Re: Who could beat Roy Jones?
The evidence is patchy when Jr is not dominating.
A brilliant front runner, the fights in his prime where he was not dominating were ugly. Lucas was a poor performance, and the first fight with Griffin hurts his credentials.
You have to figure even if he found a way to win he will have moments when he is not dominating, and that would suggest he could be in real trouble. In the modern era Monzon, Hagler, Spinks perhaps even Qawi could of caused him some real problems and I doubt he comes out of them four fights 4-0...
Also the other factor is a bit of a cruel one, his chin did let down badly at times. Yes he was past his pomp, but the greats tend to lose on points, not get poleaxed by Tarver and Glen Johnson when the magic had gone...
So once again you look at the seventies, eighties and early 90s Middleweight bombers and think Briscoe, Mugabi, Hearns and Jackson could of led to a bad defeat. And at Light Heavyweight Foster, both the Muhammad's, Marvin Johnson and perhaps even Lalonde could cause chaos if they catch Jones.
