    I know usyk hasnt fought at heavyweight yet. And maybe some of you all might say Roy Jones to small but I just want to see your thoughts on how this fantasy match up were to fare up .
    Their styles
    Usyk skills vs Jones athleticism and slickness
    You know the stats and their resumes
    Now can you let me know how this "fantasy fight " were to turn out over 12 rounds

    Usyk by KO, no explanation needed, no chance for Roy Jones.

    I like Jones and think hes the best I ever saw but Usyk is big and really, really good. RJjr was at the tail end of is prime when he won the HW title but im not sure that version of him beats Usyk. Thats a really, really tough fight for jones. Heck even prime Lhw Roy has a tough time with Usyk. Im not going to pretend im an expert on Usyk as ive only seen a couple of his fights but he is an impressive fighter. Ill say LHW prime Roy beats him but not HW Roy.

    Roy would have zero chance and would never take the fight. Pointless even discussing it.
