    RRJ KO7. Look I rate Bivol highly but he’s not comparable to Roy.

    Roy Jones would win a decision. Ironically the speed would beat the accuracy.

    This would be a tactical and boring fight

    JONES wins because he is to much extra. Speed, power athleticism

    Jones too gifted and talented to not win. Bivol too technically sound to not go the distance. Jones by decision.

    Roy is too dynamic in virtually every particular for Bivol.

    Jones UD or possibly late stoppage.

    Bivol is faster than most of the light-heavies Jones beat.

    As good as Bivol is with his precise, technically sound boxing, Roy was something else. He broke many rules and that unorthodox method would make it difficult for Bivol as Roy did things you shouldn't because he was so damn fast and coordinated that he could make it work for him.

    Roy wins a clear decision.
