Will Roy outspeed THIS Tiger? Or will Tiger's "teeth and claws" eventually "tear" him down?

This might come as a shock, because of how highly I rate Dick Tiger and how overrated and vulnerable chinwise I think Jones is...but I think that if Jones fought a somewhat conservative type fight and stuck to the script of boxing, moving and jabbing (the key)..not pulling that same shit of forsaking the jab, though it worked against Toney, he would win this fight by a decision.

I f he used Emile Griffith's '66 title winning performance and strategy, Jones would have been smart.

Jones woulda been too fast and elusive for Tiger. Dick MUCH rather prefered aggressive guys who came at him. Roy wouldnt be there for Tiger to hit, and at the lower weights Roy was an explosive puncher, and at least woulda gotten Tiger's respect.

Tiger would have his moments, but RJ wins a clear UD.

At what weight? MW or above?
