Could RJJ make it out of the 1940s undefeated

RJJ fights in the MW and LHW division in the 40s. Could he make it to 1950 undefeated?

 

Doubt it, the divisions were insanely stacked at the time.

 

You're joking...right?

 

Why? RJJ was a very talented and gifted fighter with superhuman reflexes. Also with underrated punching power.

 

In any era where he’d have to fight Archie Moore at any point Roy Jones Junior would lose his 0 dramatically.

 

When they fought 6 times a year? No.

 

I don't think any boxer could go through every notable boxer from that time period in that weight range without taking at least 1 loss.

 

Who would RJJ lose to in your opinion?

 

Moore and Charles

 

I can’t think of any good reason to say that he would. For one thing, the talent pool was way too deep. For another, he’d be fighting way too often in those days ( like everyone else ) to always be in perfect form. And lastly his biggest strength was his athleticism which was largely manifested through modern training which he wouldn’t have had then

 

NO, and he would probably have to settle for Contender Status and maybe even on the Fringe, he might have never gotten anywhere near a title... this happened more often than not for MOST Top Men!

 

Absolutely! They wouldn’t have a clue what to do with him, his speed and power was dynamic
Ahead of his day even by todays standard
The one punch hits, accuracy and timing rules over all
A unique talent

 

Charley Burley would make a quick work of him and Archie Moore would too.

 

Quick work? They might beat RJJ, but it won't be quiçk work.

 

Archie, Burley, Sugar Robinson, Ezzard, Bivins, Conn, Maxim, Lamotta.................. All of these men were hovering at MW and LHW plus countless other killers I didn't even name

Roy would probably have 4-5 losses TBH. I also think Roy was superb enough that he could've been a champ even back then though, a loss didn't have the stigma it does today, you could lose and fight for a belt 3 months later depending on things
