Hopkins used that strategy pretty much to a tee when he first faced Jones, and he got basically outclassed. A prime McCallum at MW would be an interesting bet to work that strategy though, given the limited success he was able to have at the end of his career well above his best weight.

Norris was nowhere near skilled enough. He had a glass chin himself(more proven in that sense than Roy, who was only hurt later in his career) and lacked the defense and ring generalship needed to get to someone like Roy without being KO'd.

Jackson had the punch certainly, but not the overall skill IMO, definitely not the pressuring ability to catch Jones with anything flush, and if he did get in close he'd be leaving himself open to counters all day which Jones would be more likely to expose. And again, his chin wasn't the greatest.

Barkley would be an interesting style matchup, but he just doesn't have the speed or class to deal with Roy. Too open and wide. A fighter like Barkley would be capable of taking out a late career Jones possibly, but not a prime version.

Jones would have a field day with McClellan, who was always open and off balance after throwing his signature right hand. Jones would have limitless countering opportunities unless he just got careless.

Hagler is a good choice.

Margarito is far too open and wide, as has been said, he'd get countered to hell in the clinches. Jones destroyed an extremely strong pressure fighter and puncher like Merqui Sosa who implied a very similar startegy to the one Margarito would.

:good Great post. (I can dig it)

Tho If I remember correct, M. Sosa had the worst balance
in the history of the Middleweight's, His stance was weird.
(He had some sort of leg injury right?, I can't recall 100%)

Margarito's balance is defo better than Sosa's let's at least give him that...lol

True, Sosa was very unorthodox, moreso than Margarito. But he was a bigger, stronger guy who Jones allowed to press him against the ropes just to prove his inside skills against. The result was a one-sided demolition(TKO 2) in Jones's favor.

I can definitely see Margarito winning this. I mean, I'm sure he's better than Wesley Red Millett who starched Jones.

Margo couldn't even beat a prime Hoya, Vargas, Tito, AND, qUARTY IMO. So I know he will never beat Jones. I don't think people remember Jones at 160-168. The dude was a ****in beast

LOL, um no.

i noticed he made cotto throw more punches then he ever threw. roy jones punch out put max out at about 75 a round. could margarito force roy to punch him self out. or will roy cause more damage then cotto did and get magaritos respect.

this is on a p4p if both fighters were the same weight class

Jones doesn't even have to throw 75 punches/round to beat Margarito to a pulp.
