    Roy never had stylistic issues with technical fighters who were slower with limited power.

    Bivol has never seen anyone with that that type of speed before.

    Yet Bivol would have beaten him with ease, and knocked him out??

    Really?

    And this is based on what exactly??

    It seems that you’re the one who’s debating on emotion.

    No.

    It’s just that you’re trying to save face from where you’ve embarrassed yourself in the other thread.

    You’ve used sarcasm.

    You’ve used deflection.

    So now you’ve got to go on the offensive.

    You’ve morphed into No Neck.

    I rate Bivol highly but I think RJJ wins. Despite just about every concievable physical advantage outside of chin, even stylistically the matchup is not favorable for Bivol.

    I would give Artur a much much higher chance to beat Jones. But Bivol I think gets beat fairly comprehensively.

    First of, Bivol isn't slow. He has light speed combinations.

    As someone else on this forum pointed out a few days ago, and I had also said the same thing, boxing is evolving.

    Training methods, boxing maneuvers, nutrition, recovery, scientific analyses, opponent assessments, and tailored fight preparations—all these have evolved over the past century to develop techniques that can overcome various boxing styles. Today's boxers benefit from the cumulative knowledge built over generations.

    What I'm saying is, the boxing education, training programs, and nutrition that Bivol receives are far superior to those Roy Jones had. Today's Bivol would utterly dismantle prime Roy Jones without losing even a single round.

    Roy's not knocking Bivol out

    Bivol's speed of hand and foot, combined with his A tier elite skills, uncanny judgement of distance and accuracy, footwork, technical brilliance, Soviet slickness, beautifully fluid and relaxed style, excellent defence, reflexes, and rapid fire combinations and output would cause Roy nightmares

    Bivol isn't just an excellent counter puncher he's also a combination counter puncher so it's not just one counter you have to be wary of coming back at you

    Thank you for your concern. But you really need to be concentrating on your own issues.

    I never said that Bivol was slow. And I’m a huge fan myself.

    But he isn’t anywhere near as fast as Roy, and he doesn’t have huge power.

    He’s a fast technician.

    Roy was an ultra fast technician, but with a highly unorthodox and unpredictable style.

    Bivol would have been beaten to the punch.

    The rest of your garbage doesn’t even warrant a response.

    Roy’s prime was in the mid 90’s.

    The 1990’s.

    Not the 1790’s.

    You’re probably yet another sad troll on this forum.
