I don't want to put you in your place it's just your previous post logically didn't really work for me.

You said and i quote.

Well who did RJJ knock out at Light Heavyweight that was even in the same stratosphere as Michael Spinks ? Spinks's Light Heavyweight record is considerably better than Jones. So i don't know why you're trying to discredit Spinks when clearly he has a better resume at Light Heavyweight so i'm not really understanding your point here.

You also said.

Muhammad was never stopped in 59 fights and Spinks put him down with one right hand and almost knocked him out if RJJ got hit with the same Spinx Jinx he would be KO'ed no ifs or buts.

Muhammad would also be the best Light Heavyweight RJJ faced based on H2H basis.

I don't see how not knocking out a fighter who was never stopped in 59 fights and is incredibly durable is a negative.

This post was also a bit baffling you say in your own words RJJ didn't have the best resume, but in another sentence you're so confident he beats an ATG Light Heavyweight with genuine KO power who's a H2H nightmare ? so you're basing it on RJJ looking great against B and C class Light Heavyweights ?

Again i ask when did RJJ ever fight a genuine puncher at Light Heavyweight in his prime ?

I also see RJJ at Light Heavyweight struggle against Montel Griffin, Eric Harding, dropped and visibly hurt by Lou Del Valle aswell.

Also worth noting Griffin's awkwardness gave RJJ alot of problems who was Griffin trained by ? Eddie Futch. Who did Eddie Futch also train ? you guessed it Michael Spinks. The difference is Griffin isn't a puncher like Spinks is not to mention Spinks is considerably taller than RJJ with a longer reach.

And then you made this comment which was a bit silly to be quite honest.

RJJ didn't have the best chin and you don't think a 6'2 visibly bigger Michael Spinks who's a H2H nightmare with KO power in either hand couldn't KO RJJ ?

Michael Spinks was a very good counter puncher and was very smart at setting traps, you honestly think RJJ wouldn't get hit on the chin at some point by Spinks ? who has the longer reach and is considerably taller ?

I just don't understand why you're so adamant that Spinks couldn't KO Jones ? when a counter puncher like Tarver sparked him out with one punch.

And i can assure you i've seen every single notable fight of Spinks, Jones, i'm actually big fan of both fighters but Spinks should be the considerable favourite over RJJ at Light Heavyweight.

With the 24 hour weigh-ins, it's harder to rate him against guys with same day weigh-ins. Yes, Jones can make 160 but how well does he fight being dehydrated or whatever state it took him to make weight?

I would make both Bob Foster and Michael Spinks slight-to-mild favorites over Roy Jones at 175.

Same thing with Dwight Qawi, only Roy is the slight favorite in this case. A Qawi win wouldn’t surprising me but I’m still picking Roy by decision a tough fight.

You can't say that with such certainty either for: Usyk, Ali, 1988 Tyson, Lewis... beats all of your cruiserweights & heavyweights

Roy made John Ruiz look so inept. What other light heavyweight could do that?

Most lightheavyweight greats would have beaten ruiz.

This guy's a prima donna. He thinks Galento would beat Lennox Lewis.

They had weigh ins the day before the fight during Jones era ??? He didn't do same day weigh ins, boxing with modern rules started in the 80s
