    Roy's style was unique enough when combined with his speed to cause Usyk to be more defensively minded in the first few rounds. Usyk would adjust and start letting his hands go by round three or four and Roy wouldn't have answers.

    Usyks chin has taken huge punchers and Roy even in his prime was dropped by Lou Del Valle. Usyk simply outboxes Jones once he adjusts to the hand speed and wins anyway he wants.

    RJJ at heaviest was like 185 (I think 183). Usyk at lightest was likely 210+. I can't see Usyk losing to a guy 4 inches shorter and 30 pounds lighter than him. p4p RJJ was the better athlete, but in absolute Usyk is just a much better athlete, purely due to size. Usyk is huge compared to most people and he is one of the best boxers to ever live in terms of skill. RJJ was normal sized and a great athlete with good boxing skills. Usyk wins handily, I pick KO due to the size gap, but decision wouldn't surprise me given how RJJ performed vs Ruiz.

    good breakdown, you have to believe that Jones' counters wouldnt bother Uysk at all. Uysk wouldnt be discouraged at all, and Roy was a very good puncher from 160-175

    Surely no-one voted for Usyk being no better than 'ok'?
