    I think a few more can be added. Randy Turpin, Marcel Cerdan, and if we go back farther, Greb or Ketchel.

    I only think a select few could feasibly "dominate", and even they would be questionable.

    Hearns and Monzon have the best chance. Haglar can be outboxed, and no one has the legs that RJJ had, not even SRL, who was past prime at that weight.

    I picked hearns because he had the reach, skill, jab, and power to give RJJ fits, but Roy would give him fits too. SRR wasnt at his best at MW... his prime was at WW, he is too small for Roy. SRL was not prime and he would be too small. But no one is dominating him. All because someone is a ATG 50 -60 years ago doesnt mean they can just beat anyone easy. There is not many MW's who could beat RRJ, but these I believe have the greatest chance at this weight.

    Then you are an Idiot. Nobody in any era ever just walks through a prime RJJ at middle. He might not win all those fights but he would be competitive in all of them....and for the record he would beat Lamotta's ass from one side of the ring to the other.

    Dominate? You might get some guys who would knock Roy out and a select few who could beat him on points, but nobody is dominating him completely. The guy was that good.

    Not dominate man, someone with Roy's talent would make the fight competitive with any MW figher from any era.

    Although i do think he would lose to some of those names

    Jake Lamotta 5′ 8″ with his 67″ reach will dominate 5 11 and 74 Roy Jones.
    Just lol **** off dude, it would look like the Pazienza fight.
    the rest wouldn't dominate either

    None of those guys could win. Dominate? GTFO. Watch Jones when he was at middleweight, too big and strong for any of those guys, footwork and hand speed too much. Hearns and Monzon would come the closest out of that bunch.

    Hagler and Monznon beat him, but not dominate. Hearns 50/50. Great fighters with great jabs. Great power.
