    lol! Ali would have toyed with Roy and knocked him out, Roy might have beaten Ali when first turn pro as he was recently moving up from light heavy, Roy never faced anyone like Ali in his life, Frazier would have destroyed Jones and Liston and Foreman.

    Good lord Mark, this is a P4P thread!
    What do you think RJJ would have done if he was 6'2" - 6'3", weighted 230 plus walkaround and trained down to 215 ?

    Do you think Mike Tyson beat him at 168-175 if he was 5'7" - 5'8" ??

    .....

    P4P Tyson had better fundamentals thanRoy, Jones was just a decent boxer with amazing speed, he would be a lot slower at 215.

    I go back and forth on this one.. Ali Tyson and Jones. Jones might have been the most talented, but Ali the most skilled and Tyson the most concussive.
