I think you can put Jones in against any of the great sub-200lb heavies and he does okay. I'd like to think Roy not having to make a strict weight puts him at the right weight: 185ish... I think either man could knock the other dead with almost any given punch. Walcott's timing is awfully good, but Jones' is better. I think Roy fights effectively from both further and shorter distances. The difference is that Walcott is definitely the more proven fighter, but he's inconsistent. Jones was more consistent with poor opposition, but just because Jones didn't do it doesn't mean he couldn't do it. Either guy could win in my opinion. I'd bet on a knockout mid-late rounds, whoever did it. For me, it may be a stretch for Walcott to consistently outpoint Jones, but it may be a stretch for Jones to keep it up against Walcott for the presumed 15 rounds without disaster.
I really highly rate Walcott to be honest and although Jones could win; he is a great highly rated fighter himself, I see more often than not Walcott winning.
LOL. This content is protected Anyway, I'd pick the slippery and tricky Walcott by KO. I would say that Walcott had enough power to put Roy out of his misery with a single clean shot. Still, it would be a fun and competitive fight to watch.
How about a prime 94 Walcott against a prime 50 RJJ? Or in Roy's case, a latter 90's "pan fed" 's c r a p' against Ruiz? A HW Walcott, eras considered, is a foregone conclusion....Next John L. Sullivan vs. Ron Lyle thread. I'm waiting with baited breath on what posters think that outcome might be.............
Prime 94 Walcott??? Jersey Joe Walcott died in 1994 from diabetic complications at age 80 years old. He was far past his prime in 1994. [url]https://www.findagrave.com/cgi-bin/fg.cgi?page=gr&GRid=8077[/url]
