‘1996’ Roy Jones Jr vs ‘2012’ Andre Ward

[Sweet Jones]

Here we go again. The guy everyone admires more just walks through the guy who never lost. I think it's a points fight. Roy didnt just blast out everyone, even in hes prime. He struggled with Griffin just a year later, and I think Ward is far better than Griffin, with a comparable jab and left hook lead that would trouble Jones.Difficult points win for Jones.

RJJ ‘struggled’ with Griffin similarly to the way Mayweather ‘struggled’ with Judah: the first 4-5 rounds were competitive before the better talent started taking over.

Jones dropped Griffin in the 7th before having him basically done in the 9th.

IMO, the Ward/Jones matchup probably looks similar to Jones/Hopkins I. RJJ too fast and Ward not having enough offense to keep up. 8-4/9-3 RJJ in a rugged rough UD. Might even drop Ward once.

actually ward coasts to an easy decision in this fight. jones is highly overrated sorry

[QueensburyRules]

Jones probably knocks him out BUT if Jones is testing VADA year round, who can say?

--- I say Roy on BALCO Vic VADA vitimins same as Son of Gollum would KTFO of soggy save in Oakland with crooked refs.

Fact is soggy wouldn't fight him. He stayed in Oakland for easy chump change and nobody misses his candy ass.

Ward wins this fight. Its the prince fighting barrera. ward is waaaay to conventional and disciplined to lose to roy.

But Roy is special. Lost to conventional Tarver. who was an ok light heavy

[RamBoVee]

PS. watch Prince Nasseem vs MAB. Funniest night ever.

[Terryb]

jones had too many holes. and a lack of speed

[Lomasexual]

Ward was very good. Perhaps even great.

But RJJ was the best of the best. RJJ beats Ward, 100 times out of 100.

LOL Prime Roy murks both these guys in the same night.

A past prime RJJ beat a extremely motivated (has been dreaming of a RJJ fight since they were kids in Florida) southpaw Tarver after dropping 25 pounds of muscle.

He did this by willing himself to take the championship rounds after investing heavily in taking out Tarver’s body.

Had he retired right after that fight, we’d be talking about RJJ as our generation’s Sugar Ray Robinson.

I LOVE Andre Ward, but he aint beating Roy Jones. Period.

Calzaghe destroys either on the same night.

the criteria was prime not 40 years old and should have been retired years ago. Calzaghe outpoints (not destroys, he was featherfist) anyone who is shot to shyt for sure, but who doesnt? With feint praise my friend, you utterly damn Joe. Hes not in these guys league.
