Roy Jones Jr. vs. Corrie Sanders (2003)

[EdwardRevolver1993]

I recently found out that this fight was discussed back in 2003 after Roy's win over Ruiz and Sanders' win over Klitschko. They didn't come to an agreement (money issue, apparently) and Roy took the Tarver fight at 175.

But who would've won, had Jones-Sanders happened?

It could take Corrie literally only one well-placed shot to the chin to put Roy away. On the other hand, Corrie was often a 4-round fighter. Fascinating fight, imo.

Or Sanders by KO 2-4 or RJJ by UD

Sanders is dangerous as hell for the first 4 or 5 rounds of the fight, and I think Roy would be wise to be more defensive and careful in those opening rounds. If he survived that threat, he'd take over and dominate the 2nd half of the bout.

I think Sanders would catch him though. He had pretty quick hands, and lesser hitters than that knocked out Roy on more than one occasion.
