    LLOYD MARSHALL vs ROY JONES Jr

    L-HW Contest

    15rds.

    Marshall was Roy Jones long before Roy Jones was even thought of. Marshall an undoubted great, said to be 'cuffed' fought in a more lucrative era and though he could bang em out, like Jones he too could be banged out.

    Jones a World Champion Title holder, means 'FA' to Lloyd, was slick & skilled also, Marshall maybe more so, but it is down to Ring Craft, Grit and Durability.

    at L-HW, the TRUE weight for both of them.

    I'd pick Marshall to frustrate, pressure and just as easily he could also stop Jones.

    Henry Armstrong Vs Floyd Mayweather Jr
    Harry Greb Vs Sugar Ray Robinson
    Bob Fitzsimmons Vs Archie Moore
    Jack Dempsey Vs Rocky Marciano
    Joe Walcott Vs Tommy Hearns
    Joe Gans Vs Roberto Duran

    Leonard vs Robinson would be my #1 after that, Pryor vs Duran, Ali vs Tyson, Liston vs Tyson , Holyfield vs Saad Muhuhmed, Holyfield vs Foster, Arguello vs Sanchez, Benitez vs Whitaker (art of boxing fans only) E.Pedroza vs S.Saddler (foul fest to the 10th degree) Hearns vs Jackson, pre Hagler Mugabi vs Jackson. Honestly too many to name.
