We can favor Roy Jones over other boxers who were officially ranked at Junior Middleweight: Felix Trinidad Terry Norris Julian Jackson Winky Wright Fernando Vargas Mike McCallum Winky Wright Canelo Alvarez Oscar De La Hoya Sugar Ray Leonard Ayub Kalule Nino Benvenuti Sandro Mazzinghi Sergio Martinez Can Roy Jones Jr. survive Thomas Hearns at Junior Middleweight?
I really liked both fighters. At MW, I have to go with Roy. He was just so fast, athletic and unorthodox. Tommy was a beast and the Hagler fight showed how fierce Hearns could be. Young RJJ at MW was about as good as it gets. Tommy had power to take anyone out but I don’t think he would have gotten to Roy. This would have been a good one and Hearns would have won rounds, maybe even put him down.
