Calzaghe would give trouble to any version of Roy, stop with the bs

Calzaghe was good but overrated. He had a chance to fight Roy Jones when Jones was the P4P fighter of the decade during their era but he had no willingness to leave the security of his home shores. I'm a Calzaghe support er but the truth can't be ignored. Roy was simply on another level and he beat all kinds of styles that Calzaghe NEVER faced in his career. Calzaghe barely got by an older Bernard Hopkins and was still dropped hard on his face in a fight that is still debated to this day as to the victor. He was dropped by a Jones who had been knocked out twice on a 3 fight losing streak who was clearly diminished as a force. Roy beat a PRIME Hopkins, Tony, Devalle, Reggie Johnson ( who was as slick and slippery as they come) and then toyed with John Ruiz a Heavyweight 25 pounds bigger who in spite of his ugly style and limitations was still able to be in the mix in the division. Calzaghe would be very hard pressed to deal with a man who was infinitely faster than him, hit MUCH harder than him, had ten times better reflexes and legs and who wouldn't make it easy by staying in the pocket like the buggers Joe was accustomed to. This would in all probability look like the thrashing Roy put on Pazienza.

@@ascendancy4900 naw you crazy, no one could stop prime roy. He overwhelmed his opponents with speed, power and superhuman like reflexes. Calzaghe would have got knocked out. James toney couldnt defend him off losing every single round. You cant beat someone whos faster and stronger.

@@fitzgeraldanthony9333 respect mate great shout ❤️

In a lb4lb, it's Ray Leonard. Leonard could take a punch, was blazingly fast, the best combination fighter in history(storms of punches with power), could box exactly as boxer would or punch exactly as a puncher would, had better mobility than Roy, and was too fast to counterpunch. This is the fight: Holmes+Walcott(but faster than they were and without their chin)* VS AIi+Holyfield(but even better with combinations than they were)! *There are differences in AIi and Holmes: it's the quality of movement and the combination ability. When some fighters use combinations, the punches continually flow! When others throw combinations, their rate of speed slows down beyond the 1-2. As they use 3+ punches, they are slower with subsequent punches. For Jones, this might be splitting hairs because he was so fast already and you may think this slowdown does not matter! However, both these guys were blazingly fast and Leonard did not have this problem! It's that weakness that can make it easier to counter you--if your opponent knows what to look for. I mentioned that not because Ray was a counterpuncher, but to make this show up more. I believe that combination challenged fighters know they have this flaw and that's why you see them almost all of the time throwing 1 or 2 punches at a time!

It was 1 month short of 3 years and he came back and beat haggler in 87

Wrong

Ray had god given talent as well

I wouldnt classify roys athletic abilities as god given talent. More like physical attributes. He relied more on his power, speed and athleticism. Ray leonard was the much better boxer skillwise. Also better generalship and toughness. I dont see roy turning maddog on a killer with bigger size, punch and reach like ray did on tommy hearns. The Tarver losses were no accidents, and tarver was no tommy hearns.

@@eranliber5993 man liber you hit the nail on the head tell it

@@eranliber5993 Bull sht Roy one the first fight easy later rounds. Tarver losses were no accidents LOL Obviously you dont understand weight classes. For Roy to move to heavy weight then drop back down in 6 months to light heavy zapped him. If he would've made Tarver move to heavy weight he would've one easy.

In all fairness when jones lost he came down 25lbs to fight again after beating Ruiz

"Exposed" lol. Roy had already been a pro for 16 years and a world champion in 4 different divisions by the tine he had his first real loss against Tarver. Get outta here with that BULL.

@@JorgeRojas-ut3wj Dipshit, Jones was always big for the MW & Super MW divisions. His speed enabled him to outslick non bombers like Toney, an old McCallum and Hopkins. When he moved up to light Heavy a division more appropriate to his size and the chin finally got tested, he gets KTFO!!!

@@tbolin25 175 lbs was Roy's walk around weight. Which means he was outsized by all other light heavies and that was very apparent to see if you had ever seen the man fight in his prime. And it's clear you never did otherwise you wouldn't talk such astounding, unbelievable, astronomic horseshit. Besides, he was already a light heavyweight for years before ever being dropped so your dumbass theory doesn't even hold water because it doesn't make any sense.

@@JorgeRojas-ut3wj It's simple Border Jumper, Jones KTFO by 2 extremely mediocre light heavy's (Tarver & Johnson). Btw, I think the name of that Hall of Fame warrior that Tarver beat slipped my mind, oh wait, not that he beat but who beat him Hopkins and Dawson. As for Johnson, lost to him to but hey, Johnson only had 21 losses. But hey Tapitio breath, thanks for proving my point "Jones walked around at 175", while Hagler walked around at 155. Remember, Enchilada Taint, Jones started at MW and was a big MW. Still, that chin would've been tested in a 15 round beating from Hagler. Jones couldn't KO McCallum, Hopkins or Toney neither of whom could bring the kind of heat Hagler most surely would have and if he couldn't hurt the the likes of those 3, there's no way he dents the greatest chin of all time. So I'll take my dumbass theory and you go back to licking bean dip off the rosebuds of overrated pugs like Jones and Tyson.

