    With Roy either on the canvas, or losing a decision after staying away from Foster's big punches and giving away every round.

    If Jones wants to land enough to win, Foster will time him and take
    him out. At some point.

    Roy would avoid Foster for several rounds and win a few of them, yet he would lose. Roy would be stopped probably in rounds 10 or 11.

    Jones will do well but Foster's power either ends it brutally or puts Jones in a shell that allows Foster to edge a decision.

    Jones, easy, wide UD or brutal KO depending on his mood. Foster wouldnt be able to land, unless he can ime that jab and Im not sure he can the way he plods. Jones speeds means he hits Foster at will. Foster isnt hooking with Jones, because Jones would get 3 hooks off befre Foster can throw 1. Jones also has the power to take Foster down

    PowerPuncher has a hard on for Jones, and probably thinks he does a Clinton Woods on Spinks ...It's true, someone actually said that in the General a week back. Oh my days. In any event, I don't think Foster had the hand speed and foot speed of Spinks so he'd probably lose a UD but with his right hand and Jones chin, anything's possible.

    A prediction I am comfortable in making though is Foster brutalities 99% of Jones' comp inside the distance.

    Foster only needs to land once. And in the 70s, without his supplements, I doubt Jones would have the same speed or power he did in the 90s.

    Foster is just a different level of fighter.

    Fosterin 5-6 rounds. Think there's quite a few LH's from the 70's and early 80's who be to much for Jones.

    Yea picking the superior faster more proven boxer over the unproven champ is insane bias :roll: Fosters comp is significantly weaker and when he stepped up against slightly bigger HWs he got beat up and sparked. BTW the contempary boxers/fans never were as impressed with Spinks/Foster as they were with Jones

    BTW Not everyone gets aroused by fighters the way you do with MAB :good

    I actually agreed with you on this particular match-up, but I've been around long enough to see how much your dick grows when Jones is mentioned. Not to take offense brother, was just making an observation. Indeed, if one was to get hard over a professional boxer, they rarely come as pretty and flashy as Jones Junior. Nice pick. That being said, Jones' reign at 175lbs was also stacked with no hopers. Honestly, how many rounds do you see David Telesco going with Foster? :lol: ...It's madness.

    That's true, to be fair.

    It was also beautiful how instead of saying Foster stepped up to fight Joe Frazier and Muhammad Ali, you say "Slightly bigger Heavyweights". You here all week?
