Roy from when he went LHW all the way until he went to heavyweight would beat any version of Bernard we've seen. He beat Bernard convincingly with a broken hand! People say Bernard was green, but he already had more fights than Roy as a pro, and I am sure he had more than enough experience in a Philly jail.
