    Jones, who whipped Ruiz steps in to fight Baer who crushed Schmeling.
    Can RJJ out box Maxi or does he suffer the same fate as Schmeling?
    15 Rounds.

    Roy is def fast and slick enough to out point him...butttt Max ain’t Ruiz. He’s faster and stronger and will eventually catch him. I don’t see any problem w anyone picking Roy here just don’t see his chin holding up against Max.

    Jones won 1 setup heavyweight fight that out of shape Toney showed any decent middleweight could do. He achieved nothing over ltheavy. He wouldnt even take this fight. If he does, brutal 1 punch KO count to 1000 for Baer.

    If RJJ could manage to stay out of Max's way for 15 round, I'd pick him to humiliate Baer en route to a wide UD. However, I think Max would catch RJJ and spark him cold.

    I'd say this is about right. Big question is can he do that for 15??
    Baer s no sliky mover in the ring we know and Jones probably has him lookin foolish, it's just that chin!
