    Nobody likes getting hit, but Jones positively abhorred it , and he is going to get hit against Rocky,and then.as John Wayne said to Victor McGlaglen ,in The Quiet Man "you'll never hear the man count ten."

    I asked Grok to give me a video rendition of this match-up and here is what it created...

    In the ring Roy was 185, you really think Rocky was as good or P4P better than the Superman :lol:

    This would be incredibly 1 sided, Roys a million times better than Charles and Walcott

    You really want to see Jones unconscious and twitching spasmodically?

    Jones is not very effective above 175. Rocky by KO

    Marciano would crowd Jones and eventually break him down, just like every other jester he faced.

    Rocky was not very effective against elite guys under 60 years old.

    Jones wins the first few rounds but Marciano eventually get's to him and stops him and brutally.

    Rocky’s average opponents age is lower than any champs the last 50 years…JS.

    Roy would set the initiation and the pace of exchanges. He would always be first. He would grasp the reigns of the fight and lead Marciano around like a yoked mule. And let's dispense with all this nonsense of Marciano's insane output that overwhelm Jones. I have posted a punch count of the Walcott 1 fight. There were rounds where Marciano was throwing 35-40 punches because Walcott's ancient ass pins were keeping him guessing and repositioning. A fit and young Roy, with his G-league Bball legs, would have Marciano dogpaddling all night.

    This isn't even a hard sparring session for Roy.
