    For example, P. Williams is clearly the last man PBF would want to fight.

    Likewise, RJJ would want to steer clear of Kessler.

    Almost everyone at 122, you'd have to imagine, would prefer not to fight Caballero.

    All your favorites are avoiding mine, due to stylistic issues.

    How many ways can the same thread be rephrased?

    Your point on caballero is well-taken however, too awkward for too little money

    Agreed and no shame in that. Who would want to fight a lanky, volume punching southpaw with a dependable chin? :lol:

    Roy Jones is almost 39 years old. If he were the same age as Kessler, Kessler would be a sparring partner.

    Did you SEE Caballero's last fight? Why would anyone want to fight that guy? Goes to show how piss poor fundamentally Pounced On De Leon is to lose to a guy like that.

    :lol: If Roy looks good beating Tito then Roy even has a shot at beating Kessler now.

    some of you guys are dumb. Kessler's jab and straight right hand, and solid fundamentals, not to mention his counter-punching abilities, and quick on the trigger right hands are a night-mare for an improv guy like RJJ.

    so fk all y'all. even a prime RJJ would have a lot of trouble with Kessler. RJJ was never the type like Sloppy to take the risks that Sloppy needed to take to win that fight.

    Kessler would never have been a "sparring partner" for RJ

    As already mentioned, Kessler would have been a sparring partner. An easy night's work for RJJ. I'm guessing you've never seen a Prime RJJ fight? :dunno:

    Kessler wouldn't have even beaten a 168lb James Toney let alone have a prayer against Mr Jones! :nono:

    Seriously i don't see how Kessler has a style that would give Roy any kind of problems. This is another rediculous thread from a guy who hates Roy Jones.

    Kessler is a poor man's pavlik.


    Roy in his prime would toy with and destroy Kessler

    right now... ? Not sure..

    even after Roy destroys Tito.. (And he WILL destroy Tito)

    I dont think he should fight high energy guys cuz he's kinda getting slower and olders..

    Tito will plod around and Roy will have his way with him though

    And this is coming from the same dude that claimed that Julio Gonzalez would give Roy Jones trouble. I'll Holla 5000

    Yes sir. He swore up and down about how Julio was Roy's worst nightmare stylistically. That couldn't have been farther from the truth.

    And I agree why are so many people annointing Kessler. He fought an older slower Calzaghe and couldn't do shit with his hand speed. How would he have handled the great speed of Roy. I'll Holla 5000

    PBF/Cotto

    Just refer back to PBF/Castillo I. It's obvious he wants no part of Cotto and never will. I cant blame him. He's simply trying to preserve his record.

    Yo! Mayweather dominated Corley and was only shaken for an INSTANT before firing stright back and having Corley on the defensive and hurt. Cotto was in ALL SORTS OF TROUBLE!

    Are you telling me that you can't see the difference?

    Floyd will stay away from Williams, but if williams was smart he would get Cintron's belt and yell into every mic that he is the real WW champ. Go to every Floyd press conference, pretty much what Tarver did to get the fight with Roy. I don't like Tarver, but he embarassed Roy at the post fight after Ruiz. Williams needs to do the same to Floyd. Floyd is an ego-maniac. Being called a punk in front of his camp and cameras will get him in the ring.

    Kessler isnt a style problem for Jones. He'd kick Roy's ass only because Roy is a shell of his past self. I like Kessler, but a prime Jones would fuck him up badly! Hell, a prime Toney would fuck Kessler up.

    You're probably right. he wouldn't have travelled to Pensacola to take daily ass kickings.

    Kessler had trouble with Mundine for Christ sake! Calling Mundine a homeless man's RJ is an understatement. A prime Roy would wipe his ass with Mikkel. Shit I dont even think it would take a PRIME Roy. The pre-Ruiz Jones would whup Kessler's ass.
