    Could he win a UD12 running for his life? Could he win 4-5 rounds?

    Would he get his "glass jaw" - Rico, shattered into a million tiny pieces in round 1?

    I say Foreman KO 1-2.

    I actually do think he could out-hustle him for the distance...Morrison did it.

    Roy certainly didn't have Morrison's power, true. But Foreman would in no way find it possible, imo, to walk down RJJ. None. Zero.

    Perhaps, but one punch for Foreman would end it for Jones.

    Of course Jones "could do it" however his margin for error in this fight would be zero. I know people say if Morrison could do Roy could, but like Roy Jones, Morrison had really good handspeed and movement too, and much more power. Furthermore Morrison didn't have to give away as much height and reach to Foreman like Roy would. Roy is 5'11" with a 74" reach, Foreman is 6'4" with a 82" reach, that is a lot of in and out movement to be doing against a guy like Foreman.

    Moorer was dominating Foreman until he got put to sleep, and Roy is much faster than him. If the slow, questionably powered Moorer can keep Foreman at bay for 10 rounds - then what could the quicker, slicker Roy Jones do?

    "Questionably powered"? What's questionable about Michael Moorer's power exactly?

    Maybe it wasn't questionable, but he was no Earnie Shavers

    His KO% is padded by the fact that he fought bums for the majority of his career
