Love RJJ, and his prime self may be the best P4P I've seen. But weight classes exist for a reason. Prime RJJ is coming in at 25-32 lbs less than the cruiser version of Usyk, and as both are ATG elites it just doesnt add up for him to be able to makeup that difference.

IMO Roy is higher on the ATG list but if they fought at Hwt or Crusier I am taking Usyk by stoppage.

Usyk would stop him without much trouble. Roy Jones was all flash like the usual suspects in boxing always are. No substance. He couldn't take a blow on the chin without wobbling or going out. Usyk stops him within 5 rounds

LOL!! not surprise..

Ruiz was hand picked because he had a title, was a small heavyweight and had cement feet and relied on excessive holding, so Roy could easily pop shot him.

Usyk would batter Roy. If they were the same size it would still be a very hard fight but throw in the size advantage and Usyk stops him

Roy’s speed probably gives Usyk problems early, but Usyk is an incredibly skilled fighter with great timing. I suspect he figures Roy out and begins to utilise his natural size advantages. I’d pick Usyk by stoppage in the latter half of the fight.

Hopkins and Toney couldn't "figure Roy out" and Usyk isn't a better boxer than them, what he is though is a lot bigger and I suspect that makes the difference.

Actually come to think of it Bredis came within a cats whisker of beating Usyk so I think prime roy can do it, Roy UD.