That's to keep they man at the 🔝 he was old like Buddy said taking fights against a younger lion

@@shockadellick well stated shock i believe you word for word nice break down

Exactly

Leonard beat Benitez, Duran, Hearns and Hagler. Roy beat Hopkins, Toney, McCallum and Hill. Both are great boxers. Jones was gifted. More so even than Leonard. He had incredible natural speed and power even more than Ray had. Two phenomenal athletes as boxers. Ray was a much better boxer as far as how he boxed. Much better. Using the jab and movement and body shots, hooks, right hands, you name it. He slipped and blocked punches and was toughas nails. Jones could be hurt. He relied on his God given speed and power, more so than Ray did. Ray could take punches and come back and win. The young welterweigh Tommy Hearns is pound for pound better than any boxer Roy fought in his career. Duran P4P is the best of them all, IMO. Best lightweight, ever. Yet, Ray beat him well above lightweight. I think Ray is the slightly better boxer all around Than Jones, toughness, will to win even when you are behind going late into the bout like he was against Hearns. Also. Ray had a great chin, really. Camacho beat Ray when Ray was 40 years old long after his best days when he was mostly out of boxing for many years. Ray one of the best P4P boxers, ever. Duran and Leonard, a bit above the rest like Hopkins, Jones, Hearns, Toney, Benitez, etc.

IMO, that 84-inch sledge hammering jab would have kept Tyson in check.

IMO, that 84-inch sledge hammering jab would have kept Tyson in check.

In all fairness Roy in his prime made anyone look like lesser competition. The only person who beat Roy was himself. Dropping back down to fight Tarver you can see by his 3 straight losses.

Roy was a supreme athlete and a great boxer but Sugar Ray was a great athlete and a even greater boxer. It's a toss up for me. For sure Roy had the longer career with multiple division belts. Sugar Ray had tougher rivalries with Hagler, Hearns and Duran but Roy was so ahead of his peers he made them all look a steps behind.

Ray

Ray was the first ever non heavy weight to carry the sport, he literally became the face of boxing after Ali lost badly to Larry Homes in 1980. In 1981 Sugar Ray beat Tommy Hearns and became the face of boxing as a welterweight.

He beat Duran and made him quit after a tough 15 Round foghtb when Ray intentionally fought Duran style, he was retired for 5 years with only 1 fifht vs a prime 32 year old hagler who had not lost in 10 years, fought Camacho when he was 41.

Roy was better p4p

Nah Ray was still in his prime at middle weight

Can was gone 5 years. Came back kick ass

Nah Ray was 31

Why would u get on here and lie like that, like we all don’t have google

You did know that Roy actually went all the way to heavyweight and got a belt don't you? think about somebody Roy Jones jr. Size going all the way up to a heavyweight and getting a belt.Robinson best pound-for-pound fighter ever. Roy Jones has to be number two and usually is on almost everyone's list for pound-for-pound. Roy dominated boxing in his prime. No one would fight him so he kept moving up.

@@choice12ozborne You have a list where he is number 2 ever ,I’ve never seen one .Yeah the size thing is amazing but reverting back to my initial statement ,SRL fought ,Hagler ,Hearns Duran , ,Jones has Toney and maybe Hopkins you can mention in the same sentence .Im not saying Jones wouldn’t beat the greats Leonard fought ,I think he would have all three ,maybe Hearns would have given him the toughest fight with his style .Hagler v Jones would be impossible to call out, over 15 Hagler MAY have caught up with him but Jones had enough power and skill to keep him away too. Guess I’m guilty of remembering Jones late on and how his career went due to the weight gain then loss .But in his day I’d put him with ANYONE

Sure Sugar Ray Leonard fought Hagler, Duran, and Hearns; but he only fought 42 fights in total. What is Ray Leonard fought as heavyweight?

Plus like Ray Leonard it wouldn’t be the first time he beat up on a Mayweather

@rons2285 Ray and that era look to be very overextending a lot of times to the body and are very hesitant in most movements. They don't fight from range much,they leave themselves open a lot of times, and a lot of times they will just throw to the body and not protect themselves. the ray era They use mostly counters when up close. The lateral movement is very basic. They don't seem to be able to punch from range while doing it smoothly. They have to stop then punch most of the time. Their feet are mostly tiptoeing. these flaws are even seen in ray in his prime vs sammy,roy never showed those same outdated tech or flaws so like i said you madeup what you said from highlights,which means you're ver of ray is fiction,which doesn't matter,compared to the average 70s fighter ray and his era looked like novices,roy would run through him in the 1st based off of the real ray..... i just seen ray vs sam 5mins ago ago you're a liar,ray looks as i said he did you never even seen that video or have you seen semi full rounds from the other old ray...... keep exposing yourself,ray wasnt even as advanced as the average 70s fighter,where did you get the lies from highlights?

Untouchable cuz he fought nobodies Leonard beat the elite best of all time fighters .. hagler..hearns...Duran..benitez..these were some of the best in boxing history and Leonard beat them all...Roy's competition was nothing like leonards

Definitely wouldn’t have beat Hearns as good as Tony was he would have been too flat footed for Hearns who would have tore him apart with that jab dancing all around Toney which is the reason he lost to Roy because he hand problems getting on the line to be effective against Roy , Hearns was Taller just as agile (not to be confused with athleticism) and had a way longer reach then Roy Hearns might have slept Toney honestly
