    How would Roy Jones hav fared vs David Tua in 1999

    Could he out point Tua? Would he have been able to take the power of the left hook?

        This would have been a sweet fight op. Roy would have had to been perfect at every moment. Only one small man Chris Byrd beat this guy. If Roy could duplicate the gameplan I would call that his best win. Forget ruiz, he already got his respect for that not a bad win.

          Jones in 99 was lethal speed and timing but his power would not match up. He wouldn’t be able to crack a pimple on Tuas face. I’ve no doubt Jones could’ve outboxed Tua but it would be pins and needles b/c of Tua’s power. I pick Jones by wide UD.

            Jones in 99 was something else.

            Tua though has knocked out Ruiz and came off that war with Ike.

            I could see Jones on his legs giving a boxing clinic for 12.

            But Tua was a bad man with out of this world chin and power so I’d say Roy -180 Tua + 120 is about right.
