Marciano v RJJ..

Marciano usually only has one real criticism, he's small enough that people struggle to picture him beating SHW fighters (although he demonstrated in his career that being bigger than him wasn't enough to beat him).

But he knocked out Charles, Walcott and Moore. Neither are SHW sized fighters but all are similar in size to Jones Jr.

There is no real reasoning behind expecting Jones Jr to avoid being knocked out.

 

This is not John Ruiz. This is Rocky Marciano. When the Rock lands the fight is over.

 

Let's make it over 15 rounds.
Roy's flashy style, speed and reflexes can make Rocky look clumsy for a few rounds, but little by little and round by round, Marciano's power, stamina, workrate and relentless aggression will tell.
Roy's power won't bother Marciano too much and he'll be hitting Jones anywhere to the torso, arms, ribs, chest and be wearing him down. Roy won't be used to that. By the portion of the fight rounds 11-13 imo, Rocky's pressure and attritional punishment will likely finish Jones for the night.

 

This question isn't whether a prime Roy (not a geriatric Roy) can take Rocky's power shots (that will not be landing too often) but whether Marciano, the guy KD'd by two geriatrics, can take Roy's power. For all of Rock's supposed defensive wizardry, he face came out of these fights with these elderly gentlemen looking like week-old hamburger on special.

 

Agreed.

Marciano won't even touch him by that point.

RJJ doesn't need to take out Marciano, he's just dance around and outpoint him all night long.

 

Some very big assumptions. I'm going to go ahead and disagree with you.

Nobody that gets wrecked by Tarver can take Marciano's punches and come out of it vertical.

And RJJ is not going to dance around all night and not get touched.

Exhibit A: John Ruiz, noted as an exceptionally plodding and undynamic heavyweight, managed to land 89 punches on Jones. I'm pretty damn sure that Marciano, who is faster and much more active than Ruiz, will land a heck of a lot more.

 

RJJ would be far to skillful for Marciano.Wins a wide points decision

 

We are talking about prime vs prime here. Roy was past his best against Tarver and shading all that weight took a huge toll on his body.

What exactly is gonna prevent him from doing that ?!

And how many of those punches were power punches ?!
Plus there's no proof whatsoever that Marciano is faster than Ruiz. And Marciano won't enjoy a height and reach advantage over Roy like Ruiz did.
Roy will make Marciano look like a bufoon

 

How you mean there's 'no proof'? Do you not have eyes or something?

 

How does Canelo vs Jones Jr go?

Imo Canelo is far too modern for Jones.

Canelo knocked out Kovalev when he was world champion and arguably number 1 in the division.

Boxing has moved on in the last 20/30 years and Jones will not be able to avoid the technique of a modern puncher like Canelo.

Canelo by brutal knockout.

 

You make him sound like a scorpion.

 

Well Cinnamon is a renowned scorpion repellent lol

 

Which is ironic since El Alacrán is actually the best Mexican right now.

 

Jones would be left unconscious on the canvas with his brittle Glass Jaw shattered into a thousand shards.
