    I'd pick Jones, though he could certainly get Johnson'd in that 10th or 11th, I forget which it was.

    :lol: Oh please. John Ruiz could barely touch him.
    Just because Jones had that sudden fall, doesn´t mean the now everyone in history crushes him.

    Hm I dunno. Only ever saw roy at hw against ruiz who was so different than chisora. And tho I love rjj he didn't exactly look amazing in that fight. I guess my head says chisora if it's peak chisora tho I wanna believe roy could pull it off.

    A 2003 Roy Jones still at HW would box Chisora to a decision win.

    The version that dropped down to CW was a shell of his former self. His career was essentially over at the elite level, once he stepped down from HW and got iced by Tarver and Glen Johnson in successive fights. The weight gain and weight loss and change slowed him down and ruined him

    I don’t think Jones wouldn’t be able to tolerate the head and body punches that Chisora landed on Usyk.

    Chisora isn´t that much better.
    Chisora barely landed anything on Usyk, and I don´t see how could do any better against Jones.
    And Jones at the time was not as weak as people remember him to be.
