    Obviously any fighter can be beaten right? So what's the strategy for beating Roy?

    Take risk, be willing to take some punches to land your 1. Focus on a body attack and hope thats enough to be competitive because a prime Roy is unbeatable.

    Hit him more times than he hits you.

    Pressure him like Glen Johnson. If you let him dictate the fight, he'll potshot from the outside.

    Jones had a fragile jaw. If you throw enough, one will land and crack it.

    A tall slick southpaw is always going to give him problems at 160-175.

    Roy needs room to work so you need to crowd him.
    Bob and weave and get inside, cut off the angles and get him against the ropes.
    Easier said than done

    Prime Roy never fought an elite pressure fighter. Hard to say he's unbeatable.

    Counter punch hard. 1 catches him he is in trouble. Timing beats speed.
