    I'd go with Haye by knock out, but then I really like him as a fighter and was never too fond of Jones. One things for sure, Haye wouldn't stand admiring Jones pose and feint for 2:30 of every round like Ruiz did. Could Jones stop Haye landing anything significant? I say no.

    Now, Haye KO in 3 rounds or less.

    Then, i'd probably take Jones by UD or late stoppage but it's not an easy call because we only saw Roy fight once above 175 and the jury is still out on Haye.

    Haye landing that big right was a possibility, since he is no slow-ass John Ruiz, but jones, when confident and before his decline, was just too smart in the ring. I think Jones outpoints Haye.

    Could Haye stop Jones landing - we have all seen Hayes chin in action. Interesting matchup.

    Good point. But then, I don't think Jones would be much of a banger at 200lb. If I was writing up the odds for this fight where my money was on the line I'd probably make Jones a slimmish but clear favourite. But I'll pick Haye here because it's a much more fun visualization!:atu:

    I guess so but with Jones at his best his speed would finish of Haye - You don't need to have monster power in order to see the advertisement on Hayes boots.
