In a parallel universe, Holyfield gets the nod in his drawn rubber match with John Ruiz and defends against 47-1 Roy Jones Jnr. Who you got in 2002-2003 if RJJ’s WBA heavyweight Title shot came against the real deal?
Roy, for me. The Roy moving up to fight Ruiz in 03 was better than James Toney in 03 and he handled Evander easily. I see Roy making Evander miss and punishing the body for a clear points win or even a late TKO.
Jones by decision. Evander would desperately need a knockout to win and his punches were losing a lot of snap by that point. It would also be very difficult to hit Jones cleanly.
