This could be said to be blazing Speed Vs exquisite Timing or Extrovert Style vs understated Substance, The Contemporary Media Darling vs The Old Silver Screen Icon .. Over 15 rounds, i think i like "Öld Testament" Sage Harold to Map Roy and navigate his way to a close but clear points win, A lot of those old craftsman would not get too impressed with a bit of Flash and Dash, A Tussle with the Tassle would cut little ice.
I like Johnson. Jones style wouldn't work as well when he fought smooth technicians as it does when he fights bums and limited sluggers.
Jones needs this like a hole in a head. Best to be rememered as a fancy dan; and a excellent one at that, than fight someone who is going to put some real hurt on him.
Anyone who can solve Bivins, Charles, and Moore (at least once) and other toughies from the era, could probably solve Jones. I always think a fundamentally sound, smart fighter will usually beat the the unconventional style. Harold takes a decision.
Harold Johnson one of the great LH's. Operated in the shadows of Moore but in almost any other era, he would be a clear bet to be champ. Jones not as fundamentally good as Harold Johnson. I would pick Johnson to win 7 out 10 times against Roy Jones.
Jones late KO, The early rounds would be evenly pegged and Johnson would have success with his jab. Jones steps up the pace with his superior punching to stop Johnson late
