    Roy Jones Jr would whoop him so bad. Too much speed never mind the power, angles and athleticism and all the other talents of RJJ.

    Jones cherry picked at 175, Kov was an excellent heavy handed boxer prime, he sparks Jnr if Jnr would've stepped up

    Jones would be too fast and too elusive for Kov. Not to mention, Jones could HIT at 175.

    I would prefer shot RJJ vs shot Kovalev fight. That would be hilarious. Both have no punch resistance at this point and would be KOed by a range finding jab.

    I hate to admit that pre Ward I thought Kova would have a great chance against Roy.

    Now I see that Kova might be the fighter Ive overrated the most in my entire time as a boxing fan.

    Jones easily. Jones vs Ward is a better question, but still Jones.

    Prime RJJ was practically unbeatable.

    Kovalev would be lucky to see round 5.

    Nah. Kovalev was a legit beast and head to head would have been a challenge for anyone in his prime.

    However, his decline has been sooo dramatic it is not even funny. Image everything going wrong at once; that's exactly what happened to Kovalev.

    Bad matchup for Kovalev. Jones would make him miss make him pay especially prime RJJ

    Roy would have been way too fast for Kov.... RJJ by stoppage or an extremely wide UD
