Whose the best heavyweight RJJ could have beaten?

I think apart from being knocked out which is a real posibitily. More to do with heavyweight power than questions about his chin. He can beat any of the "small" heavyweights.

 

Please provide a list of whom you are referring to.

 

ripcity ranks Pernell Whitaker as the second greatest fighter p4p of all time. What do you think does this mean for his other lists?

 

not to speak for ripcity, but they might include tommy burns, marvin hart, leon spinks, michael spinks (who wasn't quite the same fighter at heavy) and jack sharkey

 

Keep in mind between Jones supect chin and heavyweight punching power there is a real posibility that Jones loses these fights by KO. However Jones speed. He's faster than any heavyweight is going to give a lot of heavyweights problems. He can beat any heavyweight who is about his size. I don't see him beating the giants of the devision. Even if they are not as skilled as him.
John L. Sullivan
James J. Corbett
Bob Fitzsimmons
Marvin Hart
Tommy Burns
Jack Johnson
Jack Dempsey
Gene Tunney
Max Schmeling
Jack Sharkey
James J. Braddock
Ezzard Charles
"Jersey" Joe Walcott
Rocky Marciano
Floyd Patterson (this match up really intreges me)
Ingemar Johansson
Charles "Sonny" Liston
Michael Spinks
Mike Tyson
Evander Holyfield
Michael Moorer
Hasim Rahman

Now I'm not saying Jones wins 100% of the time or that I would favor him to win all of these match ups. The question is who could Jones beat at heavyweight not who would he beat at heavyweight. If it was my list would be a lot shorter. I fell that Jones could beat these guys.

 

Even I'm certainly not picking RJJ over Tyson

 

Tyson is probably the worst possible match-up for him.

 

atsch:rofl:rofl:rofl

 

no ****ing way :-(

 

Jesus Christ, that's a ridiculous list! :admin

Tyson, Liston, Holyfield...that was the funniest part. :rofl:rofl:rofl

 

True. :deal

 

Peak Tyson & Patterson were much faster...

Peak Holyfield was faster than 2003 Heavyweight RJJ too.

 

I said could not defently would beat. That list would be a lot shorter.

 

RJJ honestly has more chance out-boxing a Klit than surviving against Tyson...

Although both are very remote possibilities.
