Originally posted by The Surgeon View PostYeah i know and again let me stress the respect i have for Hagler, but i just think Roy would wins stylistically. Cotto my favourite fighter today beats guys bigger, stronger and faster than himself so i know where u guys are coming from.
In a 15 rounder do you think that Roy still wins?

15 rounds id give the edge to Hagler but i think Jones could do 15 rounds pretty good

Roy's tendency to fight on the ropes wouldn't help him either, when Hagler got you there, you were taking some serious punishment.

Originally posted by The Surgeon View PostGood points. But i just see Jones more like Ray and the fight playing out more like Leonard vs Hagler than Hagler vs Hearns

Originally posted by young_robbed View Posthagler was badly faded... jones wouldn't be able to move forever, sooner or later that left hand is goin to connect on jones' chin.
Just my take man

Originally posted by mickey maloneThat just about sums it up really.. Langford, Greb, Tunney, Robinson, Moore, Charles, Foster, Spinks, Hagler, Leonard, Hearns, Monzon are all capable of upsetting Jones and i say 'upsetting' because i don't think many of those i've metioned would be the bookies favourite.
Just a thought, but if Del Valle put him down, what if the 175lb Michael Moorer got lucky?
Definitely in with a premium punchers chance, as would Stanley Ketchell.

Originally posted by The Surgeon View Post12 rounds - Jones can move all night. Sure a guy with skills like a Marvin Hagler is gonna connect but Roy never had any problems with his chin at those weights and Hagler was not a one punch guy, its gonna have to be sustained and i dont see it
Just my take man
