As much as I like to always pull for Hagler in "what if" bouts Jones could have been a very confusing fight for him. I could see Roy pot shotting Hagler for 12 to get a decision but with his chin issues he would have to stay out of Hagler's way which would be easier to do for roy than what sugar ray did given what I perceive to be his size and reach advantage...I could be talking out of my ass though....maybe roy wouldn't be able to stay out of range the whole fight...leonard couldn't...I don't think roy's chin is on par with leonard's even though I wouldn't exactly say he has a glass chin. It's not like Tarver and johnson farted on him and knocked him out....they both put a good amount of stank on their punches.
The way I see it is, you can have fantasy fights and people can argue over the result for nearly every fight unless you throw a prime Jones into the mix. From 160-175 I'd say Hagler or Moore would come the closest to beating him but I'd still favor Jones.
