    I'd say he can beat them all, but gets caught during of them

    All six eventually knock Jones out. Jones was an excellent fighter at 168 and 175, but his career at heavyweight was a complete farce. Ruiz wasn’t a real champion and Jones had a chance to fight Vitali to prove his title wasn’t a trinket, but Jones backed down after saying he’d fight.

    He could beat Braddock, Galento, Primo.
    Schmeling had too good of timing with his right hand and punched hard he lands a peach at some point and Roy goes to sleep.
    Sharkey is athletic enough to compete and his larger natural size leads him to a UD Win.
    Baer If motivated takes Roy out.

    I just used the 175lbs Jones he'd only have to put on a pound to fight then

    I would pick him over Galento.
    Braddock & Sharkey I would favor but call RJJ a live dog
    Baer Schmeling Carnera I would call big favorites and would be surprised if Jones beat any of them

    Galento left hook could be dangerous to Jones.
