Can we all agree that Roy Jones Jr would put up a better fight than Wilder?

Even though Roy would be at a severe size disadvantage, he was still extremely fast and quick at heavyweight.

I honestly don't think Fury would be able to catch him.

Roy (pre Tarver KO) was truly a sight to behold.

Roy prob had the highest prime of any fighter I've seen, but he isnt getting past Fury's jab, he had enough problems getting past Tarvers. Roy's best weight was 68 imho, at 75 he was still unbelievable but not the biggest at that weight

Jones gets handled identical to Enzo Maccarinelli handled him, with the same outcome.

It's not giving Roy any credit if he did better than Wilder against Fury in the second fight. Wilder didnt do anything. I dont think Roy could've done what Wilder did in the first fight. He's too small.

Don't see how. Fury's punches are very slow for someone like Roy.

And Enzo Mac was any faster?

Are you really comparing a '15 Roy to a '03 Roy?

Fury was getting outboxed by Cunningham. People are talking like he's superman.

Too small at heavy weight... fury is also fast for his size and have good technique.. there’s a reason roy only fought once at heavyweight

No.... He fought once at Heavyweight because he wanted to prove a point that he could fight in the division.

He only went back to light heavy because he had unfinished business.
