    At 175 whod win both were awkward but Jones had that incredible speed and power i know Spinks was only ever hurt by heavyweights but Jones also had freakish power although he stopped guys more on accumalition who wins?

    Spinks most likely stops him at some point in that fight or wins a Unanimous Decision if Jones just tries to survive.

    Obviously, RJJ is much faster than Spinks.

    Would Roy stand and fight with Spinks? , probably not.

    At 12 rounds, Roy could outpoint him.

    At 15 rounds the odds are Roy would finally get trapped and Spinks
    would knock him out.

    That sounds about right. Jones speed was unmatched but The Jinx probably would land a right hand and end it.

    I didn't think I'd bet against a prime RJJ against anyone, the guy had everything, then I started to remember when this thread appeared just how good Spinks was, the guy was untouchable until Tyson, I'd have to go for Spinks...just...late round stoppage.

    people forget how unbeatable Roy Jones was @ Lghtheavy before he went upto Heavyweight.

    Spink was also outstanding, but Jones was untouchable. (to judge how much the weight loss took out of him people need to look no further than the Clinton Woods fight before Ruiz. Jones totally butchered Woods. The same Woods who gave Glenn Johnson Hell in 3 Matches).

    I say Jones outpnts him wide using speed and Smarts.

    No fighter can win titles at middleweight through heavyweight with a glass jaw. Roy has been tagged hard before and handled it well.
