Comparing Roy jones Jr at LHW to Artur beterbiev is crazy talk

Bivol had some success countering Beterbiev; Roy would have just as much if not more, only with considerably more speed and thunder behind it.

While there's always the possibility that Roy becomes carless/overconfident (he'd likely have a working margin heading into the final quarter of the fight) and gets clipped, I think Roy plays it straight and outpoints Beterbiev 116-112.

 

Familiar ?

I was watching Monzon and Roy, well before your parents met.

Roy's engine was second to none.

He's not getting tired.

 

When did RJJ get tired in his prime ? I'd like for @tinman to give one example.

 

When did he fight Beterbiev?

 

And when has Beterbiev fought someone close to the talent, speed, power, of a prime RJJ ?

 

Never. But I never doubted that RJJ would land on Beterbiev.

 

"RJJ ever the show-man, there he is with his hands behind his back, such speed"
"You're right, beterbiev looks unwilling to engage, he knows about Roy Jones's ref -"

"OOO Artur with a leaping jab, staggers Roy across the ring!!! That looked like a cross not a jab!!"

This is a complete mismatch, Artur absolutely demolishes RJJs chin, ends with a brutal KO and Roy Jones laying on the floor like he fought the terminator

He must have unified too.

 

Toney wasn't pfp 1.

 

He also won a Cruiserweight world title.

 

And Roid had taken relatively little damage in his career thus far. Tons of SMW and LHW who had to get rid of way more muscle and weight than Roid did. It's a total copout.

 

A very typical simpleton cop out, just throw away agenda accusation.

Yes, Artur was demolishing LHWs at the age Roy started getting knocked out. At the same time, he was making his pro debut at the age Roy was a 3 division champion with wins over 2 future first balloot HOFers. Every athlete age differenty, that’s a knowledge anyone with 2 brain cells should hold.

Tarver is pretty much a same level LHW as a Virgill Hill, Reggie Johnson and Montell Griffin. It just so happens he ran into a Roy who was badly drained.

 

He must’ve logged a new name on his resume when he won that title and had a nice reign there.
