they fight at middle weight all in there primes
i will take the jones that fought james tony and put him up agaisn’t any of the great middleweights. and i pick him to win making some of the best fighters look bad.
i think SRR,SRL,hagler would have pushed jones but he would have beaten SRR and hagler on points. and stopped SRL around the 8th
whats your guys view.
Well I admit my RJJ bias, can’t help it I love the guy as a fighter and what he’s capable of. And I think he would of beaten those guys but alot of it would be due to the size difference, especially with Ray Leonard. Hagler wouldn’t be a push over at all, doubt SRR would be a push over either but still the huge size advantage, although I wouldn’t be expecting a knockout.
I’ll say this loud and clear…so I won’t have to reply to this topic anymore…
AT MIDDLEWEIGHT ROY JONES JR. WOULD HAVE DESTROYED EVERY OLD SCHOOL, OLD ERA, NEW SCHOOL, AND NEW ERA FIGHTER PERIOD…
lamotta,SRR,SRL,HAGLER,MONZON,FULLMER, I MEAN ALL OF THEM..AND quite easily at that…meaning they would have probably been Knocked out or embarassed then stopped late..all of them…
the only one I think stands a chance is Hagler…insane conditioning..granite chin…smothering style(both SOUTHPAW and orthodox) with constant pressure…I saw both fighters in their prime fight…and I still couldn’t pick…not against Hagler…but all the others…I think RJJ could take them…
I agree with the general consensus he was just too big, strong, and quick for any of those guys…
Its a bit unfair considering the size difference.
