    If Jones had moved up to heavyweight in 1994 could he have beaten Foreman? If Foreman had made a comeback in 2002 could he have beaten Roy at heavyweight?

    Foreman would be way too slow and ponderous to get anywhere near Roy.

    Lmao. Foreman would put Jones' teeth in the last row just with a Jab.
    He would not respect his "power" at all and the idea of thinking that Jones would avoid every single shot from Foreman during 12 rounds is simply laughable

    This overvaluing Jones is already getting out of hand

    The Only way Roy wins is by doing a Morrison type fight, Tommy did ok that way. Not sure he actually gets thro the fight tho without getting clouted by George, hard enough to put him down.
    More than likely, Jones wins the first few rounds before George starts chipping away at him.
    Foreman by 7 I'd say.

    Why do people keep matching this super middleweight with genuine heavyweights?

    Jones would out-speed George same way he out-sped Ruiz, especially in 2002.

    Because Foreman was so slow and in 2002 specifically would have been even slower.

    Jones would look fantastic until Foreman landed his first punch.

    Jones never could done what Morrison did, Tommy was a big guy with a huge punch so Foreman did respect his power, the blows from Jones to George would be like a fly in the face of an elephant. Jones was small and fragile, NO, THERE IS NO ****ING WAY THAT THE SUPER HIPER PRIME VERSION OF JONES WOULD HAVE BEATEN EVEN 90S FOREMAN. STOP THIS BULL****

    Just a touch of the jab is enough to slink Jones Jr into the ether
