    Richard Hall was awkward as well. That went well for him.

    I have three different types at 175 who I believe give Jones all he can handle. Bob Foster , Michael Spinks and Michael Moorer.

    Not everyones choice but I think moorer from the southpaw stance and power would give Jones a lot of trouble.

    Michael Spinks was great, but I would not pick anyone against a prime Roy Jones. Too fast, etc.

    Jones never would've risked fighting Spinx.

    Agree Roy would probably have stayed at 168... Spinks by ko inside 12 of 15.

    Both were great Light heavyweights. But pre 2000 RJJ, was just on another level and I have my money on RJJ.

    Crossed my mind recently, didn't feel like making a new thread.

    RJJ by decision. Considering how close this is to people, shouldn't this mean that Jones is one of history's top 175ers?
