Pretty much just proves that once Roy dropped the weight he wasn't the same fighter. The haters won't agree but its fact. You can tell Roy's body was done how damaged he got the first Tarver fight. He never bruised up like that before. The weight drop affected his immune system and nervous system. Also accelerated his aging at that age.
Does prime Roy Jones Jr. have a chance against prime Sugar Ray Robinson?

nobody can really say what would happen, but he most certainly has a chance. RJJ is one of the most physically gifted boxers in the history of the sport.

Roy Jones for the win by decision Roy before the weight loss was on a whole another level and as great as Sugar Ray was Roy would have a serious problem for him
really I see Sugar stopping him if Roy tries to sit down in front of him

With all due respect to Floyd, Roy jones junior is the most athletically gifted, talented fighter I have ever watched with my own two eyes. At his very best he has a chance to beat anyone as long as the weight is equal.

I'd take Manny's word for it that G-Man (under Manny's tutelage) would beat Roy
he couldn't even beat benn, not that hes(benn) terrible , but roy would win im sure.

When sparring G-man and RJJ it's been documented by Iceman Sculley that Roy's punches affected G-man after those sessions. So I think as pro's it could go either way.
fair enough
