Beterbiev VS prime RJJ @ LHW

Prime Roy maybe would be nearly unhittable for Arthur, that said if he does connect with one of them boulders......whoo boy. Would boil down to if he could find someone as fast and mobile as Jones.

 

Roy jones 12-0

 

A great, well thought-out response.

FASTEST FEET
David Haye: He definitely moved the best against me.

Beterbiev has already put hands on a longer, more fleet-footed, skilled and durable opponent than Jones in Usyk.

 

I think RJJ outpoints him. Roy was too slick and elusive.

 

He could also punch too. He doesnt punch nearly as hard as Beterbiev, but he can still bang. He can hurt Beterbiev if he gets too reckless and aggressive. If Beterbiev lands he knocks out Roy. If he doesn't land then RJJ late TKO or UD.

 

LOL @ Beterbiev being ahead.

I don't think you people remember how good Roy was in his prime. The guy made elite fighters look like bums. Beterbiev might not be able to land a punch on prime Roy.

 

Seriously, prime Roy was the Bo Jackson of boxing. He was an otherworldly athlete who made the sport look easy.

Ridiculous how people think Beterbiev would have a chance against him.

 

After watching beterbiev moving like an elephant in a crystal store... with a footwoork that makes young canelo or maidana look like ray leonard.... then I see here people voting that RJJ would lost.

Ok. Where do those guys come from? from the football forum? I bet most of the voters do not ****ing know who the heck RJJ is. And if you push me, I bet many of them havent even watched him fighting ever. Ridiculous..

 

Yeah Haye was very good on his feet as well. He was like a parade brand Roy in my eyes. Usyk? I don't feel like he's in the same class as Roy in that aspect, let alone a decade ago? Jeez. I guess Usyk is on his way to being the next people's champ. Faster than Roy, hits harder than Foreman, Better chin and jab than Ali....lol

 

I don't see Usyk winning a round against Roy.

You're not gonna beat Roy in a technical fight. He's just gonna beat you to the punch all night long.

 

J. Ruiz was adamant that HW Haye was faster on his feet than a non-weight cutting LHW-cruiser Jones and as a cruiser/HW who is not at all power based, it stands to reason that Usyk's even faster, more agile, better stamina, more skilled. As Jones' athleticism declined his lack of skill became apparent, whereas superior technicians and tacticians like Hopkins (who also had a far better chin) didn't decline nearly as much if at all into their mid-late 30's and on.

No one claims that Usyk hits harder than Foreman, what an absurd strawman. Faster feet than Jones? Yes. Better chin than Ali? Without question. Better jab? Very probably. But it's not really fair because Usyk can learn from the likes of Ali, Jones and so on but the reverse can't apply because time only goes one way.

 

Educate yourself.
Beterbiev beat Kovalev by 1 (disputed) point to qualify for 2008 Olympics. They were evenly matched.
Kov offered Beterbiev a chance to fight him in 2015 but he turned it down saying it is ramadan (lol).

Name these better fighters (LHW) that Jones beat.

 

Virgil Hill? Even if you don't rate Hill, Roy knocked him out with a right hand to the body.

If that doesn't sound impressive to you, think of how rare body shot knockouts are in general, and then think of how rare non-liver punch body shot knockouts are.
