    Honestly I think Spinks would beat Roy almost everytime.

    Foster would probably be a 50/50 fight, Id give the slight edge to Roy actually.

    I think Sister just said that because that Mundine fan obviously knows nothing about Foster or Spinks, he just loves Roy because Roy Snr trains his hero and his hero is a poor mans wannabe RJJ.

    Moorer was a huge puncher at LH. Jones loved to fight southpaws. Moorer would have had too much trouble with Roys speed. Jones by decision.

    Jones was that good he could overcome the natural awkwardness of fighting a southpaw.
    But really some of his shittest performances before he started to really fade were against Harding, Griffin I, Tarver and O. Griffin..all Southpaws

    Yeah but those guys were slick counterpunchers that liked to move backwards. Moorer was not that type of fighter.

    Moorer by KO as soon as he lands a power punch on that Glass Jaw.

    Jones is overrated at 175. His opposition sucks there.

    So does Foster's.

    Jones era sucked there.....his opposition was the best available of that era except for one guy.

    Jones could beat Moorer. Not sure he could beat Spinks, as I would bet on Spinks at this weight. I would also bet on Charles and Moore here as well.

    If Jones can subdue Moorer's power than a comfortable win for RJJ. He couldnt allow Moorer to land though

    No way Roy makes it 12 rounds without getting cracked.

    Moorer KO

    RJJ went rounds without getting hit, if he could keep moving he could take the win

    Hard to compare Moorer with Ruiz. Moorer as a LH was a lot different than he was as a heavyweight, but he still had good overall technical skills. I still wouldnt think Moorer would be able to find Jones.

    I didn't know that Ruiz was known as some kind of a knockout artist.
