Yet you haven't actually seen Moorer at Lightheavyweight plus his opposition was terrible. And Spinks wasn't a massive puncher he had 18 stoppage wins out of his 27 wins at Lightheavyweight.Quote:

Spinks was an awkward fighter, he would give Jones problems, but its hard to go against the Jones that beat Virgil Hill.Quote:

He knocked out tomato can's, so we can't really say how hard he does hit because he never faced one good opponent at Lightheavyweight. Roy Jones had a high KO percentage at Lightheavyweight beating good quality fighters.Quote:

If there was ever an unbeatable figher it was prime Roy Jones Jr., but I still see slick defensive fighters giving him a hard time, I think he was so used to hitting opponents so easily that guys like Montell Griffin gave him a hard time when he couldn't easily hit the target, in their first fight, now put Mayweather in there and he does everything way better than Montell, and I could see how this situation could be different, but once against Roy wasn't a natural 175pounder, and 160 or 168 was more his prime weights though he became his best IMO at the 175 in terms of countering, accuracy and timing. If he would have stayed at the lower weights there is nobody I could see beating him, guys like Mayweather he would probably overwhelm because at the lower weights he didn't mind not landing punches like against Toney, he just continued firing combinations and using lateral movement with a million punching angles(talking p4p for Mayweather-Jones). Leonard at middleweight wasn't as quick or strong, but his jab and slick movement would have made this interesting. If you are talking prime Hagler vs the Jones that fought Hopkins then Hagler would probably win, but if we are talking them fighting at 168 when Jones was at lhw then I say Hagler doesn't stand a chance. He wouldn't get blown out of the water but Jones would confuse him, and stagger him with punches that would come at times he would never except, this fight would look like Mayweather-Hatton but go 12 rounds. Ezzard Charles, Archie Moore, were all good slick boxers, but they all would have lost to Jones. I think ezzard or Billy Conn had the best chance, but they still weren't quite good enough.
Archie Moore or Holyfield at Cruiser, Hagler, Robinson, or Michal Spinks or Dwight Muhammad Qawi, all woulda given Roy problems, maybe beaten him. I'd pick Roy to beat em all though. He's the greatest fighter who ever lived.

And for someone that said who would trouble Roy not knock Roy out well knocking him out is strugling and Spinks and Moorer would do it to him.
And yes i have seen Moorer at LHW he was a devasting puncher and beat everyone he had and 26 wins 26 kos he had power in him. Also Spinks had 26 wins and 19 kos so the which is not that bad of a Ko percentage considering roy had 21 fights 9 kos which is way lower and peopel said he had power at the weight. And Roy chin once he got caught did not go so well and Spinks has more power then Taver and Spinks could catch Roy at LHW during any time in his career so that is why i believe he coudl Ko him and if we are going 15 rounds it is even more likly to happen.
