    Bob Foster, Ezzard Charles and Michael Moorer would not be guaranteed wins for Jones, for starters.

        Contrary to popular belief he HAS BEEN HIT in his prime and took the punches fine... By Nard, Toney, Griffin, Mccallum, Hill... they all hit him.

        A 230lb John Ruiz hit him with flush right hands consecutively in the first round... HE TOOK THEM.... JUST..... FINE.
        Yep. I agree with this. Here's prove.....

          No way Jones is better than Ezzard Charles. While I think Jones is better than Michael Spinks I'd still favor Spinks head to head as I feel he'd be a stylistic nightmare for Jones.

              Instead you post a video of 41 year old Roy Jones... Brilliant.
              I wouldn't bother debating with Battling Nelson. The guy refuses to acknowledge the greatness of modern fighters and nuthugs the older ones, he can't accept that sometimes the modern guys would beat the old timers. Case in point, he tried to argue Battling Nelson would beat Floyd Mayweather, and that Joe Gans would beat Floyd under today's rules.

              I'm suprised he even uses the internet, I would have thought that would be too "modern" for him.

              He probably still thinks the sun and planets revolve around the earth, and that if you sail too close to the edge you will fall off.

                Ezzard Charles was one of the finest fighters p4p I've ever seen.

                  Check out this classic instead:

                  Wow, post a video of the guy getting embarrassed in his 40's. That really makes a point. Someone could just as easily post one of Charles' or someone elses losses at the end of his career.

                  For the record, Roy wouldn't beat every LHW ever, there's too many good fighters there to go through them all without a loss, but as usual on here we get the resident dinosaurs saying he gets knocked out in a round by all of them.

                    RJJ was a fantastically talented fighter I personally like him at SMW.
                    He was impressive at LHW but his resume at that weight pales against a lot of names that have been thrown up here.
                    I think the fellow that said he would make up a good super 6 tournament might have it near enough.
                    I think Charles, Tunney, Moore, Spinks have his measure, I'd have him in the Moorer and Foster bracket.
                    He'd give any fighter a fight tho
