    How do you see HW Roy Jones Jr (who decisioned Ruiz) do against the Bronze Bomber? Would he have been able to use his speed to outbox Wilder or would Wilder eventually find his mark at some point? Would have been interesting to see since this was the last fight that we got to see RJJ at his best before he drained himself back down to LHW.

    Wilder brutally KOs him.

    Reminder that Ruiz did actually land on Jones. Imagine Wilder with his advantages...

    You'd have as much chance of getting Roy in the ring with Wilder as Canelo fighting Sonny Liston.

    good matchup

    roy would defo take wilder to school with his highskill level


    i see roy being flashy and outboxing wilder

    i see wilder stunning roy once in the 4th round

    then getting outboxed in flashy display til wilder stops him late .


    thats the thing about wilder idk if his power only works against certain fighters like past prime etc out of shape

    or if his power works on prime fighters at their weak as well


    i have it 55/45 for now with me favoring wilder a bit more due to his power

    but i can see roy taking this one as well



    wilder KO 9

    Jones and Nady managed to tag team a win against Ruiz, but Roy was not a heavyweight. There's a reason Jones was one and done at Heavyweight. Jones would get walloped.
