Could Jones, Jr out box and steal the heavyweight title from Marciano and Fraizer if he was to replace Charles and Foster? Or would he be mown down?
Jones could do well using his speed and skill but I think Rocky and joe gradually grind him down for a brutal KO mid fight.
If we say roy always had a glass chin and fought at championship level for 11 year without getting hit once until he slowed down and we also say rocky was clumsy slow and crude then i guess roy cruises to an easy decision or stoppage win on cuts against the short armed rocky without ever getting hit. What would actually happen? Who knows. I have a feeling Roy could beat Marciano but not frazier.
Marciano was far from from clumsy or slow and the Charles of that fight would have easily beaten Jones.
I like Roy Jones in his prime as much as the next person, but the top guys on Marciano's and Frazier's resume flatten Jones worse than Tarver did. Jones was gifted a title shot against Ruiz, who was slow and didn't have much power. Also, as soon Jones got the title he wasn't willing defend his title against legitimate heavyweights like Lewis, Tyson, or Vitali, which makes his heavyweight run a joke. This content is protected Marciano destroyed Moore, who would knock prime Jones out cold and would easily go undefeated if he fought the guys Jones fought. This content is protected Archie Moore - Better and a more proven fighter than Jones. Had a better run as the champ at 175 and actually earned his shot at the heavyweight champ by beating number 1 contender Nino Valdez and plenty of other top heavyweights. Frazier destroyed Quarry and Foster, who both hit much harder than Jones. Quarry - knocked out Shavers in one round. Foster - Better power than Jones and and his hands were just as fast and he got laid out by Frazier. This content is protected
