RJJ outboxes Leon and finally stops him in 8 rounds.
A very noncompetitive bout

I think that the Leon Spinks that magnificently took the title from the great Muhammad Ali wins this fight. It was Spinks' finest hour. And maybe his management team did him good by winning the crown at early estate. Probably they knew that fighting Ali at that age and time was the best and right time to do it.

Spinks by knockout.

The Spinks that beat Ali has a chance, but he'd need to stop Roy. Be interesting to see Neon Leon using the same supplements.

Jones would use his speed and combinations to either take a decision or stopping Neon Leon late even under the 15 rounder.

Roy Jones Jr ain't going to stop Leon. It would be the other way around. Jones didn't had the punch to knockout a guy like John "The Quiet Man" Ruiz.

Ruiz is a tougher nut to crack than Leon I'd say, but I do suspect that Roy would take a decision in this bout.

I think Leon by UD, or late stoppage, if around HWY.

Spinks by knockout.
Spinks won a fairly close fight against an aging unprepared pre Parkinson Ali who gave away the first 2 rounds. I really don't see him doing anything to RJJ
