Seriously doubt it in a real fight with no gloves. They wouldn't even see Roy knocking them out in his prime.

No gloves? Its a well known fact Roy jr had brittle bones from his malnourished (poor) upbringing. A few punches without gloves and his hand will be broken. Most heavyweight miscers who could take a few punches would eventually win vs Roy Jr without gloves

In a real fight any boxer is losing 99% of the time vs a well rounded fighter. Sort of hilarious how people think that somehow not being able to use any other parts of your body to fight other than your fists makes you better. They would lose to top muay thai fighters too. Wrestlers would murk them as well.

I would say that a legit 15 years old BJJ blue belt will whip the floor with him, boxing experience only always loses to any kind of grappling.

How do you grapple when you are knocked out as soon as you get within reach?

Go for a takedown get a beatdown.

Sorry but no.

See Floyd vs Conor. Conor couldn't do sht. Now imagine them in a street fight with no rules. Same results but much more fast

A boxer wins 99% of the time in a street fight. MMA fighters rarely throw kicks or takedowns. And if they have no clue they're going against a 50-0 professional boxer it's game over for them.

Had to neg you for being a retard. There’s a reason Mayweather declined the UFC rematch. Because he’d get his ass handed to him

What??? Mayweather declined UFC because it's UFC rules. He's not trained in grapples, takedowns, or kicks.

We're talking a street fight with no rules. If Floyd and Conor didn't know each other, Floyd would win with ease. Boxing is a much superior striking technique and Conor would think his subpar stand up is enough. Nope. Quick knock out.

Hell a boxer could rush a UFC fighter. So go ahead and get your 1-2 shin kicks in. Tyson would quickly destroy most fighters. Grapple him? That's IF you could stop his fists.

Tyson was a thug though. A phenom of power and aggression. Roy is a technician with much less power.

You're talking about a trained mixed martial artist, not some clueless guy off the street with no idea about how to close distance safely.

A pure boxer has a puncher's chance to stop a low single.


And btw leg kicks hurt like fuk.

But who was superior foot work and stamina? Guy could swing crazy for days and not get tired. Do MMA fighters even have the same stamina?

You better grab him or use those kicks, that's if you can kick him. Grabbing is your best option, that's if you can grab a hold of him. That's why I lol at BJJ comments. Lol at trying to grab a world class boxing that's constantly moving on his toes. Go watch old boxing videos of Ali, Jones, Or Tyson. If you want a fighter today look at Lomachenko

Simple. Not letting you kick me in the legs again.

A boxer gets in close range and it's over.

Tim Sylvia is also an arrogant tool box that thought he had top tier boxing skills.
