It will be because RJJ is very old at this point. He's 40 at this point and could be 41 or 42 by the time they fight.
Prime RJJ > Prime Anderson
at boxing and it's retarded to argue otherwise.
Prime Anderson vs. 42 year old RJJ?
Maybe Anderson has a small chance. Now it's only unlikely instead of impossible.
obviously, prime for prime RJJ would win.
that's why it's even a match-up at this point. prime for prime RJJ would toy with Anderson.
A "Prime" RJJ would KO Anderson at will. I doubt Anderson could even land a single punch or dodge a single punch actually. But yeah, Roy is many years out of his prime. I doubt Anderson could win, but he might be able to land a punch or two and last a few rounds at this point.
Prime RJJ would completely own any MMA'er ever in a strict boxing match. Clear cutting will occur, likely complete deforrestation.
This is past prime, 40+ year old RJJ. Anderson still has to train incredibly hard against boxers and be in prime shape with great technical boxing to make it a match.
