    Wow great fight, at lhw i pick Charles, he was more a natural lhw, at 168 i think that it is jones territory.

    Unfortunately for Jones, Charles could and would beat him at all those lower weights.
    only in the heavyweight division would would Jones have an advantage in weight with his roids.

    Awesome matchup between two highly skilled men with great athleticism. I'd go with Charles but it would be a great fight.

    Jones beats everyone before him. Including Ray Robinson

    i agree that Charles could have beaten Robinson at middleweight.at his peak robbie weighed around 150 and would have been more or less the same height, fighting somebody just as fast.
    nobody touches Robbie at 154 though.

    Maybe due to the tap dancing he did his reflexes could keep up with rj.

    Roy had incredible reflexes. 30 shots on the double end bag in 3 secs. Left, right L/hook - 30 in 3 seconds. I don't think anyone has done that. I watched him on a YouTube vid training and counted it out. Roy would need to be the boxer to win Robbie and as tuff as that sounds I think he could. Jones on a decision.

    Robinson was beautiful to watch in a fight, sparring, skipping, on the bag or anything.
    i tried his triple left hook when i boxed but only on the heavy bag
    oddly for a fighter that tall, he could be out jabbed.
    Jones was the quickest fighter I've ever seen at his weight.....incredible
