    Exactly. People act like Roy didn't get hit in his prime. Toney was landing counter right hands over Jones left hook. Bhop landed right hands, Sosa landed, Ruiz even rocked Roy early in their right with a right to the top of the head. He took plenty of shots and took them well before the Tarver KO which was after the weight drop and 16 year long career.

    Ezzard Charles beats Jones and convincingly

    I got Ezz timing some of Jones's wide shots and hurting him with a neat little check hook or short cross

    Also Jones whilst being an incredible athlete with unbelievable speed didn't have the best footwork and Ezzard was a master ring general, he'd make Roy very uncomfortable before he stopped him

    Roy would obviously have a chance, his speed alone gives him it, he'd have to be absolutely perfect with the perfect game plan and make more adjustments than he made in his career, and I don't see him doing this well

    Ezzard TKO9 in a 60/40
