I've seen RJJ vs Michael done a good number of times, but not against Leon. Could Jones repeat the Ruiz victory against the Marine?
I will bite on this the under-experienced fighter who blitzed Ali for 15 rounds was an animal with decent fundamentals just no tricks to go with his stamina I can see this fight going 15 rounds with Spinks wearing RJJ down for a decision or his first KO/TKO loss. The thing is Leon was small for the era and had no imagination in the ring but had stamina out the butt and was tough I don't see RJJ doing what Qwai did later different styles.
I lean toward Roy. Leon's best victory for me wasn't Ali, it was his stoppage of Bernardo Mercado, which got him his title shot against Holmes. If the Leon of the Mercado fight shows up then Leon, otherwise I'm going with Roy.
Ive gotta go with this .Jones as great as he was didn't prove a great deal at heavy .Spinks whilst not a great heavy by any means would keep going and going. Jones would feel the pressure more at heavy ,not being a natural. I see spinks just being on Roy's case from the first to the last ,and getting himself a points win in the bargain.
Well I am not RJJs biggest admirer at HW (or lower weights for that matter), but like Ruiz I can see him winning this and would excpect him too. Jones takes a solid 8-4 decision in a lackluster fight
