It would take a special toughness to endure Jone's power to land his own. I would count on his toughness. Jones punches harder, Monzon has a better chin. They are able to knock each other out. It would come down to whether he was able to land anything for all his efforts. He will have to punch every time Jones moves forward, without waiting for him to do anything. If you waited for Jones to do something, it happened too fast to react efficiently. Firefight. Monzon had a great defense, but I think his offense would have to be his defense in this fight. If he can hit while being hit, I feel he should win, due to more heart and durability.

For me, either Hagler or Robinson. I choose Marvin since Sugar was generally considered his best at welter and middleweight was Marvin's territory.

One can see scenerios where greb can deal with most other guys...I mean while we can question if hagler of Monzon could find Jones, there is no doubt in my mind that Greb presses on and tests Roy like the later guys did, you just can't avoid the guy the entire fight aint gonna happen. But alas we don't have enough to really reconstruct Greb like we can some of the other guys mentioned....props to Greb
Ray Robinson is going to hit Roy Jones. There is no one he cannot hit. What happens when he does is up for debate, but hit him he will. That goes for the other greats too. They did not stand around marveling at their opponents' speed. They came to fight, and Roy Jones would be forced to fight with them IMO.
Are there actually guys walking around who figure what Jones did to shoe clerks he will do to other ATGs?

For #1 I pick SRR. #2 is very debatable. Could be Hagler, Monzon or Greb. Problem is I don't know nearly enough about Monzon or Greb to really make that call.
