    It's not about size. If they both fought at 160. Roy would get KTFO'd. Roy may have more speed, but Ray had more intelligence and would have found a way to get to Roy.

    Ray Robinson would have stopped Jones. He was in another class.

    Jones looked unbeatable until he moved back down from Heavy....also that happned at age 35....


    alot of great fighters lose at 35......I think people tend to slag of the newer generation fighters more readily than the old ones (BERT SUGAR a prime example) , we tend to view the OLD generation with ROSE tinted glasses....

    happens in most sports.


    At Light Heavy Jones wins....a wide UD

    I could never imagine Jones struggling with a plodder like La Motta

    At middle a close fight still favour Jones

    Unfair matchup at 175 so I'll have to go with Roy but it's a toss up at 160.

    I never mentioned size. Ray has never seen speed like that before look at the way ray fights and who he fought. He would have to fight him twice. to get use to him
