    You're playing games. You've presumably watched a good number of Usyk's fights and if not you can look them up yourself. Every boxing fan has their own perception, I don't find it reliable. This conversation is over.

    Good, so that we're clear here, you can't provide evidence to support your claim. Which means this conversation was over before it began.

    Beterbiev would demolish Jones, imo.

    Way too much heavy, educated and effective pressure.

    How did I know one of Roy's delusional salad tossers would bump this thread :lol:

    Even the clearly declined injury-ravaged 38 y/o Beterbiev would knock the savage puncher avoiding Roy senseless into a quivering heap

    Think of all the LHWs Roy couldn't stop and how few genuine punchers and KO artists he fought :facepalm:

    Beterbiev takes everything he dishes out and then sends him to the shadow realm. I know that burns deep but it's 100% guaranteed

    You act like Beterbiev would just run through a prime RJJ. Possibly the most dominant fighter of all time. There's levels to this game.

    oh here we go.. roy was Superman, nobody could touch him in his prime , even his chickens laid an egg after the Toney win etc.. Roy is a legend but as soon as his freakish athleticism started waining he got chinned more than Charlie zelenoff .. Roy's LHW era was crap.. his main rival (DM) was based in Germany so he had to pad his resume with FWs, event security workers & car window washers.. the winner of Bivol v Beterbiev will FAR surpass Roy's LHW standing... Roy was probably lucky he fought in an era where these eastern European beast's couldn't walk him down and smash his chin off his beard

    Roy Jones's win over Virgil Hill at Light Heavyweight, is better than any win on Beterbiev's resume by a country mile. Virgil Hill is a Hall Of Famer who made 20+ title defences in the division.

    And lets be real Arturo Beterbiev struggling against Anthony Yarde, would've been the equivalent of Jones struggling against Clinton Woods who Jones destroyed. And i'm being fair to Beterviev saying that, as Woods achieved far more than Yarde did and has better wins

    Overall i agree the Light Heavyweight division is stronger now, but Beterbiev hasn't shown me that he could beat Roy Jones as of yet.

    I really don’t get the glass jaw thing. The guy was superman, otherworldly, unbeaten ( the DQ doesn’t count) and not even close to getting beat in his full prime career, then went up to HW and schooled. It was only after he dropped back down again that he suddenly suffered back to back losses and KOs. Clearly an issue in moving up and down in weight at that point in his career.

    Can’t see Beterbiev getting close. Roy wins comfortably on points, hits him at distance often and prob rocks / drops him.
