Old George Froeman vs Heavyweight Roy Jones 12 rounds?

At featherweight! Kidding of course, but I always wondered about this as a what if match.

Can Roy prove he's Superman even at heavyweight? Or is George big enough to make Captain Hook look like a Jr meal?

Bonus #1 come up with your own tag line

Bonus #2 Does the result differ over 15?

    Big George takes this one. Roy Jones Jr would have an advantage in speed but that's about it. Foreman would have every other advantage. Jones Jr weighed 193lbs for his only heavyweight fight, whereas George in his comeback sometimes weighed in at over 250lbs. Jones Jr fought John Ruiz who was a good fighter but by no means great, that does not put him in the same bracket as even an old Foreman in my opinion. I think that this would be similar to Foreman vs Moorer, only it would end sooner in my opinion. Jones Jr has the speed to outbox Foreman but however much slower Foreman was he would be bound to catch up with Jones sooner or later. Jones Jr as we know has been knocked out at light heavyweight and Foreman even past 40 was an all time great puncher so in my opinion it would only take one from him to end it. Foreman KO8.

    B1: "Can Jones break the old guys bones or will Big George beat Jr like he was his daddy?"

    B2: No because I doubt it would go that far.

    i think roy jones could do what tommy morrison did and out box big george from outside ,but if George landed it would be all over for roy but i pick jones on points

    big george would have been too big for jones jr, just as the exceptional dwight qwai was. foreman in 2 rounds.

    jones jr would try to outbox foreman,but he would get caught with one of those big george foreman punches.
