Roy Jones Jr vs Sergey Kovalev at 175, Who Takes It?

[SalimShady1212]

I was watching some of Kovalev's fights and some of RJJ today and damn what a fun fight this would have been. Y'all must have forgot how much of a monster Jones was, a sparring partner of Mayweather who also sparred RJJ said Roy was faster. However, Kovalev is a real mean mofo who genuinely wants to inflict pain on his opponent. He fought Pascal in an "if he dies, he dies" manner. Who do you think would take this fight?

Kovalev no doubt..

[Larry the boss]

I'd have to side with Roy in his prime

Jones in his prime was damn near unbeatable... Kovalev is dangerous, reminds me of a russian McClellan (who did beat Jones in the AM) but Jones at 175 what taking apart everyone in the division. That said, I don't think Kovalev's chin would handle a power shot that Jones could land (like in Griffin 2)

RJJ was a beast in his prime i would think is rjj would take this one but damn it's a tough fight

[BigAlexSand]

With out a doubt, Jones would not take Kovalev easily. Most likely going for the early KO.

[BigAlexSand]

Not to mention Kovalev has been shook my much lesser opposition compared to Jones.

[richardt]

Jones cat-like reflexes and speed and footwork and timing would have Kovalev following him around the ring getting countered all night.

[Bram]

Typical RJ fight at 175 when at his best. Either late stoppage or 118-110 victory.

[Kagami Taiga]

Hard to see anyone beating Roy at 175.
