Boxing Mailbag: Roy Jones Jr as a heavyweight, trainer importance, more

Bad Left Hook writer Scott Christ addressed reader questions in a boxing mailbag regarding Roy Jones Jr.'s heavyweight potential, elite trainers, and fighter reinvention. Christ assessed which historical heavyweight champions Jones could have defeated, noting that while smaller past champions might have been vulnerable, elite punchers like Joe Frazier or modern unified champions like Oleksandr Usyk would likely have defeated him.

Christ also evaluated the role of trainers, selecting Eddie Futch as an all-time choice and Robert Garcia among active coaches, while highlighting Manny Pacquiao and Wladimir Klitschko as premier examples of career reinvention. Additionally, he discussed fan interest in Shakur Stevenson, Christian Mbilli's chances against Canelo Alvarez, and favorite boxing films.
