Fair comments, but I do think the weight gain/drain had something to do with his legs going. Don't think Tarver would've sparked THAT Roy,. put it that way.
Marciano got outboxed for long periods by Walcott and Charles. Jones is twice as fast as both and harder to hit. Marciano would have a hard time landing, even if it goes to the ropes, those slow shots are going ot be rolled out the way of Jones would also land some brutal counters on Marciano who is so comparatively slow RJJ really would tee off with his best shots. If Moore/Walcott floor the Rock then RJJ could also do so. Rocky's chance is to outmuscle and outwork Roy on the ropes and gradually breaking him down to score either a late KO or close UD victory
And Archie Moore wouldn't be able to deal with Jones power, he got ko'd by a novice in his prime, ko'd by MWs and beat up by WWs. RJJ is the elite puncher of his time from MW-LHW Archie also wouldn't land on Jones, far too slow. Now Charles I would pick over Jones
Jones was brilliant at his best, but I don't think he is winning this one against Rocky. Middle to late round ko win for Marciano.
Marciano is indeed a 190ish pound man, so Jones has some experience around this weight. But the following is also true - - Rocky hits above his weight. He belongs just under guys like Liston and Lewis in terms of one punch hitting power. - Rocky throws a lot more hard punches than most fighters. That is, most of the punches he throws are very hard. - He throws a lot of punches - He has near maxed out stamina and work-rate - Jones has been KO'd cold by punchers nowhere near as busy or as powerful. Jones has 0 chance. They could fight 700 times and Roy would only win the fights in which Rocky injured himself.
watch a prime Moore at 175 he was not slow, he was cat like fast and very heavy handed....Very Heavy Handed
Well, I currently have Charles at about....9 on my atg list? I think. Roy was at about 20 last time I checked
