    Does he win any of these fights (175lbs)?

    Foster, too much power and too much range, in addition to a bad style matchup for Roy.

    But how about the other two?

    His best chance is against Spinks....I favor all three over him. Charles, Foster, then Spinks. I also favor Moorer over him at LHW.

    Moorer would also be a bad stylistic match for Roy, forgot about him.

    Imagine if michael moorer stayed at light heavyweight, he would have dominated that division with ease, he was so good at that weight.

    No Charles beats him...Charles was a fine stand up boxer with enough power, Foster KO's him and Spinks pressures him too much and Moore beats him too.
    We want Charles before he killed a man in the ring and became like Griffith, with no more Killer instinct....not that either couldn't ko someone, and would, but, the edge was gone. It's ok with the later Charles too....
    Foster has the reach and so much power, adn that jab is world class.
    Spinks was awkward, fast, powerful, and pressure.
    Archi Moore was tricky, powerful, fairly fast, and had a good chin....that might have been the closest...He does have the most KO's.... Charles beat him three times, which is why I put this as the closest of the four fights.
    The thing was that none of them would have let Jones get his air pauses, as he mugged for the audiance...they would not be thinking what is Jones going to do next and let him breath....they'd all been thinking what they was going to do to him next, and doing it....not letting Jones get his air pauses....
    in 15 rounds Jones loses to all...in 12 too.
    Why did Johnson win, becasue he didn't let Jones get his accoustomed air breaks.

    Don't forget Jones is not known for his jab...he had one but used it seldom. To use a jab seldom vs those men, is foolish.

    please another roytard.... and you base this on a faded version of spinks? a natural light hvy against a beast in tyson. any version of rjj wouldnt last more than 1 rd with that version of tyson. a 7 yrs previous version of spinks beats rjj clearly

    Spinks beats him 7 time out 10

    Foster beats him, Charles for me is a 50-50 but remember they fought in different eras, so its extremely hard to compare.

    How long do you think Roy would have lasted against Tyson?

    against charles i think he has alot of trouble but i think he can win around a 7:10 chance

    against spinks he has alot more speed power and would be too slick for spinks...even though spinks can punch from odd angles i sdont think he has the tools to win this. big chance to roy

    now foster is an odd one...could jones get in and combo and hurt foster before foster can jab and punch his way to a ko.

    i havnt seen anyone outbox jones except for ice and i dont think foster is the right body shape he may be very very tall for the wieght but i think jones is too fast.

    but foster can punch amazingly hard and had goos basics.

    i would give an advantage over all thre but my hearts of hearts i think he can only beat spinks

    If micahel moorer can beat holyfield and a bunch of contenders at heavyweight, why cant he beat a natural middleweight?

    roytardation at it's best, this is what orishaman is talking about. foster and moorer were natural light hvys with huge punches, who competed against the best at heavy. these guys are'nt the del valle's, gonzales's, woods's, harmon's, harding's etc...... rjj crushed on a regular basis. foster and moorer would lay his ass out. spinks out points him and probably stops him late.
