in his prime.

[Fists_of_Fury]

Roy more than likely would stop Ward or win a wide UD. Ward is nowhere near prime Roy's level. The dirty inside fighting would not work against prime Roy and that's Ward's best style lol. If you pick Ward or say it's 50/50... yall musta forgot.

[Basco]

Prime Jones was something else!

[DinoCop]

Ward is great but RJJ would untie him.
RJJ>Ward: power, long shots, countering, slickness.
Ward>RJJ: Adjusting, doesn't get surprised.
Ward minus: Gets hit more frequently than b4 with hard shots, that might be problem at higher weights.

I have Andre Ward winning easy. As fast as Roy was, he could never catch Ward leading with hooks and uppercuts like he did in his heyday. Ward is just too good defensively and has razor sharp reflexes. Roy was never the smartest fighter either and I could see him trying the same thing over and over until he eventually got tired and frustrated.

You'd have had Andre winning EASILY?

Behave.
