Very interesting matchup and good question Brent F! Roy Jones has incredible hand speed but his chin is suspect. I rank Monzon (tie with Hagler) as the 2nd greatest middleweight champion of all time. I believe he didn't even lose a fight like the last 12 yrs of his career. He had a great jab behind that tall frame of his and a sturdy chin defeating some good fighters as Rodrigo Valdez, Bennie Briscoe, Emile Griffith, Nino Benvenuti among others. I believe that Monzon would force the fight endure some dazzling combinations from Jones counter punch him with hammering right hands and knock him out for the count in the 13th round.

Great defensive, unparalleled speed (all this hid a weak chin)
Held titles in 160, 168, 175 and Hwy wt
Monzon - W 87 (KO's 57) TF 100 - W pct 87% - KO pct 57% - wins over Benvenuti{2}. Napoles, Valdez[2], Briscoe and Griffin{2} - KO'ed by none - #40 ranked puncher - #11 ranked fighter
Can Roy's great skills keep Monzon from exposing Roy's weak chin? No, Monzon in a 11 rd KO.
