which fighter in history, H2H would you pick

People don't know the disparity in size until they would both get in the ring either. Jones wasn't a big Light Heavyweight, Spinks certainly was at 6'2 and sporting a Heavyweight frame.

 

size absolutely but i think your discussion of awkwardness and unpredictability hit it home for me. spinks was INCREDIBLY versatile and sometimes just an ugly-unconventional fighter who could bang like ****. jones would have a ton of trouble timing him, getting into his rhythm and would as such, be very vulnerable to counters

 

Duran... Robinson... Pep... Ali... Leonard... would all get the job done.

Whitaker would frustrate the **** out of him too & likely pull out the win.

 

Michael Spinks check hooks him in the 10th round

 

Hearns at middleweight?

 

Julian Jackson. Gooooooodnight.

 

Good chance:
Ezzard Charles
Michael Spinks
Archie Moore
Bob Foster

 

only if he hit him clean. i just don't see it

 

michael spinks

 

based on styles, what do people think of harold johnson? I think he had a lot of the tools needed to trouble a prime jones. win? probably not but put up a good fight

 

I'm waiting to get some s££t for this but I think one of the greatest shame's in the whole of boxing was Calzaghe vs RJJ never got made in their primes and i'm going for Calzaghe by close decision

 

you know what? I disagree but you're allowed to your opinion and i sure as hell think it'd be a much better fight than that last november. calzaghe style wise is a pain in the ass

 

Ok I'll do it

peak for peak Calzaghe would get leathered , he leaves too many gaps for someone who could hit as fast as Jones did

 

How would you know? Who else has Calzaghe fought even approaching Jones in speed during his prime? For that matter, who has anybody fought from middleweight and up even approaching a prime Jones for speed? The guy was ridiculous. Anyway, he tagged Joe as a shopworn fighter and even though Joe wasn't really prime either, I think it'd be the worst night of Joe's life prime for prime. And that's not a disrespect to Joe because I think he's a great fighter who does pretty well in an h2h sense himself.
