    Jones Jr, Bob Fitzsimmons, Moore, Foster.

    All LHW fighters with huge power and question marks about their durability.

    They face each other once.

    Who takes the most wins?

    Who takes the most losses?

    For me Fitz loses to all 3. I've seen footage of him and am far from impressed. He's getting a lot of discussion time lately which I love. For those who remember hes my pick for the GOAT in a more traditional ranking system. P4p king for a decade knocking out everyone from 150 and above. But his skill set just doesn't translate to the modern era. He'll get beaten to the punch by these 3 and beaten down hard.

    Much harder to choose between the next 3 but I'm gonna say Foster loses to the other 2. The advantage in speed and timing means they'll get off first.

    I favour Jones Jr to go 3-0 potentially all 3 by ko.

    I would see Fitzsimmons as a strong candidate to win it, and I would make Jones the underdog of the three.

    Nothing would shock me however.

    The way he was getting schooled and beaten up by Corbett leads me to believe he only has a punchers chance.

    Archie Moore.
    It's easiest to imagine him going 3-0 than any of the others doing it.

    I'd probably plump for Moore too. Too solid an all-rounder and wily a customer.

    But I'd just like to add that in terms of sheer talent and speed, RJJ would probably do pretty well until he got caught by something big.

    In fact, if you ran this round robin several times, there would be an iteration where RJJ went 3-0 and folks would think he was unbeatable.
