Prime Roy Jones Jr. vs. Artur Beterbiev.

[CastletonSnob]

Who would have won? Could Beterbiev's size and strength have overcome Roy's superhuman speed and reflexes?

 

[Michael Linger]

in my opinion Beterbiev wins, he's an absolute killer. His power, his strength and his skill combo are just too much.

Jones would play it safe and win a dull decision

 

[KAZSoliloquy]

jones blows him out of the water. 5th or 6th round KO

Jones would play it safe and win a dull decision

I guess this outcome is the most likely.

I'm a huge Beterbiev fan, but prime RJJ is one of the best to ever do it.

RJJ via lightning fast KO.

 

[Shidlord]

beterbiev would be made to look like a nobody. Sorry but beterbiev aint no prime James toney either. There are levels.

Roy clowns him. Beterbiev isn't an ATG. He's way too slow to touch Prime RJJ

 

[ironfist05]

RJJ easy (first 4 rounds honestly). Biev's only chance is a lucky shot.

 

[Simple Southerner]

Jones ud

There's no way Biev can close the distance against a prime RJJ the way he does against C level fighters and I love Biev

Beterbiev would be so slow, Roy would see him moving in slow motion like Quicksilver.

 

[RoyCisneros]

RJJ literally looked unbeatable IMO

 

[randomg1t]

i think RJJ's speed and power could make beterbiev look stupid.

in his prime, roy jones really looked superhuman. artur is a frightening fighter, but roy was just ridiculous.

Is RJJ on juice or not ? If not Beterbiev if so RJJ

This is not even a fight …. RJJ vía destruction

I guess this outcome is the most likely.

prime RJJ? i doubt it. maybe his later years at LHW when he was still winning but his competition was so shit, he just literally danced in the ring. prime RJJ was making examples out of people. montell griffin was a very solid all-around boxer and roy put his skull on pluto.

Well, we’re talking LHW indeed. I don’t rule out RJJ’s winning by KO but he had a few wins by decision at 175 against fighters that weren’t all that special and I don’t see Beterbiev that easy to blow out of the water.

fair. griffin beat a younger (arguably prime in the first fight) james toney twice though. far better wins than anything biev has done so far imo.

julio gonzalez, reggie johnson, lou del valle, mike mccallum all went to decisions with rjj in his prime at LHW and they have 1 combined stoppage loss. in 250+ fights. not exactly glassjaws. that telesco guy went the distance as well but not for jones’ lack of trying. he won one of the cards 120-106. that was a beating that likely should have been stopped. richard hall should have been stopped about 4 rounds sooner as well.

just my personal opinion and roy’s prob my fav fighter of all time so i’m admittedly biased. i don’t think beterbiev makes it past 7 with 1996-1999 RJJ
