If RJJ had an off night in his prime, who would he most likely lose to.....
Benn (low style, gets under punches, difficult to catch, body shots, hooks & uppercuts in close)
Eubank (incredibly slippery & awkward to nail, fights at range, good stiff jab, good lead right)
Mcclellan (good speed & range, good mover who tries to outjab before planting feet, great left to body)
Liles? (not seen much of)
Rocchigiani (premature stoppages against Maske & Michalczewski while winning those fights? tall southpaw if i remember from Nunn fight, upright & awkward, european busy-busy style with durability)
Michalczewski? (not seen much of)
Griffin third fight?
Or who else can u think of,?
all those guys could have prolly beat
him on his on nite. but roy never gave
those guys a shot.

Out of those guys he listed, I think only Benn, Eubank and G-Man would of beaten him. But the 89-90 McCallum beats the 93-94 Jones Jr quite handily, 87-88 Kalambay beats him too and the Graham that fought Kalule would of humiliated Jones Jr, 87-88 Nunn beats Jones Jr by wide UD.
If you want to see RJJ lose on an off night, You'd have to go back to guys like Marvin Hagler and Thomas Hearns. RJJ was light years ahead of the opponents he faced (ex: Vinny Paziena). RJJ could step in the ring w/ the flu, and still dominate like he did.
****** statement. You even admit that Jones fought the ****test opposition available too? WTF, I don't get that.

so, you're basically saying that if jones wasn't a boxer he'd be a bouncer in pensacola with 3 kids from 3 different women
