    Bob Foster would have beat him and dont even go there with Archie Moore.

    Moore gets totally under-rated because he fought 15yrs too long but in his peak with his work-rate would have stopped Jones mid fight. Jones could not fight 3mins of a round and when ever he fought a guy with skill and work-rate (which was rare) he either lost or had a real tough fight.

    For skills its Jones but no work-rate, no-jab and no-chin.

    3rd or 4th.

    Athletecism a lot of the time is judged as skill and to a degree it is. But theres an uderlying Form Jones didnt have or the competition in depth. Never the less I enjoyed Roy. I remember the first Griffith Fight Montell gave him problems. Old school was Griffith, but not in the League of Charles and Co. I dont think Moore improved with age The competition got easier, Moore sort off admitted it.

    Moore in his mid 20s-mid 30s would make Jones his bitch.

    The way he put his shots together is a joy to watch a Joe Louis clone with footwork.

    Griffith gave him problems cuz Roy let him by laying on the ropes. As the fight went on Giffith was clearly on his way to being KO'd.

    Right well Toney, Hopkins, Hill, Pazienza, McCallum and Reggie Johnson all had skill and workrate but I don't remember Roy having too much trouble with them.

    Hopkins never had work-rate, Toney was a counter puncher/boxer McCallum was 40yo Hill, Pazienza, Johnson would hold Moores jock strap. Or anyone decents strap sorry those are Roys best wins? i think you need a history lesson son.

    I have a lot of respect for Archie Moore. But I think that Roy would have beaten him, thats just my opinion nothing to do with my boxing knowledge DAD.
