Who beats Roy Jones at these weights?

I give Micky Walker a good shot at middleweight, perhaps even make him the favorite.

 

Foster would have no chance at 175. Charles and Moore would have much better chances than you're giving them, and would perhaps even be favourites.

 

Because he's poor. I like Jones to stop him actually.

 

MW:
Walker
Burley
Robinson
Tiger
Monzon
Hagler

There are plenty of others who I think have a good chance like Fullmer, Valdes, H. Williams, L. Marshall and Briscoe. Jones had all the talent but never proved to be up there with them at mw. And he was fairly inexperienced.
Olt-timers like Dempsey, Ryan, Fitzsimmons, Ketchel, Greb who I think would have more than just a chance I won´t comment since there isn´t enough or none footage of them.

SMW:
None, also I think Joe Calzaghe is close to 50/50.

LHW:
Loughran
Tunney
J. H. Lewis
Conn
L. Marshall
Bivins
Charles
Moore
Torres
Foster
Spinks

I think should all be favs.

There are plenty of others I think have a good shot too, from Delaney to DM.
I did not include old-timers like Fitzsimmons or Langford.

 

You're out of your mind.

 

No, I just see Jones at what he is. An atg talent who never really proved his class.

 

But John Henry Lewis and Benny Briscoe did to a greater extent?

 

I give Bob Fitzsimmons a 905 chance at every weight except middleweight (98%) and Heavyweight (88%)

 

My sentiments exactly. Foster would time one of Jones' sharp shooting attempts. Roy would make him look bad as long as he's upright, but at one point he'd come in to score and not get out again. Fosters jab would cause even a rhythm breaker like Jones massive problems IMO.

I won't pick a round, it could effectively happen anywhere between the opening and closing bells. But it would happen.

 

And you're confident of this, despite the fact that Jones has the better footwork, timing, speed, reflexes and punch picking? Foster couldn't time Chris Finnegan (very good fighter and a favourite of mine, but with defensive holes you could drive a lorry through) for a power shot but he's going to be catching somebody as slick and fast as Jones in the act? This is madness, Flea, and you know that I respect you massively as a poster.

Foster never countered/timed anyone anyway, he would just wade predictably into range and punch with his opponents, hoping to land something more or less by chance. He's probably not even at the level of a Cuevas, Trinidad or Jackson in terms of punching ability, let alone an ATG like Zarate, or Louis or Arguello.

Foster has the rare distinction of being the only "great" LHW to have faced even worse opposition than Jones, and that's saying something. There literally are amateurs down my gym that have better skills than Tommy ****ing Hicks. I have no idea why people consistenly make apologies for this hype train (or maybe it's just discrediting Jones). He's become even more over-rated than Monzon on here.

 

Glad I'm amusing you there Bujia.
