Prime for Prime, Dmitrii Bivol vs. Roy Jones Jr ?

There isn't anyone on Roy's resume who he beat that Bivol wouldn't beat

Imagine what Bivol would do to a healthy James Toney at 175, let alone against the extremely listless walking dead version Roy beat at 168 who was as flat as a pancake. Bivol would use his speed and footwork to box his ears off

Same thing with Ruiz

B-Hop ain't beating him either

None of them are

 

Roy would get violently KO'd in bloodcurdling HL reel fashion if he fought 12 rounds vs Beterbiev, let alone 24

Bivol turned pro a month before his 25th birthday, is essentially the same size as Roy was, and would've turned pro at lower weight had he done so when he was Roy's age

And we know what methods Roy used to ascend through the divisions and how he wasn't being drug tested at all for the first 10-11 years of his career and even when he started to undergo some semblance of testing it was about as stringent as ''Did you take steroids for this fight, Roy?''

I think it's extremely unfair on Bivol to ignore that

If Toney and B-Hop were career 175 pounders Bivol still beats them

Bivol would school Ruiz. Roy beat him because he was much faster and more elusive and because the ref would not allow him to hold Roy, Bivol does exactly the same. Too fast of hand and foot and too skilful. He won't be there to be hit

 

Prime Roy would get violently knocked out by Beterbiev, even the 40 y/o version of Beterbiev. His chin was just not built to withstand that kind of power and Beterbiev wouldn't even need to land flush

 

Callum Johnson is a huge puncher, Roy 100% get slept out cold from that shot

Roy was knocked out in the amateurs with big gloves and head gear on by an Irish nobody

He was dropped heavily by Del Valle

He was sparked out cold from a love tap by Glen Johnson

Knocked absolutely senseless by Tarver who had Roy dribbling baba spittle, eyes in separate orbit, and trying to make out with the canvas

 

Prime Roy was a lab creation who gets KO 1'd by VADA if he fought in this era

He barely fought any legit punchers and KO artists throughout his steroid enhanced prime

Stop it he was not shot at 35 y/o
