I picked Jones.
My issue is with the comparison of comp.

My only point really is that certain Roy 'victims' would have done okay in that 70's era. Virgil Hill for one. They aren't being given sufficient credit for their abilities.

RJJ/Hill wasn't at LHW.

LH limit is 175 for me. And anyway, Saad fought tougher comp than Hill.

Yeah, but I said Virgil would have done well in the 70's too. That was the point. Probably he would have been regarded as something of a master boxer.

I doubt he'd have done that well against those light heavies.
