    Bob Foster and Michael Spinks for sure at 175. Possibly Moore and Charles, but I'm not sure how they would handle his speed.

    At 160, I'd take Hagler for sure (Jones was still a little green at 160). Robinson and Monzon have a good chance, though Jones's speed would be problematic for Monzon, and his power and athleticism would be problematic for Robinson. It's possible that a slick boxer like Kalambay or the mw Leonard could pose problems for Jones, but he would probably overcome them.

    At 168, no-one lays a glove on him.

    Moorer, Spinks, Hagler all have a decent chance. Don't know enough about the old timers to make a decision on them. Ottke probably beats him if the fight's in Germany.

    Foster
    Spinks
    Moorer
    Moore
    Charles
    Hagler

    all KO Roy Jones.

    Calzaghe would beat him at 168. Jones is not and was never the unbeatable fighter the nuthuggers make him out to be. All it takes is one punch on that fragile Glass Jaw and he is done. Sure Roy looked good fighting against off duty police officers, bartenders, and sanitation workers. Anyone would look good against those guys Jones was fighting.

    Hes the only one at 168 who'd have a chance,but he'd still probably lose.

    sometimes i like to make useless posts without knowing anything about a fighter to. but seriously in his PRIME we'll never know for sure but my breakdown of those six...

    spinx-awkward, small chance to outpoint
    moorer-stupid, he didn't even beat cab drivers, he barely beat cab drivers younger sisters. we'll never know how good he couldn've been
    moore-WAY too fast for moore.
    charles-50/50 fight. Probably best light heavy ever
    hagler-possible, 70/30 for roy based on speed
