RJJ vs SRR @ 160

maybe....we dont have much to judge Jones from at that weight.

 

Sure would've.

 

I dont kno evrything on SRR, but from what I have watched of him, he seemed better at lower weights than when he moved up in weight. RJ is a natural middleweight/supermiddleweight or wateva. With speed and power that would kill. I pick RJ in this one

 

who did jones beat at 160 again?

 

Every fighter he fought.

 

:rofl:rofl good answer

 

Roy would have a size advantage due to different weigh-in rules.

RJJ might win the first one (he definitely has a decent change versus the post-dancing career Robinson), then Ray takes the rematch.

 

Here's the thing. Ray Robinson by all accounts fought better at MW when he fought as a WW against MW. Once he started packing on the weight to fight there, he wasn't as good.

I have a hard time fathoming that 147 SRR could beat 160 RJJ straight up. I don't believe 160 SRR would be able to beat Jones. And nobody SRR beat at 160 could beat Jones IMO. Not even LaMotta.

But I think SRR loses to most of the ATG MW and is overrated there. Hagler, Monzon, even Hopkins half the time would have beaten him IMO.

 

Agreed. Given the weigh-in rules that SRR dealt with, Jones would have never made middleweight. Taking new rules into account, SRR would be extremely undersized and he would be at a disadvantage speedwise, both hand and foot.

I don't feel that he could apply a good enough workrate at MW to have his technical advantages come to fruition and he would lose either a lopsided decision, or maybe even get stopped.

Jones via murder. It would be a mismatch due to the substantial size difference.

 

This is a joke.

RJJ in 1.
