    I'm taking this fight at 160.

    I just don't see Jones showing Holman anything new or that he hadn't already seen before on many occasions. Holman dealt with every possible style and faced every disadvantage throughout his career that a fighter could and, more times than not, overcame the problem. He had a ton more fights over better fighters, fought more frequently and learned tricks of the trade that one can only learn from FIGHTING (something Jones didn't do very often comparatively). His advantage in fighting experience is so enormous that it almost resembles a green beret vs a national guardsman.

    IMO he is going to be the one surprising Roy. He's probably forgotten more feints and traps than Jones ever knew and I can't see him not suckering Roy into them. He won't hurt Jones, but can see him confuse him and outwork Roy for a UD.

    Again, just my humble opinion

    Williams UD Jones
    Burley Ud Toney
    Booker Sd Benn
    Charles Ud Eubank
    Moore ko watson
    Chase sd Hopkins
    Mccallum tko Marshall
    Lytell sd Norris
    Robinson Ko Nunn
    Jackson ko Kid

    8-2 for row a but with diff matchups I could see it being split down the middle.
    I think Mccallum is capable of beating all fighters from Row A having the most trouble With Charles

    D real group B is :
    Toney , Thornton , Sosa , Reggie Johnson , Jorge Castro , Julian Jackson , Mike McCallum , Robbie Sims , McClellan , Sanderline Williams

    RJJ would have possibly beaten most of these even in their primes but was 2 much of a primadona 2b included in a list called after d BMR

    I can't find any Holman Williams footage on youtube. :mad:

    But this piece is quite good, has a little bit from an interview with Burley....

    Booker sounds all wrong for Benn and would stop him.
