    i think james toney would beat roy jones at light heavy all day long. i know he lost at super middle, but he later said he didnt train that hard and if you watch the fight roy just runs the whole fight and toney is never hurt.( the silly slip which is always on highlight reel knockouts that is just poor doesnt count ) also i think anyone with a decent chin who can deal with roys left hook would stand a good chance: joe calzaghe, aurthur abraham, kelly pavlik, hopkins ect.

    i would love to see hagler vs roy jones, just to see how good roy was either at middle or supermiddle.

      I think it's the first but am a bit to lazy to look through the papers at that particular timeperiod. I think the point I tried to make was getting through; Jones resumé is lacking.
      He offered Benn and Eubank, specifically, career-high offers.

        You avoid something that's coming at you. If it's not coming at you, you are not avoiding it. By definition.

          Funny though how today, when there is finally Worldwide competition, the U.S. no longer dominates.
          There's always been worldwide competition. The problem you're having is that Europe is the minor leagues. That's why by definition a Euro fighter can't be "ducked": It's like saying the New York Yankees are ducking the Toledo Mudhens.

            What was that? A career high 90-10 split?

            And when was that?

            Basically you're saying that Benn and Eubank ducked Jones.

              So none of the others wanted Jones then?

                Is that any different from what you're saying?

                  You tell me, since you seem to be convinced they were.

                      Bob Foster knocks him out clean and Archie Moore Cracks him to another dimension. Other then them 2, i see Jones having a shot at winning but he didn't fight any great or very good fighters at light heavy. And the ones he did fight he lost too when he was passed his very best or past his prime. Tarver, Johnson, and Calzaghe. I believe Spinks would tear him up too.
