    Jake LaMotta
    Randy Turpin
    Bobo Olson
    Rocky Graziano
    Gene Fulmer
    Carmen Basilio
    Joey Maxim

    If RJJ had to defend the title against these men and then fought Maxim at LHW, could he go undefeated?

    Yes, he would go undefeated.

    LOL @ Graziano. Jones would put Graziano in a coma.

    In a vacuum I'd favor him in a one off matchup vs any of them, but that clearly isn't the point of this thread.

    I would give Turpin the best odds to beat Jones but still favor Roy.

    Jones probably ducks Graziano.

    Roy vs. Fulmer would be a thing of grotesque beauty.

    RJJ whups ‘em all btw.

    Roy has physical advantages over 98% of most human beings living or dead. He was on a different planet in terms of his athleticism.

    I’d favor a prime Roy over that entire list.

    Graziano was a great fighter.

    And there are those who think Jones would crush Graziano. They must be joking.

    Yes. Prime Roy is unbeatable.

    Jones was much stronger than Robinson and much harder to hit

    In separated matchups, he probably beats all of them. He wouldn't go undefeated against such a strong competition in real life though.

    Agreed, one of them is going to get him. In a 15 round fight someone like Fulmer or LaMotta ain't going away and could get to Roy late when he slows down.
