    I think that Jones discovers that a long jab, great timing and defensive footwork is going to nullify a lot of his dazzling speed. A guy like Jones can never be written off, and I could see that in a long series of fights he'd get a decent percentage of wins. But I think Monzon is too old-school tough and Jones' already iffy chin is going to get softer and softer the longer the fight goes on. I expect the late rounds to be all Monzon. Just one fight? Over 15 I think Monzon has a chance of the stoppage, over 12 I will take Carlos on points. Might be narrow.

    Over just 12 rounds with modern rules, I think Roy's speed and unique skills might me able to nick 7 rounds in a fight that is turning towards Monzon during the last several rounds. Over 15, I slightly lean toward Carlos.

    Monzon. A good right hand and a good haircut get him pretty far. He's pretty patient for Jones' flash. Griffin was up on Jones (lt. heavyweight), and I usually pick Hagler over Jones.

    Not a fan of the 12 round format. That should be on the general forum while 15 goes to the classic
