What happens?
Lets wait until who wins Bivol v Beterbiev. Roy Jones was speed and skills but not the greatest light heavyweight.
I would say Spinks, Foster, Archie Moore and Ezzard Charles were greater.
I would say pre-Ruiz RJJ, RJJ all day. Post Tarver, I say Bivol and Beterbiev both beat him.Quote:

Post Tarver still hurts.Quote:

Agree Bivol is just understated cagey and mobile. Roy was supreme reflex and natural athleticism but wasn't some willow o' wisp on defense.Quote:
