Maybe at 160, because that was the first 3 years of Jones' career so the inexperience factor of 160 Jones would definitely come into play if you were stacking him up against true career middleweights.

But at 168 to 175? Not a chance. Unfortunately people seem to judge Roy on the past 10 years while he was washed up and fighting to get out of tax debt. They see that he's been knocked out a bunch of times, some by relatively weak punchers like Glen Johnson, and come to the conclusion that, "hey, if Glen Johnson could knock him out, a KO artist like Archie Moore or Bob Foster would have killed him!"

People unfortunately forget how freakishly good Jones was in his prime. This was a guy with maybe the greatest reflexes in boxing history, a guy who was incredibly fast of hand and feet, and had legit one-punch KO power in each hand. That's another thing people forget. Roy wasn't a guy to take risks and try to chase a KO, but if he saw and opening or had a guy hurt he could close the show with deadly precision.

Anyone from 168-175 in the history of boxing gets eaten alive by Jones. He was truly one of a kind.
