    Roy would beat Randy by a wide decision, in my opinion.

    Interesting, because the way Turpin boxed SRR, I'd imagine he'd give Roy a hard time.

    Rjj on points obviously, but Turpin is a nasty style for him. Strong, awkward and a powerful puncher.

    Yes, afraid that Jones is a step to far.
    Turpin loses a unanimous decision.

    Nice, Fergy. A 12 and a half year bump! I agree, Jones is a step to far. I do think Turpin would make interesting but he would get stopped in the later rounds.

    It's a shame cos I like Turpin, but Jones is nailing it, mate.

    None of those.

    Nunn and McClellan would though.
