Fury vs. Holyfield, Mayweather vs. Leonard: Roy Jones Picks the Winners

Former world champion Roy Jones Jr. shared his thoughts on hypothetical matchups between boxers from different eras and who he would bet on:

- Muhammad Ali or Mike Tyson?

- Muhammad Ali. If it weren’t for Muhammad Ali, there would be no Roy Jones.

- Floyd Mayweather or Sugar Ray Leonard?

- Sugar Ray Leonard. I’m not taking anything away from Floyd, but Floyd fought for money, while Ray fought for legacy.

- Tyson Fury or Evander Holyfield?

- Riddick Bowe caused a lot of problems for Evander, and he’s not as great as Fury. I’m confident Fury would win.

- George Foreman or Deontay Wilder?

- This one’s tough, but if Fury could knock out Wilder, George could do it too.

- Roy Jones Jr. or Canelo Álvarez?

- That’s it—once you say 'Roy Jones,' there’s nothing more to discuss.
