    With or without steroids. RJJ wins a wide UD.
    Supposedly? You act like if I'm making it up or something when it's a straight up fact lmao you know he failed a drug test for ped's right?

      Jones had a short lived peak, but it was undoubtedly one of boxing’s highest peaks.

      If prime Jones beat one of the greatest of all time (and one of my favorites) Bernard Hopkins, I just can’t really see Bivol doing anything Hopkins couldn’t against Roy.

      Keep in mind we’re talking about PRIME RJJ, not the one that lost to Hopkins and Calzaghe and others.

        I think the fundamentals of Bivol will sharpen the edges off of Roy's approach. In the meantime Bivol will be able to nick in round after round as Roy is uncomfortable getting his rhytm off. Roy can stop Bivol with a fast snapping punch and overall win rounds with flashy combo's.

        It can go either way. For Roy, Bivol would be one of the biggest names on his resume.

          I don't think many people beat prime Roy on roids, even if they were given them too. He was just phenomenal with them.

          I'd take a punt on Bivol if we 100% knew drugs were not in use. Hard to say the reality of the situation.

              Yes. He failed 2 drug test. But you pretend as if he did it for every single fight.

                Bivol beat a midget and can crush in 12 round decisions. Beterbiev beat the life out of the 2 better fighters. Should this thread be Beterbiev vs Jones? How Jones would react if Beterbiev was able to touch him? It's obvious at this point when Beterbiev guys they react funny



                mccloud fight was crazy. as i said, when you tie him up, you have hold both of his arms.
