whats your opinion

I think he would.

[The Surgeon]

He lost to him in the amatueres but i think he would get the win in the pro's. Gerald had more than a punchers chance tho!

[Nacho_Analstain]

i think the question should be would roy jones jr have beaten gerald mcclellan

[The Raging Bull]

McClellan had a punchers chance in any fight he was in, but I think Roy Jones Jr would be on top form in this fight and overawe him with his speed.

Agreed. McClellan was a phenomenal knock-out artist, but was also a good boxer. However, by the time he came to fight Nigel Benn he was too reliant on getting the job done early. He was ill-prepared for when the early knock-out never materialised. This kind of mentality would have done him no favours against Roy Jones Jnr, but like The Raging Bull says, there's always that punchers chance with a fighter like Gerald McClellan.

Jones would be too good to get knocked trough the ropes, and take Gman late, and outbox him.

[The Noose]

I know alot of people believe Mclellan would of beaten Jones.
I think it is almost a 50/50 fight.

At Supermiddle Jones reflexes were amazing, he never got hit much, and his speed and power would keep opponents off. But from wat ive seen McClellan had a granite chin. He took flush power shots from Benn and Jackson without flinching.
He could take anything Jones threw at him, and i think if he caught Jones with a clean shot he would KO him.
Jones often let opponents push him back on the ropes and he'd cover up and counter. Im not sure he could take McClellans shots.
Benn moved his head and ducked punches making it difficult for McClellan to land.

Ive always thought Jones untouchable at his best, but if one man could destroy Jones.

[Brockton Lip]

I think McCellan would knock him out late, hes very underrated by most people and I think he'd be able to manage against rjj's speed.

[GEOFFHAYES]

Manny Steward insists that McClellan would of beaten Jones every time, and after the Tarver and Johnson fights hinted personally to somebody that it would of been an easy fight!

He feels McClellan developed speed at Kronk on par with Jones, but with better timing and heavier hands.
