Jones by decision. I haven't seen anything to suggest Ward having a weak chin and Roy's usual MO was to box carefully if he wasn't sure about being able to get an opponent out of there at will.

Roy's physical talent would again excel and be on great display, the prime 168 roy was just too athletic.. ward is the most technically sound and the best at 168 in his era, but he should do more to be an ATG.. like jump 5 divisions up??? but wait, he didnt even do it for dawson if he really wants greatness..i love his win, but the cloud is too big, no question asked.

Those saying ward would "adjust" or "nuetralise" Jones AT ALL, i'd love to know what your Basing that on when technical master craftsmen like Toney and Hopkins couldn't do **** against him.
And thus far I've seen nothing to say ward matches prime versions of those guys.

Andre Ward is a special fighter.
However, prime Roy was a once in a generation ultra-special fighter. Jones via stoppage.

Then a focused Roy showed up for the rematch with a point to prove; it was proved in 2 and a half minutes.

Andre Ward is arguably the best fighter on the face of the earth right now. Roy Jones was the best fighter of the last 20 to 30 years. If I see a fighter as gifted as Roy again I will thank god for letting me live long enough.
