    With the 24 hour weigh-ins, it's harder to rate him against guys with same day weigh-ins. Yes, Jones can make 160 but how well does he fight being dehydrated or whatever state it took him to make weight?

    I would make both Bob Foster and Michael Spinks slight-to-mild favorites over Roy Jones at 175.

    Same thing with Dwight Qawi, only Roy is the slight favorite in this case. A Qawi win wouldn’t surprising me but I’m still picking Roy by decision a tough fight.

    You can't say that with such certainty either for: Usyk, Ali, 1988 Tyson, Lewis... beats all of your cruiserweights & heavyweights

    This guy's a prima donna. He thinks Galento would beat Lennox Lewis.

    They had weigh ins the day before the fight during Jones era ??? He didn't do same day weigh ins, boxing with modern rules started in the 80s
