At the very least, Roy would be a live underdog against any 168-175 fighters in history.

 

Moorer would knock Jones out. Moorer was too hard of a puncher for Jones to go 12 rounds and he was also the sort of fighter to always give Jones trouble.

 

I don't get how people go by today's jones. By that I mean they think prime Roy is like today's rj.

Roy in his pomp used to love fighters to use there jab cause he would work off it. What u don't realize is Roy had power at light heavy along with the speed was a big put off made fighters sceard to throw cause of the chance to be hit by two or three big shots each of which capable of putting them on judah street

 

Thats because most people on these boards have only watched the decline of Roy as opposed to his reign ..

 

I am on the other side of most viewers around here... Roy was definitely too slick and fast to lose to one rangy Bob Foster or one herky jerky Michael Spinks... However, Double M went up to the HWT Division with all his fights won by KO and he still continued to hammer guys with unrelentless punching and pressure. I don't know if Roy could have stolen a fight against M Moorer.

 

he beats all 3

 

He beats all 3. All by wide margins

 

Honestly, from 1993 to 2003 i don't know who in the history of boxing would a beat this version of Roy Jones Jr from 160 to 175 pounds

From Hagler to Hopkins, Foster , calzaghe-Tarver etc...

Jones was really a human being phenom

 

It makes me sick

Roy got hit less in his prime then mayweather. And if Hopkins and tony hardly layer a glove on him then these light heavyweights would struggle

 

Michael Moorer beat such a low level of opposition at LHW (and didn't look all that good against the best fighter he faced in Stewart) that I really can't see him winning.

Roy would be extra cautious due to Moorer's power, which diminishes MM's chances even more since he mainly has the proverbial puncher's chance. I think Roy wins a wide UD here.

 

Roy should beat Moorer pretty easily barring a lucky punch. The others get to him. They're both too good at jabbing and controlling range. They'd find his chin, and they were murderous punchers. Just fairly bad stylistic match ups for Jones. He's highly competitive - maybe even ahead - when the stoppages come though.

 

I'd give Qawi a better chance at beating Roy at 175 than I do Moorer.

He'd be much more competitive with Roy. Qawi was an intelligent swarmer, tough to tag cleanly, very strong, skilled up close, plus Roy had a tendency to go to the ropes.

Moorer would be outboxed at range by a pretty wide margin.
