RJJ was always susceptible to the straight right, IMO.

McClellan/RJJ like Frazier/Norton would of been a pick-em just on the intangible of both knowing each so well, because they were good friends.

I would not like to of called it; so: McClellan at 160: RJJ at 168...this fence is rather comfortable
Roy was susceptible to the straight right?!?! Since when? Versus WHO?

Roy would have beat the shit outta G-Man....G-Man was mean but he wouldn't touch up a PRIME Roy
Totally agreed again! Roy was just about touching his prime when Benn beat McClellan and was still knocking a lot of guys out around then. In fact the only people he wasn't knocking out were the likes of Toney and Hopkins who are great defensive boxers and virtually impossible to knockout, anyone who just came forward round after round like McClellan did would have been knocked out as Roy is one of the hardest if not the hardest puncher I've ever seen at middle/supermiddleweight and he was almost impossible to catch cleanly plus when you put his handspeed into consideration there surley can only be one outcome Jones KO.
Also I knew that McClellan was injured going into the fight with Benn, if I remember rightly he had a blood clot on his brain before the fight (apparently) and it burst during the fight. This travesty should never have happened for a number of reasons and I don't like to hear the G-Mans sisters blaming Benn but when G-Man knocked Benn out of the ring Benn should have been DQ'd because he was helped back into the ring by the ringside observers which is against the rules "Any Pugilist knocked from the ring to the outside must return to the ring unaided" had this rule been followed Gerald may well now be leading a normal life as doctors after the fight should have found the Clot and G-Man would have had to retire.
Going back to the Jones-Gerald "fantasy match" though, I think I better get in that I know G-Man beat Jones as an amateur when they were kids but believe me he would have had slim to no chance as a pro.
