    Say that RJJ comes into the ring weighing 176-185 lbs against these guys. How does he do?

    Lee Savold
    Bernie Reynolds
    Harry Matthews
    Roland LaStarza
    Rex Layne
    Don Cockell

    Even Rex Layne? I'd need to see that to believe it.

    Rex was a slow-twitch plodder who hated to train. Roy catches him until he is gone.

    What about the other ones? Surely you don't think he could survive that gauntlet undefeated?

    Yeah, I know. It took a lot of reflection and contemplation but I'm going to pick Roy to waste the lot.

    I would favor him to beat all those dudes. Some might give him a fight though.

    Rex Layne had the punching power to put RJJ to bed.

    I don't know about "easily". He'd definitely have to put in a lot of effort.
