    Is that a joke? Jones all the way. Leonard was past it and a natural ww. No way he has a chance. Jones TKO4 Leonard.

    Leonard was the far, far greater fighter though.

    Jones easily.

    people forget how good this guy was bc they saw him late in his career lose. Jones was imo top 3 fighters to ever live.

    True, though matched in speed and accuracy it would be a close fight but Leonard's smaller and that would catch up. However, it'd be very interesting and Leonard was very good at turning things around.

    ROY JONES JUNIOR, with absolute ease. This is not even a contest. Easy win for Roy.

    Well Leonard was capable of beating Hagler. He was big enough at that stage to be a middle - he didn't look tiny besides Hagler, who was a huge Middleweight. And Jones when he was at Middle was a lot smaller than he was later in his career (obviously). They seem like two different sized fighters but if you take them at the respective moments of their careers I mentioned the size difference dissapeares.

    This is greatest mythical boxing match ever.

    Anyway, I say Jones too.

    What a ridiculous pick. You just aren't thinking logically at all. Jones would likely win, but your perception is way off if that's how you feel the bout would play out.

    Hagler wasn´t prime himself and fought a very stupid fight, especially early on.

    And no that´s not the greatest mythical match-up ever, I could think of plenty better.

    Hagler was slow, past his prime and fought a stupid fight. Leonard was past his prime, also slower than a few years earlier but fought a brilliant fight tactic-wise. Both looked much better in the past and gave better performances.

    Jones on the other hand while still beeing pretty inexperienced looked pretty good against Hopkins and even fought with a broken hand.

    At that stage of their careers I can´t see Leonard winning. Jones has every at advantage above him with the exceptions of experience and ring generalship. that´s why I picked like I did.
