Is there any MW/SMW/LHW is boxing history that beats a prime Roy Jones Junior?
Was at work discussing this and some old italian guys mentioned Vito Antuofermo could take him, to be honest i don't know much about him.....what do you guy's think?

I think Rocky Marciano could crack that chin at 175. It's not out of the realm of possibility for Marciano to make 175. They say he used to struggle to make heavyweight and would weigh in fully clothed with heavy stuff in his pockets to weigh 188.
Marciano would get outboxed until the late rounds. -
A lot of lhw beat Roy
Not a lot of SMW because its a pretty new division
At mw there is a handful of guys that would be competitive
Antufurmo has no chance vs prime royComment

I wouldn't pick anyone to beat him, to be honest.
I'd give Ezzard Charles and Bob Foster good shots at 175 but I still wouldn't pick them to win.Comment

Pfft,
Even though he soundly defeated James Toney, lets not forget that Toney himself wasn't his prime self when he faced him. Perhaps, the fight would've been different if it had happened at 175. Toney struggled making 168.
The one thing I notice about guys like Roy Jones and Mike Tyson is that they get coddled by fans. Fanboys always look out for them by pointing out when they were at their prime and when they weren't. What about the guys that they defeated, who weren't in their prime. Toney may have been "prime" age wise, but he was no longer a Prime SUPER-MIDDLEWEIGHT. His fat ass should have moved up a couple of fights prior to the RJJ fight.
SO MY ANSWER IS JAMES TONEY. The 12 round domination is not conclusive to write his abilities off. He has the skills necessary to beat Jones.Comment
