Roy Jones jr. vs. Emanuel Augustus

[master of read]

two of the flashiest, most unpredictable boxers to ever step in the ring.

roy takes on the drunken master himself. 15 rounds. weight equalized.

who wins?

I’d take Roy pretty easily. Drunken Master was awesome but Roy at his best has more speed, punching power, and his own unorthodox style. Augustus lost some questionable decisions but Roy left no question as to who the victor was in his fights.

Yeah, as tough as Augustus could be, Jones Jr. is one of the best pound-for-pound fighters of all time and Augustus is a mere journeyman.

Sure, Jones Jr. has lost more fights than he should have, but that's because he fought LONG past his prime - hell, he was still fighting until last year when he was 49 (and he STILL only lost 9 fights in total).

Augustus lost like 30+ times in a similar number of fights - many of which were when he was in his "prime".

Floyd Mayweather might have said Augustus was one of his toughest opponents, but it doesn't change the fact he's not in the same league as him in terms of skill/class. Same goes for him versus Jones Jr.

One more for Captain Hook. Same reasons as above.
