    i have no doubt about that Hagler was too slow and jones would easily break through that tight guard.

    I like Hagler, but I would have to agree. The only one of the four mysketeers I would put 50-50 with Roy at 160 is SRL.

    You shut your dirty ***** mouth. Hagler at 160 is the man there's no stopping him.

    I like RJJ against Hagler as well,the speed difference would have been ridiculous and RJJ at 160 could bang....But Hagler always has a chance because he is Hagler and the dude had a granite chin,great stamina,and a great will to win........

    Jones by UD. He was too fast and had power to cut Hagler. Jones is not getting much respect due to many fans looking at him now instead of how great he was back in the day. Jones had more power than SRL at 160.

    Hagler by MD over Jones at MW.

    Jones by clear UD at SMW.

    Jones by KO over Hearns in the mid to late rounds. If Jones fights defensively, this would be very interesting, could possibly swing Hearns's way.

    Jones over Leonard by UD. Leonard was just past his best and didn't have the physical tools he used to at the weight.

    Jones is very bad for Duran, just way too big and quick. A Duran of say the Hagler or Barkley fights would've been somewhat interesting though.

    Hagler Vs. Leonard was not vintage Hagler... The guy who tore through Minter, Antuofermo, Scypion. That Hagler would have been a tough nut for Jones to crack. I don`t see RJJ making even a scratch on Marvelous` chin. I am not sure he could keep Marvin off him for the whole 15 rds. Yes 15, thats when men were men...

    I see Roy taking it on points. He doesn't stop Hagler, and avoids a slugfest, but outpoints Hagler.

    Hagler at his best would be tough for RJJ at middle, RJJ didn't mature till he moved up. Still I think he had a good chance to outspeed and win on points v Marvin at Middle. Tough to call

    Hagler's granit chin, pressure style and experience would give Jones a lot of trouble. This a very difficult fight for Jones.

    i dont think anyone could beat prime jones at 160 or 168 ever, if so he would have to be the heavy favor.when there were talks of him fighting tyson, jones was the favor then.

    Hagler vs RJ would have been very similar to Hagler vs Leonard. I love Hagler but RJ wins a split decision.

    Hagler vs Jones at 160, Jones Jr close UD. If it was Jones from the Tate fight i.e. at his most experienced.

    Jones would have beatin Hagler comfortably at 168.
