    Roy in my opinion, although he'd only have been about 20/21.

    Two fights I would love to have seen:

    Roy vs Mike McCallum (prime) 154

    Roy vs Herol Graham 160 :good

    He did, but he was very unlucky. He would certainly have held a belt in this era, in my opinion.

    A good clash of styles, and I think he'd have given a young version of Roy something to think about.

    A young Roy vs a peak McCallum would have been a hell of a fight.

    This is a stupid question. Jones only fought at 154 for his first few fights.

    Make it at 160. In which case, the Ginger gets every freckle on his face knocked off.

    Roy, comfortably. His speed alone would have been too much for Canelo but when you factor in Roy's power, I think he would have put Canelo on the back-foot early on and had his way with him.

    Was Ayub Kalule, Lindell Holmes and Vinny Pazienza not world class?

    I like Canelo he is a tough kid but this would be a bad matchup in terms of style.

    easy win for RJJ. Wich would later be overturned and changed to a NC on account of failing the post fight drugtest.
