    All in their primes. Could Charles make it undefeated through this Murderers Row?

    He has a chance at beating all of them but might drop a loss or two

    A prime Roy Jones is a terror for anyone at 175 so yes that’s one possibility. Not saying I’m favoring either over the other

    Prime RJJ was capable of beating any light heavyweight ever on his best night.

    It's not inconceivable, given that he went thru an arguably more impressive Murderer's Row from 46-49 & his only loss was a debatable 1 vs. a hw.

    Moore x3
    Marshall x2
    Bivins x3
    Billy Smith
    Fitzpatrick
    Elmer Ray
    Baksi
    Maxim
    Walcott
    Lesnevich
