    Prime 1998 RJJ, Jr, dropped out of a time machine in 1894.

    15 rounds. 10 oz gloves.

    If Roy wins the champeenship, how long does he keep it?

    Roy by whatever he wants at any point he wishes to do it. He then defends the title as many times as he wants in whichever manner he chooses.

    His kangaroo left corkscrew punch becomes the talk of the town.

    Why would they be fighting 15 rounds with 10oz gloves in 1894?

    I reckon Jones probably goes on to mimick the career of Corbett in terms of big fights.

    He'll lose to Fitz and Jeffries, probably beat everyone else.

    Roy brought a rulebook and two pairs of gloves with him. Might as well put them to use.

    Dear The Seamus,

    Now this is my kind of autism! I think that Corbett would find Roy's chin and then we would hear the shattering of glass! Corbett by vicious KO

    Jones beats Corbett by vicious ko in 12 then loses his title to Bob Fitz. Ahead on the cards, Roy gets to confident, drops his guard and Ruby Rob knocks him out cold.

    Corbett is an ATG at 175 with legendary skills. RJJ never fought anybody with his skills. Corbett stops him early.

    He is an ATG, but he's more of a cruiserweight than a LHW tbh.

    I'd probably argue Hopkins and Toney are more skilled and accomplished than Corbett.

    I might even go as far as to say Tarver was just as good, if not better than Corbett also.
