Who would put up the better fight against prime RJJ at 168? Canelo or GGG?

[Robbie Barrett]

GGG puts up a better fight. He has much more punching power and a great left jab and is a better long range boxer. He would not gas out like Canelo would.

Golovkin got out Golovkin'd by Canelo, he's better at nothing.

Prime Roy would toy with Canelo and make him look like a damn fool like Floyd did. He is just too fast for Ginger to counter and in addition, Jones wont sit still long enough in the pocket for Alvarez to hit. He'll easily shut him out while potshotting him at will

On the other hand, Golovkin would make it more of a fight and competitive. He is a more of boxer/slugger who comes forward to eat punches in order to land punches.

It would be a fun fight while it last, but GGG would inevitably succumb to Jones' superior size, speed power advantage and Gennady's lack of defense. GGG would be just too easy for Roy to find and hit.

Roy Jones, Jr will hit him at will; With clean and flush punches to the head while evading Golovkin shots in return.

What a load of bollocks. Why was he pushed on to the back foot by Canelo then?

GGG because of his style. That constant pressure would give RJJ more problems. RJJ would be too quick though.

Roy would K.O. golovkin early.

to be realistic and fair.... there was no advanced drug testing in boxing during Roy's time...

Floyd Mayweather dedicated part of his career to address advanced drug testing. The narrative became a reality for how we test today. It's not about the instruments and protocol for analyzing samples today but moreso the timeframe for when fights are announced and random collections... veteran fans don't really speak about this obvious insight

that's why the LDBC don't like addressing it..

Here you go again with those baseless allegation about Jones cheating. If he did cheat then why couldn't the governing bodies' prove it? It's all rumor and innuendo. They couldn't even identify the origin of the substance, that he was cheating with if he was indeed doping.

The truth is, that commission did not know what they were doing. Roy Jones never tested positive before so why would he pop dirty then? It's because they didn't know how to do forensic testing at the time because their lab was a cesspool of contamination. Which was why they had those false positive tests to begin with

Roy K.O.'s Sissy-g in the 4rd round, Nelo out lasts that chump.

Stop it. If Nelo can make Sissy-g back up then Roy would drop Sissy-g in a heartbeat.

The point, I am making is that Canelo is more defensive-oriented than Gennady and is much harder to hit cleanly and flush. You would have to potshot Alvarez from a distance at will in order to defeat him like Mayweather did or he will simply just find and counter you. He is a counter puncher, who likes to preserve energy and doesn't like to throw a lot of punches or get hit all that often.

[Richard Hamilton]

Both get embarrassed

LMAO. the RJJ scandal was a badass coverup like Paterno n'shzz. I've seen threads LOCKED on NSB when its dwelved upon.

Both Jones and Hall tested positive for anabolic steroids after the fight. "Jones was five or six times over an acceptable level," said Jacob Hall, who was chairman of the Indiana State Athletic Commission. "Hall was about ten times above an acceptable level." Jones insisted his positive test was the result of ingesting the supplement Ripped Fuel. No penalties or suspensions were issued because Indiana, like many states, had no legal authority to test for steroids. The IBF sent letters to Jones and Hall informing each man that he had tested positive for an unspecified anabolic steroid, but no further action was taken.
