    nobody. People seem to forget that after Jones dropped back down from 200 pounds......he was never the same ........ Jones should have settled in at cruiserweight after Ruiz, and never fought at 175 ever again

    At 175, Spinks & Foster are slight favorites IMO.

    I think I would probably agree. I'd say Moore, Charles and Langford would also be pretty solid matchups. If not favorites.

    I agree with Foster but not Spinks. Outside the jab there is nothing Spinks does better than Jones.

    At 160 I give a prime Hagler a shot. Monzon would be interesting.

    At 168 NO ONE even has a shot.

    At 175 I would favor Charles and Foster, but Moore would have a ko shot, and Billy Conn could present trouble.

    Only for their fight ending power. but how clumsy and slow would they have looked against a 1997 version of Jones? Answer- Very.

    at 160 ot 168 i would pick him against anyone. At 175 it gets a little more interesting. you got guys like Moorer (don't know why everyone is saying moore that's the fat **** that makes the annoying doccumentaries), foster and you have to account for guys like marciano and dempsey who fought at a time when there was no light heavyweight division but probably could have made the weight if there was one and been very dangerous

    not sure, might be because he has about 3 times more KO victories than RJJ has fights period

    or something like that
