    Roy's otherworldly speed vs. Usyk's masterful technique.

    Who wins?

    Usyk KO, too big and skilled. John Ruiz sucked

    Usyk by KO

    Jones has no Chin, no Plan B in a fight and never beat an undisputed, unified, or lineal champion in his whole career.

    Jones was a great fighter. Usyk easily beats him and it’s not a reflection of Jones’ skill. I hate historical comparisons in general but at least stick to guys in the same weight class.

    Without PEDs Jones was probably not all that great. Once again, I have to remind everyone that Jones was busted for PED use, and the commissions chose not to do anything about it.

    With or without them, Usyk by KO.

    Do people who post these threads have no knowledge of the sport, or are they trolling or just dumber than a box of refried sh!t?
    “Who wins - Mayweather vs Sugar Ray Leonard?”
    “Jones vs Usyk?”
    In what fornicating world does a man known as Reluctant Roy take a fight with Usyk?
    I’ve said it before, the real fantasy isn’t Roy and Floyd fighting Usyk or Leonard, it’s Roy and Floyd even signing the contract!

    I think LHW was Roy's size/weight limit as far as peak performance. I just don't see him beating a CW, especially the guy who is very likely the 2nd best CW ever.

    I am always of the opinion good big beats good little, and great big beats great little. If all things are equal given how outstanding they are compared to their peers in their own weights, the big guy is gonna beat the little guy.

    These things have to be proven. We know factually that Roy Jones used banned PEDs. We don't know that most of his opponents did.

    I like Roy a lot but he only had one world level fight north of light heavyweight (against limited John Ruiz) before he was shot to pieces, so the answer is Usyk obviously…

    Tyson admitted to it, but i don't recall him being caught. It's like weed. Easy to get, easy to pass drug tests, so based of that i guess that means the population that smokes weed is small right ?

    At this point it's free game for the sport of boxing. We don't absolutely know but it's easy to see that lots of them are on that government grade juice
