Jones was very selective in who he fought I don't see him beating a lot of fighters in their primes I believe a fight with hagler would have gone something like his fight with bernard was going in the later rds, bernard was catching him repeatedly and could have won in my opinion had it been a 15 rd fight, but he only decided to apply that type of pressure in the later rds, hagler would have been on him like a cheap suit from the opening bell until he got him out of there.
Roy was also dropped by very limited fighters in his prime, the problem was just that, they were very limited fighters, he was knocked cold by lesser fighters a little later in his career, it is no secret that roy avoided big punchers maybe he knew something we didn't know, that his chin very suspect.
Tyson, I would have to agree with you here, the prime mike was a defensive and offensive machine who was very difficult to hit, a very accurate and dangerous counter puncher, he had a world class chin, had the speed of a welterweight, incredible stamina, a great finisher, ko power in either hand and the list goes on.
In his prime he would have been very difficult to beat I hear people talk about joe louis a lot but I believe a prime tyson would have slaughtered him, joe was flat footed and just a sitting duck with limited defense, he would have been overwhelmed in my opinion, tyson would have been to fast, explosive and powerful for him, a prime tyson would have feasted on the klits in my opinion, I dont see anyone beating a prime tyson maybe with the exception of a prime cassius clay, and I say clay because that was ali at his very best.
