Mosley did get in on Winky though ... many times especially in the second fight. I understand against a tall good jabber its hard to get in, but Roy Jones Jr. given enough time would have killed Hearns once he found the distance. His fights with Tarver look at the first round of the second fight he was getting in whenever he wanted, and in any of the fights when he went in he hit. A good jab can only hold a extraordinary counterpuncher at pay for so long.
No way Taeth - Jones would have spent a career avoiding Hearns !!!! If they did fight, Tommy would npt have given him time to find his range, he would have wrecked him within 3.

Jones on the floor ...... sparko
