    Prime Roy Jones Jr, at HW (something we never saw because he was not prime when he moved up against Ruiz)

    Vs

    Best Version of Tyson Fury

    Both Fighters agree to NO ped testing

    I'm sure lots on here won't give RJJ a chance, but I'd say he has a shot at using silly fast combos to outpoint Fury

    You don't think RJJ has even an outside shot, (or power) to keep Fury honest?

    Good Lord, no.

    For one, Tyson is very strong and can dominate purely from his size/weight. He is also a gorilla armed freak, tall with reach, so he can create a lot of distance. Roy is not especially tall or long. In fact, in heavyweight terms, he is the opposite. The last point is that Tyson has the feet of a ballerina and moves to create distance and angles quickly and fluidly. He's a freak of a heavyweight. Roy doesn't have a chance.

    Fury's size and ring IQ would see him make adjustments to bully Roy

    I can see Roy beating a Carnera or Willard pretty emphatically but Fury has so much more sophistication. He can infight with short punches or box outside while showing excellent defense

    Fury easily. Just as fast as Roy and too big and strong.

    Yes, because top level athletes struggle to pass anti-doping protocol...

    No, sorry but Roy gets ragged around the ring.
