    Huge Roy Fan, but in this instance I would have to say Wilder would win

    to big
    to "fast" - not that hes faster than roy, but fast enough to land something
    has power
    has a good Jab (from what I saw in his last fight, a very very good HW jab)

    Chins aside - Deontays heald up quite well and Roy at this point in his career could and did take the odd big punch....... I still have to go with Wilder.

    It was a good interview.

    If Roy was 25 today, there'd be 50 threads per week about him.

    Roy Jones got KO'd and UD'd by Tarver. I don't think he'd have any chance against Wilder at all.

    yeah I am not sure Wildman is accurate enough to catch prime roy hard over 12 rounds for sure. He sure misses a LOT, I wonder if his real surname is Calzaghe.

    I don't think its a done thing that Wildman can stop roy, and if that's the case Roy might outpoint him.

    but its advantage obviously Doentay.

    Wilder would knock Jones pea sized head into about the 40th row. Jones wouldn't last the first round.

    Jones would have never taken this fight. Wilder would KO him even if Roy had his guard up.
