    Let's put it like this: What can Leonard do that Roy Jones can't do better?

      Jones had a size advantage, but was relatively inexperienced at MW. He had a ton of experience against southpaws, but most of that was later on, at 168 and 175.

      I think much of this depends on what kind of style Hagler elects to fight in. If he fights in his usual more patient boxing style, I think Roy still has the incredible speed, reflexes, and smarts to win a decision. If Hagler fights in the ultra aggressive manner he did against Hearns, his chances increase and he can definitely pick that one.

        Very good point, but some people think Hagler won that fight. And, that wasn't even a prime Hagler. Also would it be a 12 or 15 round fight. Make no mistake there was a reason why Leonard wanted a 12 round fight and not go 15 with Hagler.

              He has a better chin then Roy.

              RJJ wins a UD. But he has to works for it.

                it's a hard fight to pick. On paper jones physical attributes should win. But if Hagler realyl really brings his A game and chases Jones around the ring it could get ugly fast. Jones has a slight size advantage, but not a huge one. Hagler has a longer reach. Remember Hearns was damn near 6'2, Jones is about 5-10-5-11 with a 74 reach.

                  Leonard also kept his hands up.
