If these two guys fought each other during each other's prime, who would win?

Here is a clip of RJJr's skill: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nK8qH...ed&search=

I'm sure most of you know GSP

if they boxed, roy jones. easy KO.

if they mma'd, GSP. Easy takedown, followed by TKO or submission.

both with precentages nearing 100%. not really a hard question.

More interesting is if they did it under kickboxing rules. I'd still give an edge to RJJ in a kickboxing match.

GSP easily. Not even close. One dimensional fighters are just that. I'm sure Roy (as great a boxer as he was), never learned kicks/ju jitsu, submissions, wrestling, ect. George knows all of that stuff like the back of his hand and can transition from one to the other in the blink of an eye. No way in hell Roy would beat one of the top MMA fighters. I'd even say he loses to a lower class MMA fighter than George.

Roy Jones Jr would beat him in a rap battle though.

how about alternating rounds of boxing and MMA 1:30 rounds 30 rounds? Obv RJJ would just try not to get submitted in the MMA rounds and try to win every boxing round. Not sure who would win this... probably depends how good RJJ is at takedown defense.
