In their primes, who would win??

[TheBonger]

Roy Jones in his prime All day everyday. JT is way to wild and unrefined to get in there wit RJJ.

roy jones jr in his prime would be way way to fast for taylor, his speed power and movement is just way to much for him to handle rjj would have ko'd taylor, shit rjj was to much for any one to handle for the longest time

[billbrasky]

Not even close. RJJ would have picked apart Taylor. RJJ combo of speed and power at 160 and 168 was unheard of

I honestly think it's too early to give an accurate assessment. Taylor is still raw potentional right now. Allow him a few years to see how/if he develops. Remember this is the guy that twice beat BHop, one of the most technical fighters in the sport, BEFORE he had Emmanuel Stewart training him. And then fought Winky, #3 on several P4P lists, to a draw. We should really wait and see how/if Taylor can refine his technique before answering because that’s what he would have to rely on to beat Jones, who is unquestionably better as far as straight natural ability.
