Eubank had some of the best skillz ive seen but was musclebound, had no stamina and hated boxing however he always found a way to win. Roy Jones also has some of the best skillz ive seen esp his leaping combos, bolo punches and ****! He was more of a hooker than Eubank but Eubank had a more beautiful jab and better uppercut, better movement too,,, how does this one pan out? Roy Jones great gifts but Eubank excellent reflexes, soooo awkward too and knew how to wind the pace down to how he like dit. But would Roy Jones work effectively trying to pressure the prat of prats? A pose fest or abit of a war?

JONES IN A LOP-SIDED/ONE-SIDED 15 RD DECISION.

P. S. I SEE THAT BLOGBABA LIKES TO GIVE FIGHTERS EXCUSES FOR LOSING.

It was Chris Eubank who transcended boxing, not Roy Jones. Ask Joe Bloggs in the street who Roy Jones is and they won't have a clue. Eubank on the otherhand was a household name all over the world, and he started it all- the ring entrances, the TV contracts, and he's the one who gave boxers a stand. As for anybody destroying Chris Eubank (of all people!!) with ease, you need your head tested. I do believe Roy Jones could have beaten Eubank, but destroy him? How?? Eubank would have made him look stupid for a few rounds, like he did everybody. Even in 1996 when Eubank was making his comeback, Roy didn't want a part of him saying "Chris gets nothing from me, when I was coming up trying to make a name for myself he wouldn't give me a shot. Oh but now he's at the end of his career he thinks he can make some money off Roy?? I don't think so." I also remember in 1993 that Roy said, rather arrogantly, that the only fighter who would give him problems was Eubank .. he also said in 93 "I know the way to beat Eubank" and I often wonder what his tactics would of been there

Eubank, at his best was a very good fighter. Roy Jones at his best had speed that has never before or since been seen in another fighter. Occasionally in sports an athlete transcends the sport, such as Michael Jordan, or Wayne Gretzsky. Jones was such an athlete, and in his prime the unearthly quickness he was blessed with made him all but invincible. For the relatively short time that Roy's reflexes were peaking in his career the boxing world was afforded a rare glimpse at true prodigy.

History may present an argument putting Roy Jones as a rival to Sugar Ray Robinson as the pound for pound best ever to lace up the gloves, although Rays competion will always set him above almost all boxers. The only reason the blogbaba will never rank Jones over Robinson overall is that Roy was so inhumanly fast in speed and reflex during his career that he never really needed to learn how to box. I will state it again for emphasis: ROY JONES WAS SO UNEARTHLY QUICK HE DIDN'T NEED TO LEARN HOW TO BOX. Of course he did learn how to box, but he never truly put the effort into the process that less gifted anthletes did, so when he aged, it happened instantly. One moment he was the best pound for pound fighter in the world, a blink of an eye later he was ordinary. Roy's defense, though out his career was based on his speed and quickness, not the traditional fundamentals trained into a fighter of average to above average ability, so when he aged, his lack of fundamental basics became exposed to a greater degree. It seemed to us that a Tarver left hook destroyed Roy, but the reality was father time just took away Roy's gift.

Roy would have destroyed Chris with ease had they had met when both were at their best.

Jones would take him aprt in 6 or 7. Eubank was a good fighter but he can be hit too. (Eubank and Nigel Benn was a good war) Roy is hard to hit, and Eubank would follow and get caught with combos.
