    Every light heavyweight would pick up at least 1 loss out of 3. I challenge anyone to prove me wrong.

    I think a fighter who can avoid dropping a fight to Moore in 3 tries would have an excellent shot @replicating that feat vs. Jones.

    RJJ is beatable at Light Heavyweight I'd make Foster, Spinks, strong favourites over him due to their height, reach, power.

    If you amend this to after 1950 I agree with you. Otherwise theres guys who could probably do it.

    Wait theres Michael Moorer. Moorer probably goes 3-0 on him too.

    If Roy loses to Bob Foster , Spinks or Charles there won't be any rematches .

    Roy doesn't beat Qawi three in a row so you can pull it up right there. He's quite a bit more beatable at 175 vs 160-168 IMO. Jones loses a little and big immensely talented guys come into the fray like Charles, Moore, Spinks and Foster.

    They wouldn't need to. Roid gets sparked in the first bout by quite a few greats.

    Moore, Charles and Marciano if he was forced to make 175lbs batter him silly as would Dempsey… I think a young Ali could make 175lbs in Roy’s era :lol: not a can of worms many would open eh? Louis definitely could like Ali, not sustainably but he’d be able to do it and we’d see a death in the ring remember Moorer was about the size of Ali / Louis.

    I see Conn being a problem for Jones too.

    Quite a few ATG's Lt. heavies would ask Jones Jr this question.
    (What's going to be the excuse this time Roy?)
    Fighters like Charles, Moore, Spinks, Foster, and Qawi
    would eventually track Jones Jr. down, give him the
    treatment he received from Antonio Tarver.
